Profile Information

Relationship Status:: In a Relationship

Age: 40

Astrological Sign: Cusp Virgo/Libra--more Libra as I age

About Me:: Whatever you want to know, just ask. I am an open book with just a few private pages.

I live in Dallas, Oregon with my husband of almost 17 years (got married at 23, you can now do the math). I went back to school in June to get a pharamacology degree--by my 43rd birthday I will be behind the pharmacy counter pushing pills!

Now, a forewarning. I follow five distinct rules in my life. If you do not share them, then I will not approve a friendship request. They are:

1. Honesty in thought, word, and feeling.
2. Trustworthy in action and speech.
3. Loyality to the person and to my words.
4. Fidelity to my husband and my true friends.
5. Happiness in my life, and with others.

Politically, I am a social liberal and a libertarian fiscal. Check out http://www.lp.org/ for more information on libertarian.

Website:: http://www.troyandbrian.com

Favorite Books: Back Where He Started From, Sabbats, A Year of Ritual, When You Don't See Me, Cathedral City, Desperate Hearts. I have a soft spot for well written gay romances--not the trashy sex kind, but real romance (add some sex to it and I am okay with that!).

Beliefs / Practices: Pagan, Witch, Wiccan

Other Beliefs/Practices: Okay, well I was Alexandrian for years. Now tend to me more solitary who celebrates esbats and sabbats with other solitary witches/warlocks. Hate the word Magick--and do not buy the "trying to differenciate between illusionists and what I do" statement. You see, I am a faggot, I am a queer, I am a fudgepacker, I am gay. So I refuse to surrender a beautiful term (Magic) just because it has taken on another meaning. Feel the same way about warlock.

Hobbies: Cooking, Gardening, Reading, Computer games.

Heroes: My God and Goddess, my husband, myself. Anyone that gives themselves to another.

Likes: Nearly everything and very few dislikes.

Dislikes: Rap music. Dishonesty. Hot days. Violations of my five codes.

How did you find PaganSpace?: Referred by a friend.

Looking to keep someone at arms length

I have this person who said they wanted to be a friend, but as we got to know one another, I discovered things about her that I do not like and am morally opposed to. So I decided to stop responding to her calls and when she comes to the door not ...

The Perfect Man offended?

Hi Everyone, I have this poem on the fridge that I just love. My parents came to my home and read it--and Mom was offended at the conclusion because she said it described my Dad to a T. So, offensive or not? Here is the text (I got it off the we...

There is something about 3s

Today is our 16th anniversary (or the start of our 17th year together, which is what I prefer to think). We were handfasted the first time (repeating annually) on September 3, 1993. That date was 9-03-93. Numerology speaking, that breaks down in...

I am the Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing, you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

Evolving moral thoughts and political beliefs. Is this what it means to be in Midlife?

At 6:39pm on September 24, 2009, Troy Phillips said…: Its funny--emails get exchanged, comments get made, and every time it revels a little more about you. No matter how much you guard against it, every time you open your mouth either literally or figuratively, a little more about you comes out. So unless you want others to know more about you than you want to know, be truthful, be honest, be understanding, be careful. When you are, no lies can come up to trip you up later on.

Cowards behind the keyboard

I have been a member of this group for a little while, contributed to various boards and discussions. I have also taken online classes, belonged to other discussion groups, and group chats. What I am about to write is no news to anyone, but still should be said.

Millions of people in this country (the United States) and around this planet are cowards behind the keyboards. What? Yes-cowards. They use the anonymity of a computer to say things they would not say to the real world public right to t… Continue

A different health care proposal

I just crafted a health care proposal and submitted it as a part of my Health Management 210 class. Too bad I cannot add my pretty graphics here to show it visually.

Here is the meat of the matter--the preceeding four pages were background and an overview of current plans in Congress.

___________________________________________________________________
No matter which of the three plans gets out of Congress, President Barak Obama has vowed to sign them into law creating the largest budgetary ex… Continue

The Older I Get

The older I get, the more scales fall from my eyes and that this lifelong liberal has a conservative streak.

For example, back when I rented, I approved every property tax that came on the ballot. More money for parks-yes. More for the library-yes. More for light rail lines-yes. More for buses-yes. More for schools-yes. More for city/county/regional governments-yes. Had no problem approving them. When rent went up $20-30, I just assumed because housing costs were going up everywhere, so did min… Continue

Negative Energy

Too often, people fail to realize how they affect each other when negative energy has taken over their emotional state. They fail to see that negative energy flows out to others and takes over their energy status as well. This is how arguments happen. But not always.

Sometimes when a person who is receiving that negative energy fights it's imposition on their life, other feelings, still negative, will come forth. These feelings include sadness, distruct, deception, anger, and other related feel… Continue

Morals and morality in others--Why I Do Things I Do.

I am by nature a pretty moral guy as I have gotten older. When I screw up, I admit it; no matter the consequence. When people violate my moral code and are aquaintences or fast friends, they are put on the short list as I do not want people around me who could compromise my moral values.

For example, a fast friend of mine believes in theivery but referred to it by another word. This friend also scams books from booksellers under the guise of reviews. It reflects on his own moral code--that thef… Continue
