A Member of Pagan Space has Died....she was one of my oldest and dearest friends

Delia & Me September 1990 It's never easy to lose a friend, let alone one who was like a sister but that is exactly what has happened. I returned from a week of camping to find that one of my best friends had died in her sleep at the young age ...

I've gone to the forest to frolic with my Laird and our Ancestors...Slàinte mhòr agad!

Profile Information

Relationship Status:: Married

Age: well on my way to 100

Astrological Sign: Capricorn

About Me:: Whilst this is no a picture of me, twould be how I rather fancy myself during the olde time period...awe to be young, beautiful and live in a past time, where honour and love were all that mattered.... "a girl can dream, can't she?"

Child of Universe, Lover of Nature, Animals and Mankind Ok now I am ready to add more information here:

I am first and foremost a woman, who is a young 54 married to a wonderful man who is the Laird of our Clan. He is forever my Highlander. We have 1 adult daughter and 1 teenage daughter and a new grandson with a very good scottish name, Alexander Duncan. I took an early retirement as a sheriff's sergeant in 1998, to stay home with my, then 3 year old, daughter. My husband is a high Ranking officer in our Fire Department and a firefighter/paramedic/pediatric trauma nurse, too. I walk the pagan path of Wicca and have keen interests in the Druids, as my family came to Canada from Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland and from County Derry, Ireland. My grandmother was a McGregor and we descend from the MacGregor, MacClean and Duncan Clans.

I take care of an aging parent which limits some of my activities. I am a genealogical researcher; researching in the USA, Canada and the UK. My mother's family immigrated from Germany to the USA in the 1700's and were members of the Moravian Faith. I prefer my scottish roots as I am more closely connected to them. I am also a member of the NSDAR as my fifth great grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War and I've been able to prove that descendant line with documentation.

I am not ashamed of any work that I have done in my life, though people tend to shy away from me when I say that I am a retired cop. I have no connections to that part of my life. I will from time to time mention it as it relates to a story that I am telling. That part of my life is part of who I am. I do not judge people for their lifestyle or their past. Our past, whether good or bad, is a part of who we are. Dwelling on the negative aspects of our past is not healthy but learning from them is what makes us stronger.

I have high expectations of honor, trust and loyalty. I do not like people who I cannot trust as this is a clear violation of the path that I have chosen. I wish no ill to anyone, only happiness and enlightenment.

Favorite Books: Historical Romance novels, with a keen likeness to the Scottish-Time Travel Romance
I also like to read books on different paths of faith to make my self aware of what is out there. I am still learning, every day.

Beliefs / Practices: Pagan, Druid

Other Beliefs/Practices: I've a keen association with those who practice wicca...and a tendancy to rely on witchcraft at times...This does no make me an indecisive practioner, as some might think, but cunning enought to employ and unite those aspects of the two paths to my liking.

Hobbies: Quilting, Sewing, Machine Embroidery work, teaching when I'm allowed the time, craft work, painting and genealogy work.

Heroes: My Husband & my late Sire

Likes: Old Scotch-Irish ballads, Celtic music, Some classical...Ode to Joy is my favorite, music of the 30's, 40's, 50's 60's and 70's... I like the BlueRidge Mountains of North Carolina & Virginia, sitting by the fire and reading historical romance novels, any type of historical or biographical books and books that cover aspects of different paths. I like thunderstorms and like to sleep when it's raining and/or cold. Well damn I could write a book on all that I like...suffice it to say that there's not much I don't like....

Dislikes: People who are untruthful, take things that are not their's and who basically have no Honor. Arrogant behavior without the knowledge to deserve such arrogance. "Path Jumpers", people who jump from one path to the next based on their desire to be noticed or accepted. People who claim a heritage that they cannot prove through documentation and/or research. Anyone can say they "are" but not many can "prove" they are....

I dislike rap, country and several other types of music..

Cats and Witches....How They Became Such Close Friends

Winged cat by Stephanie Law

Below are two articles about Witches and Cats and how they came to be so closely associated to one another. I found it quite interesting as my cat, Radar, is my familiar and joins me everytime I'm in the Kirk.

A Beautiful Soul who loved as a woman and as a man...her words will live on forever...Amantine Dupin aka: George Sand

“I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.”

Well it's days like today that make me sit back and wonder many things......not the least of which will be where one dumbass good ole' country boy, who showed his stupid ass in the Desoto Square Mall, might be right now....or from what rock he crawled out.

'Tis been a damn long time since I wanted to whip out my badge and shove it in someone's face, but today was the day. Good thing for "dickhead" that I'm retired for if I weren't his ass would most definitely be spending the night in a hold… Continue

~Samhain Blessing~

May the ancestors deliver blessings on you and yours…
May the New Year bear great fruits for you…
May your granted wishes be as many as the seeds falling from the maple…

May the slide into darkness bring you comfort and peace…
May the memories of what has been keep you strong for what is to be…
May this Samhain cleanse your heart, your soul, and your mind!
