About Me

Well, I'm 28 years old, I live in Toronto, and I'm married. I have many interests, I'm an open minded person, and I'm also a bit of a 'black sheep' depending on who is looking.Spiritually I'm a pagan, celtic reconstructionist type, with strong Norse interests that I'm currently exploring. I'm also part of a women's tradition.Academically I have an Honours BA with majors in Celtic Studies and Anthropology. Looking into another degree in Midwifery, but it's not likely to happen for awhile if it does. I speak English and French and I have taken several courses in Spanish and Irish Gaelic.Artistically I am dabbling in acrylic and watercolor painting, beading and other jewelery making, sketching, and poetry writing. I'm learning to be more creative. I'm interested in traditional arts, especially weaving, but I haven't had much of a chance to explore this yet."hazelbranch" on LiveJournal, which I think I like more than MySpace.
