You were born in the month of the holly. The holly balances both the positive and negative aspects of the self, thus revealing a new direction. In general, Holly individuals are practical, capable and steadfast in the face of adversity by being cautious, logical and efficient. In relationships, Holly people are supportive, protective and possessive. Holly individuals have a tendency to strive for perfection, which often leads to loss of confidence and direction. They exhibit a large amount of personal integrity and tend to influence things a great deal, but usually behind the scenes. Their word is literally their bond and honor is their guiding principle. The weak point of the Holly individual is sensitivity to personal criticism... his or her need for constant affection and attention can make the Holly demanding in a close relationship. Not known to be risk-takers until all the facts have been gathered, the Holly individual possesses the ability to solve difficult problems through the use of simple logic. Although sometimes appearing to lack a sense of humor, this is chiefly due to the dislike of the Holly individual to laugh at the expense of another. Holly people can be reclusive and all require a quiet place of their own in which to take respite from the huge responsibilities they usually place upon themselves.

Movies:

Like most stuff, but not heavily into sci fi or anything really really horrific!! I love watching just about anything with Johnny Depp in it, not only is he gorgeous but he makes really good films. Love vampire movies, Blade, Dusk til Dawn (George Clooney with Quentin Trantino), most of Quentin Trantineos films, Martin Scorcese also makes great films, ghost stories, gangster movies,comedies, etc etc. LOTR trilogy goes without saying, The God Father, Green Mile, 6th Sense, The Craft and Practical Magic, anyone seen Alice's Restaurant with Arlo Guthrie, classic hippy film! To wong Foo is a must just to see Welsey Snipes in drag!! And Elvira Mistress of the Dark - high camp!! Best old film is Night of the Demon, and the Spiral Staircase check them out! Gotta watch Beaches when I want a good cry, Can't stand predictable romantic comedies....yuk!

Television:

I dont watch a lot of TV but I enjoyed Extras, The Friday Night Project, Life on Mars, South Park; Family Guy, the Simpsons, Darla, Buffy the Vampire Slayer;Black Adder, Father Ted, used to love the Fast Show and Little Britain series one, but i'd rather watch a good movie over tv any day and I dont get MTV or the other music channels now either!!

Books:

Don't get chance to read a lot but when I do its whatever takes my fancy at the time. My favourite book of all time is a childrens book I read at middle school called The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. What kind of witch are you?
You are an Earth Witch! The Material Element of Earth is at your command. You feel out of your skin when confined to the indoors but instantly feel better once your bare feet are touching the Earth you love so much. You nurture all things you feel need nurturing and don't care what people think of you for it. Blunt to the point of having no tact, you don't like to beat around the bush, no pun intended. It takes a lot to get you riled up, but Goddess help the poor soul who gets to you. They'll probably end up 6 feet under... or deeper.Common Powers:Geokinesis- the ability to move rock and metal with one's mindFlorakinesis- the ability to control trees, plants, and flowers with one's mindHealing touch- the ability to heal another person with their touchShapeshifting- the ability to take on the form and abilities of another
