About Me

I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I have been married to the same man for 25 years and we have 2 children - both grown up and two beautiful grandaughters. Some people call me eccentric. Some people call me mad. Some people call me spooky.Whatever I'm called, I'm a one and only. When I was born, the mould got broken. Fear of another one I think. I certainly beat to the sound of a different drum, that's for sure.Whatever I am, I'm special just like everyone else.

My Interests

Wow! where do I start? History, Politics, Metapyshics, Occult, Celtic Mythology, Pyschology, Sociology and the list goes on.

I'd like to meet:

There isn't any one in particular that I'd like to meet.The Angel of Death - A blessing for some, a curse for others.

Movies:

Love Science Fiction. Don't mind Political Thrillers. Some Comedies.

Television:

Love the Telly.

Books:

I have a Private Library that consists of a vast range of reference books on every subject.Bertrand Russell - History of Western Philosophy. Laurence Gardner - Bloodline of the Holy Grail. Rossell, Hope and Robbins - The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Demonology. Reginald Scot - The Discoverie of WItchcraft. Harrison's - Principles of Internal Medicine. Hamilton Bailey - Demonstrations of Physical Signs in Clinical Surgery. Shaun O'L. Higgins & Pamela Gilberd - Elizabeth 1, Successful Strategies in the Face of Adversity. John Macleod - Highlanders, A History of the Gaels. Reynolds - The Biology of Human Action.To name just a few. I lost count of my collection at 1000.

Heroes:

The people who aren't afraid to be themselves, despite what others may think of them. People who stand up for what they believe in. People who think outside the square. As I think of more, I'll add them.
