I am the owner of The Black Cat Closet - an online shop with everything from Gothic clothing and spiritual jewelry to Halloween items and Alleister Crowley books. I have been selling online for over 9 years. I am a lover of anything of the horror/goth nature, a fashion and shoe freak and obsessed with HALLOWEEN! :)

My Interests

Love drinking with friends at a good irish pub, going to concerts, spending time with my boyfriend and 3 cats, decorating my home, Music Music Music, working out, gardening and fashion of course! Oh yes - I have an "un"healthy shoe, jewelry and coat fetish :-/
Things I collect: vintage coats, ladies 40's hats, gloves, victorian bodices, shoe clips, fur stoles, sterling & onyx jewelry, windstone cats, tintype photos, victorian photo albums, old bibles, victorian boots, old sears catalogs, unique candle holders, old lamps, vintage bedspreads. Anything velvet, fur or suede - my three favorite fabrics!

I'd like to meet:


I'm looking to meet open-minded people from the New England area or elsewhere, who know how to have fun and have good conversation! I like people who share my interests for Halloween, dressing up in costume any day of the week and drinking GOOD beer. Strange sense of humor required. If you're into good music, I like you even better! :)
What I HATE: lying, sneaky people w/jealousy issues, insecurities, crying fits and 2" fingernails - who use people for their own personal gain. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke and have no tolerance for LAZY people who take advantage of MY tax dollars. I also have no use for people who talk about you behind your back and are as sweet as pie to your face. I hate when people say "I'm only kidding" when you know they're not. Does that describe you? :)
THE LIBRA ELEMENT
ASPECT/POLARITY: Masculine, which is not a reference to gender but to the associated type of energy. In the case of the masculine aspect, the energy is projective and traditionally conceived as being more active, less receptive and focused on the spiritual/mental world, lending spirituality and activity (both physical and mental) to the character.
ANGEL OF AIR: Raphael, Archangel of the East.
VIRTUE: Knowledge...which is not to infer that Air is more intelligent than the other three Elements, but is generally well-rounded and perhaps better informed. Air is a good communicator, possesses an excellent grasp of language and usually knows a little something about everything. Air is blessed with a good personality and is easy to get to know.
CORE/INDIVIDUALITY: Seer...also known to the ancient philosophers as a priest. Air is mentally inclined, actively acquiring knowledge by means of experience, education and association. In times gone by, the only educated people were either priests or royal personages who took it upon themselves to acquire knowledge. Air is curious, original and possesses initiative, in addition to being (as a general rule) well-disciplined and a quick thinker.
NATURE: Mental and keen-witted. Air rationalizes by thinking things through rather than falling victim to emotional influences or physical factors. Air enjoys any type of entertainment where intellectual capacity and the ability to think quickly and accurately comes into play. Indeed, under such circumstances, Air is almost certain to get the upper hand.
EMOTION: Self appraisal. Air is prone to judge itself extremely harshly and tends to set certain personal standards in terms of hygiene, clothing, education, job performance and family. With the exception of Fire, Air is the most ego-oriented Element of the Zodiac.
EVILS: Chief fault is trickery. Air is crafty, underhanded and ingenious when it comes to evil...though not prone to physical violence. At its worst, Air is the epitome of mean-spiritedness and will invariably harbor a grudge. Air is swift to express opinions and is exceedingly opinionated. Air will not hesitate to verbally express anger, but physical violence is not generally a first choice in terms of an attack.
HUMOR: In Medical Astrology and Astro-Meteorology, the humor of Air is Sanguine, being hot and moist.
MOON PHASE: First Quarter...New Moon (Waning).
POSITIVE CHARACTERISTICS: Intelligence, Diligence, Optimism, Dexterity, Persuasiveness and Psychic Abilities.
NEGATIVE CHARACTERISTICS: Lack of Communication, Tendency to Gossip and Memory Problems.
SENSE: Smell and Hearing. SYMBOLS: Staff, Wand, Broom, Athame, Sword, Censer, Sky, Wind, Circle, Bird, Bell, Sylph, Flute, Chimes, Breezes, Clouds, Plants, Herbs, Flowers and Trees.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS: Flute and all Wind Instruments.
PLANTS AND TREES: Almond, Broom, Clover, Lavender, Frankincense, Pine, Mhyrr, Pansy, Primrose, Vervain, Violet, Yarrow, Dill and the Aspen Tree.
STONES: Topaz, Yellow Flourite, Crystals, Amethyst, Alexandrite, light stones such as Pumice and transparent stones such as Mica.
METALS: Tin and Copper.
LOCATIONS: Mountaintops, Tree Tops Plains, Windy Beaches, High Towers Airports Schools and Libraries.
ANIMALS: Birds (especially the Eagle, Hawk and Raven), Insects and Spiders.
ELEMENTAL SPIRITS: Sylphs (ruled by Paralda), Zephyrs and Faeries who inhabit the world of trees, flowers, winds, breezes and mountains.
BODY PARTS: Chest, Lungs, Throat and the Brain.
HOUR: Dawn.
PENTAGRAM POINT: Upper Left. DIRECTION: East...the place of Sunrise and direction of the greatest light...ruled by Eurus, God of the East Wind, who was said to have built his home near the palace of Helios (the Sun) and was credited with bringing warmth and rain. The East also symbolizes the light of wisdom and consciousness. Its color is yellow, like the Sun itself and the sky at dawn.
MOTTO: To Know.
