I am here for Friends

About Me

Who am I? Age old question…a loving Father of two Children, whom I consider to be my Blessings. A good friend, an ardent lover, a Romantic at Heart. A 21st Century Knight, A Shaman, A Bard, and much, much more.I am a Spiritual Man, though not weighed down by Dogma; I believe we are a part of the world, not above it. Balance in all things. I am patient to a fault and forgiving by nature, though I do have my limits. Those who know me, call me wise, some call me a force of nature, others, a good friend.I have known love and give of myself wholly, empathic, caring, willing to help those I can. I trust until someone gives me reason not to, even then I try to forgive. If I cannot, then you will no longer exist in my philosophy.I am a Renaissance man, talented in many of the arts and sciences, I am always seeking to learn new things, meet new people, experience as much as this life has to offer.Pet Peeves – Do Not Flirt unless truly interested, to do otherwise is Dishonorable. Say what you mean and do what you say. Double standards piss me off. Don’t play games with someone’s heart, it is where they live. I do not suffer fools gladly…To thine own self be true…

You are the Justice card. Justice preserves the
harmony of the world. Working with opposite
forces, Justice does not seek to criticize or
condemn but rather to accept. The idea behind
the card justice is that opposite forces are
complementary; you could not have good without
evil or light without darkness. Justice's
position is to make sure that if a thing is out
of balance, the weight of its energy is
realigned with its opposite force. This card is
also a card of humour, for it is in pointing
out contrary positions that humour is often
found. The attitude that is found in the
humourous person, being able to shift
perspective and flow with an instinct, is
important in the maintenance of good balance.

You are full of charm and cheer.

What is Your Celtic Horoscope?
You scored as Shamanic Pagan. A shamanic pagan's roots are generally found in Native American faith. A true love and respect for the earth and all that it yields is central to their faith. Wisdom is most often found in spirit guides or totems, who can be animals, ancestors, or spirits. Pagans who follow this path tend to be far more aware of the delicate web that interweaves the lives of every person and thus move within that web accordingly. They're usually deeply insightful, friendly, loving people and excellent friends and parents. Mysterious and strong, as well, they are often the protectors of their friends and family as well as the moral compass for their friends and loved ones.
