I am here for Friends

About Me




Hmmmmmmmm.................Life!!! How many turns I have taken, and paths I have followed. I end up where I am lead. At the moment.........I like where I am. I look at everything with new wonder, and am grateful for the sight. Someone once called me eccentric........I used to scorn that terminology........now I live it. (tee hee) I sometimes look in the mirror and wonder when I will grow up.........fact is, I dont wanna. If people look at me as an oddity.........so be it. BUT, I am the oddity that thinks. Dangerous combination.......*cackles*. I am pagan.......have been my whole life.........but it found me about 22 years ago. (updated that 2-10-08) I dont apologise.........and I will not defend myself. It is my life to live........my decision to make. For now that will have to do. lol


My Interests



What dont I do. I sew and quilt.........make some of my own clothing. I love to paint-faux finish walls and hand paint older furniture. I love different cultures and learning about them. I love to cook (for I am a domestic goddess). I love to play on the comp..........I adore my kids, I adore my friends. I love to read..........I read lots of history and historical literature. I am in a poetry phase as of late.........been awhile since I have dove into it. I collect antiques, and restore some as well. I love to paint celtic knots.........I love celtic knots actually. I adore a good pedicure.........I so need one right about now. I write poetry and writing in general. I have been classically trained to sing opera. Ballet.........till my feet got too big. (size 11.........no shit!.......try squeezing them into toe shoes) I love art in all forms..........museum junkie. Pre-Raph hysterical!! I absolutely adore historical architecture.........history you can touch and feel. The rain, the snow..........the full moon on a cloudless night. Bonfires and nakedness (lol) Long walks in the middle of nowhere.........up a mountain, by a stream...........no words, no voices..........just echoes of time gone by. Trees...........bigger and stronger than I can put my arms around, stretched to the heavens and high as the eye can see. Time consumed by thoughts, thoughts consumed by time. A gorgeous redhead who always has my back (sissy of my heart). Velvet clothing.........silk and satin.......BLACK! Anything dark and gothic.......anything with fangs. My daughter at 6 waiting in line for over 4 1/2 hours to meet Anne Rice. (Whos daughter is she??) Doc Martens. Men with dark, long hair, big feet, and a huge broadsword...........kilt is good too *double exclamation*!!! Arthurian legend and archaeology. My ex who still watches over me like a father. Traveling................and on and on and so forth.......

I'd like to meet:

*quivers* CURRENT MOON moon phases

Of Time And Dust (Tarot)

There's only one we've all fought for.
Give us your grace.
We're the eager sons you bear and eat
with skies on your face.
In all the flesh the craving lives for the embrace
of our cruel mother, the dark queen of our short days.

The heart of flame, the skin of snow,
the cloak of air to kindle our lust.
The womb of seas, the bosom of stones,
The cradle of earth will kiss your bones to dust.

When the earth has gone
will we be adopted by strange stars?
The love won't die, neither will war
and we find no rest apart

The heart of flame...

Timeless the burning, the anger of suns.
Endlessly turning what never has begun.



CELTIC MOON.

A Knotwork of Stars
and Green Willow of Heavens
Where Goddess holds Her Court

Pattern of Planets
Old Man of the Forest
Why is this no longer taught

Earth Mother Guardian
Age Old Religion
No Salvation can be bought

Forces of Nature
Are Old as the Hills
Their secrets have oft been sought

Four phase runs Truth and True
Oft Misunderstood
Where Ritual was once Way of Life
Not Forced, nor it should

As Four are the Seasons
As of Eight Spoked Wheel
Of Imbolc and Samhain, and Lammas and Beltane,
And Natural is The Goddess Seal


Written by my good friend Sensible Theo, for me. A good friend to me for a year and a half now......has it been that long? lol

After Forever-Energize Me

Nightwish-Bye Bye Beautiful

Epica-Never Enough


Within Temptation-The Howling

Music:

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
