I'm crafty. I make jewelry, candles, some painting (mainly on terra cotta and scultpures), crochet, & needlepoint. I love dragons, fairies, and the lot. I am a solitary wiccan still in my learning phase so while I love (and am willing) to talk about my beliefs, I am still learning.
I would love to meet other MN Wiccans following the Egyptian pantheon as I am still learning and would LOVE to find more. I have found it rather difficult doing research through the public library and finances don't allow for me to buy all the books I desire. If you know of anyone, drop me a line!

I AM A WITCH!
By Sandi Thomas
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a witch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a witch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts, or do things my own way, they call me a witch.
Being a witch entails raising my children to be strong people
Who have a solid sense of personal and social responsibility,
Who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in
And, who love and respect themselves for the beautiful beings they are.
Being a witch means that I am free to be the wonderful creature I am,
With all my own intricacies, contradictions, quirks and beauty.
Being a witch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak up against it, I am defined as a witch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone else's maid or when I act a little selfish.
I am proud to be a witch! It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined.
By Goddess, I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So, try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.
And if that makes me a witch, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it. I love this, I can call myself a witch now and not feel bad about it!
I listen to most everything but mainly today's more popular rock and hip hop/rap. My all time favorite is Metallica!
The following is a small list of some of my favorite movies: LOTR, Harry Potter 1, 2, & 3, Shrek 1 & 2, Everafter, Reign of Fire, Practical Magic, Xmen 1 & 2, and some sappy ones too. This is a small list as I am currenlty brain dead!
I'm a HUGE CSI fanatic, also love Supernatural, Ghost Whisperer, Without a Trace, Numbers, and Law & Order SVU & CI. Oh, and Mick St John on moonlight makes me weak in the knees!
Piers Anthony, Terry Goodkind, Anne Rice, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, & James Patterson to name a few authers. Also many wiccan books of course.
By far I would have to say my hero is my father. With everything he gave up when he and my biological mother divorced just to raise me, it was an incredible sacrifice and he gave so much just to raise me the best he could. I also admire many people who are heros to others for the sacrifices they make.
