About Me

I'm an apprenticing tattooist and a beginning graphic artist. I recently relocated to the east coast with my partner, who is a Horror and Erotic Romance Author. I've had a life-long fascination with the paranormal and a need to search for the "truth". I've also been active in the occult and paganism for a number of years. I was an ordained Wiccan Priest in one of Canada's only government-recognized pagan organizations. Currently, I am solitary and prefer the term Pagan or Heathen, as my spirituality has grown past any Dogma. My true love, however, has always been Metal; it permeates my being. I am also an aspiring vocalist...
