*I mostly use this to network against horse slaughter and somewhat to connect with others on similar spiritual paths as I am, if you want to find more of my thoughts, mostly "friends-only" it's better to check my Live Journal *I'm a polytheist focused on Scottish Highland and Hebride culture, ban-fhiannaidh, Hillbilly survivalist, barbarian, writer, boss mare and all around raging, rabid, opinionated, savage alpha bitch. Any questions?
Rumor has it that I got that whole Celtic Reconstructionist thing going, being the first to actually publicly use the term to describe a spiritual path back in '92. However, I no longer identify with the term as it is now used for something different than what I meant. I in no way endorse any CR claims by anyone. Yes, I am credited on the CR FAQ but I wrote little except for most of the women warrior thing...I couldn't let them say that women were commonly warriors because it just wasn't so as much as we might wish it. Other than that, please, no, just forget any mention of me at all. I have a BA in Celtic and Women's Studies which brought about the idea that I needed something based on the actual culture and mythology than what I had been practicing, I just never should have labeled it, that seems to cause movements and I don't like movements. Someday I might go to graduate school, but life is in the way right now and at this point I'd just rather become an EMT and a horse trainer. Should the Shit Hit The Fan, these skills will be more important than knowing Old Irish...but I'll keep plugging at it on my own anyway.
I really sort of do make my living as a ban-fhiannaidh as well as professional fire-tender. ~;) Until recently I was a reporter and photographer for a local paper. My mate and I have been taking steps into homesteading, but work does get in the way of doing this as far as we would like so we mostly just raise chickens. We have a Greyhound, used to have three, an Aussie/Border Collie cross learning to be a farm dog and, until recently, an elderly Arabian horse who made an amazing recovery from his past abuse. We have now welcomed a new PMU foul into our lives in October 2007. We raise chickens, preferring Dorkings but currently we have mostly a motley crew of hybrids from a local farmer after the loss of our roosters last winter. We live in some of the most beautiful woods in the world in northern New Hampshire.
I'm an ardent anti-horse slaughter activist, so if you're pro-horse slaugther and/or use Premarin or have eaten horse meat, just move along. It's not something I'll debate in a civil manner.
Dùn Sgà than my site
As well as my personal site (which is getting overhauled), which includes some of my writing, linked above, I do a Physical Feminism blog called Championing Ourselves . I also maintain The Sarah Connor Charm School site and run a site for Pagan warrior women called Caithream and am always looking for new material for it. I run a Sacred Horse mailing list for Pagan horse enthusiasts as well.

I miss my best horse and swiftest hounds!
