Profile Information:

Tell us of your likes and dislikes. Music? Tv/Movies? Books? What do you like to do in your spare time?

Read, hike, sew, drive, travel.

Are you currently living what may be considered an alternative lifestyle? For example, are you a traveling artist, practicing a non-mainstream spirituality, or part of a BDFSM lifestyle?

I'm not travelling full-time -- _yet_ -- but I hope to be on the road within the next couple of years.

What does the older knowledge of legend, myth, lore, story, tale, wisdoms mean to you?

There's a rich store of knowledge and wisdom, both, that is unfortunately mostly ignored or discounted these days. People forget where we've come from.

Do you belong to any organizations; re-enactment based (i.e. households, tribes, clans), spiritual based (i.e. covens, orders, or other pagan groups) or other? If so which ones and where?

I'm associated with several SCA households and tribes, but not directly a member of any. I tend to go my own way, though there are a lot of people who I'll travel alongside of for a time.

If not of the older life styles, how tolerant are you ?

Pretty tolerant. Don't badmouth the way I do things and I won't say anything about what you're up to. Short of actual harm, but that is the rule, isn't it?

Have you ever been to a Renaissance Faire or Medieval Fest? If so, which did you prefer? If not, which would you rather attend? Would you rather be a participant or spectator? Please relate to us your experience!

I used to go to the faires, before I found the SCA. I prefer the participation of the SCA to the actor/audience dynamic of most faires.

Do you have any artistry, crafting, and trade… what do you create, Please share your talents with us.

I find inspiration in anyone who's working from their heart in what they make. I admire fearless creativity and art. Speak your truth, even if your voice trembles.

I work with scents and oils to make all-natural soaps, oils, scrubs, and salves, many with healing properties, some that just smell nice (though treating your body well is healing all by itself).

What is the best way to contact you if your talents are skills are desired?

A seeker and writer, an herbalist and a maker. Currently living in Worcester, PA, though I move around pretty often, and will hopefully be moving around even more within the next ear or two. Called to a life on the road.
