Profile Information:

Tell us of your likes and dislikes. Music? Tv/Movies? Books? What do you like to do in your spare time?
All types of music will fill my soul, and different occasions call for a different sound track. Most frequently on my stereo is heavy metal and rock, classic rock, or various folk music.
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 am not living an alternative lifestyle in terms of my living situation, but I travel to local(within 200 miles or so) faires and gatherings.
I dabble in various fetishes and I worship the Old Gods.
What does the older knowledge of legend, myth, lore, story, tale, wisdoms mean to you?
It gives me the strength to go on fighting, knowing that they are looking down on me and hopefully approving of my deeds as I try to protect the innocent, and bring justice and order into a chaotic world. It lets me see beauty and a spark life life in everything and drives me to create.
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?
The Vikings of the Great Lakes based out of Michigan.
If not of the older life styles, how tolerant are you ?
As long as nobody is trying to force their beliefs on me, and all discussions of lifestyle and religion are done in a polite manner, I have no issues or problems with anyone else.

The only group of people I am not fond of are Neo-nazis. (and yes, i realize the irony) The public tends to associate all believers in the Old Gods with fanatic racists and it takes a lot of work to convince them otherwise.
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!
My favorite Faires are smaller artisans faires, and historical reenactment groups.
Do you have any artistry, crafting, and trade… what do you create, Please share your talents with us.
A love of history and a yearning to honestly represent and honor the cultures of humans past inspires me to learn new crafts, and try to master them.

I'm currently a jack of all trades, master of none. Metal working, black smithing, welding, casting, wood carving, carpentry, sewing, scenic design & construction, stage lighting, sound design, painting, sculpting, pottery.
What is the best way to contact you if your talents are skills are desired?
The best way to get hold of me is my email, Hauskarl090@yahoo.com

From there further discussions can take place via email, over the phone, or face to face, whichever is most appropriate.
Please answer all questions honestly and openly so staff and members can get to know you. Approval of your application will be based upon your answers. Any thing else you would like to tell people?
Drago told me to.
