Profile Information:

Tell us of your likes and dislikes. Music? Tv/Movies? Books? What do you like to do in your spare time?
I'm a major movie buff and a book worm. I also love nature and I like to be outside hiking or otherwise exploring. I love the mountains, and I have always felt a connection to them. I am in touch with my natural side. :) I love to write as well, and I have been told I have a wonderful way with words. Although I am not a professional, I do keep a journal, and I have compiled a cookbook for an organization I used to belong to. Currently I am doing another one for personal use as well as creating a personal Grimoire.
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 have always felt a connection to spirits, both past and present, and this led me to Paganism. For the last five years I have studied a variety of different nature-based paths, finally settling on Hedgecraft with Stregherian influences. I don't like to be restricted to just one thing, because life in general is eclectic--we're all kind of a mish-mash in all that we do and I believe spirituality should work the same way. We naturally pull a variety of beliefs from our past experiences and incorporate them into the present--I think this should be encouraged.
What does the older knowledge of legend, myth, lore, story, tale, wisdoms mean to you?
Legend, myth, lore, story, and tale are all interconnected, and I believe them to be essentially ancestral personal life experiences, and wisdom is found embedded in these personal experiences of the past. I believe that, even in fiction there is an element of truth, so these can also be learned 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?
Currently, I am taking an online class on Stregheria, which is Italian Witchcraft. I am also a member of New Order of Druids, as well as belonging to a local Pagan group in my area that meets for coffee every Sunday afternoon.
If not of the older life styles, how tolerant are you ?
I consider myself to be very tolerant. I believe people should not be judged or criticized for any reason unless they request an opinion.
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 attended a Renaissance Faire a long time ago at the age of 17 and I loved it! The period costumes were beautiful and the demonstrations on jousting and swordsmanship were amazing. If I ever get the chance, I would love to go to another one.
Do you have any artistry, crafting, and trade… what do you create, Please share your talents with us.
I'm not very artistically talented, but I do my best. I can sew, and I have been making a patchwork quilt. I have only put the squares together so far, as I don't know how to start the actual quilting process yet, but I am excited to learn! Future projects in the works include a spiritual patchwork, as well as an altar cloth and a few other smaller sewing projects--however, this is on hold until my sewing machine finds its way home (I'm an immigrant-in-process and cannot bring any of my household items into Canada yet). I'm also learning to make homemade household items--although I'm not sure if this qualifies as crafty. So far these are just for personal use, but I have thought about turning it into something more.
What is the best way to contact you if your talents are skills are desired?
Email would probably be the best way, as I am on the computer pretty much constantly throughout the day.
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?
Spirituality in general is one of my passions. I love to learn about not just my own, but others as well. I am particularly interested in anything related to nature. I have explored Druidry, Shamanism, Wicca, Asatru, Greek, Roman, Stregheria, and now Hedgecraft. I am also interested in looking at Buddhism and Hinduism in the near future.
