Profile Information:

Movies: costume dramas, How it's Made, SF/F
Books: Yes, yes, yes. Lots.
I like to hoop and dance in my spare time. And go camping!
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 a polyamorous romanoceltic pagan. Who homeschools.
What does the older knowledge of legend, myth, lore, story, tale, wisdoms mean to you?
Archetypical myth and story are both models to live by and a mystical glimpse into the worlds of the gods.
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 currently a member of ADF druids and a statewide group called Earth Spirit Alliance. I used to participate in SCA a lot, but time,money, etc., has chopped that down for now. Also, I practice hula, which, to many people's surprise, is a deeply spiritual activity.
If not of the older life styles, how tolerant are you ?
I try to be tolerant of everyone's right to live life as they see fit. I'm not too good with blatant asshattery, though.
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've been to several Ren Faires. Texas RenFest, Scarborough Fair, Maryland RenFest, and some smaller local ones. Also I've been to some Celtic Fests and 12th Night dinners done Henry VIII style. I like them all and I have no idea how to choose. The thing I really liked about the Henry VIII style dinners was the focus on one period. I'd love to go to an all Viking event, or an Anglo-Saxon village or even something later period like a Sun King masque, with a very heavy and definite theme and time period.
Do you have any artistry, crafting, and trade… what do you create, Please share your talents with us.
I fall into that "Jill of all trades" category. But I do love to sew period costumes, anime costumes, dance costumes, accessories, and make hoops for hooping.
What is the best way to contact you if your talents are skills are desired?
for now--email me.
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?
I deleted this invite at first without even coming over to see, but something strongly told me that I should come over here. Be it intuition, random quark, my inner Juno, or my guardian angel, something gave me a shove this direction, so here I am!
Happy Tuesday to All!
