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?

Life is a Journey in itself, Traveling the Road of Life is an exercise in every action we do at all times. I do Practice Alternative Spirituality, I am a member of the Ordo Templi Orientis and am heavily involoved with Occult/Hidden Aspects of the Universe through Ritualistic Rite. For the past year I have been Re-constructing a System of Sumerian Self-Initiation Rituals from the Ancient Cuneiform Texts that I have found Translations for in the English Language. I myself have performed approximately 72, 1 Hour Rituals in this Sumerian Self-Initiation Ritual Re-Construction. I deal with the Darker aspects of My Own Personal Psyche trying to Integrate the Unconscous with the Conscious Self to Individuated Self on the Path of the Process similar to the account of Inanna's Descent into the Underworld. I have and do use Ritual Magick Sex with my Wife at times, but stay firmly within our Marriage Covenant.

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

The Culture of Today was Founded by the Myth and Legend of those who Preceeded us in the Past. We Build Society according to principles our Elders have Lain the Foundation for, adapting and revising values and methods according to our Modern Circumstances and Situations to assist us in our Existence. There is nothing New Under the Sun, Old things become New, and then wax Old again"Ecclesiastes".

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 do belong to a Re-Enactment type Organization which is Alternatively Spiritual, or a Religio-Spiritual Occult Oriented Group. I actually Founded the Order called, Ordo Sacerdotalvs Templi in 2005. The Web Site can be found at:
http://ordosacerdotalvstempli.net
I also belong to the Ordo Templi Orientis Fraternal Order, and I am a Practicing Thelemite.

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

I believe Tolerance is a Necessity in such a Diverse Culture as we have here in the United States. We call the United States the Melting Pot of the World, so our ability to Accept the Rights and Freedoms of others and to allow others too Experience and Express those Freedoms is Necessary. This is the Perfect Law of Liberty, To Allow Others the Same Freedoms that we Practice Ourselves in the continuation fo our Lives.

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!

Renaissance Faire, or Medieval Festival would be appropriate, I have often visited Group Pagan Rituals through our Local Pagan Alliance, and have led group Rituals for practicing the Rite of the Sacred Pipe, as well as participated in, as well as observed various Initiatory Rites with Groups.

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

Sketching. I am usually inspired by things in Life and my Spirituality that Impress me with a feeling that I want to Express in order that I may be able to look at the Art Work and recall the emotion, feeling, and intent of the work. I have also painted one Mural I call "The Ziggurat Stepped Pyramid Temple of Babylon in our Temple area. I am presently working on the Sketching and Painting an Enochian Holy Table.

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

I do not sell my work, I Create it solely for the Purpose of my own personal Expression, and the Lust I have to Enjoy that which I Create.. If I have a work I would like others to see, I will post a picture. My Contact would be through this groups Messaging System.

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?

The questions above I have answered with as much accuracy I can, I will update as necessary.
