- 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.

True Will and the Inertia of the Universe to Assist
Greetings All,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
Over the past 10 years I have been attempting to discover more of my True Will, that essential Purpose and Direction in my Life, through Self-Discovery and Self-Knowledge, as well as through the Expression In Liberty of the True Will, or That, that I understand to be my True Will.
Back around 2000 I started feeling a Drawing, an Attraction to the Ordo Templi Orientis, O.T.O.…

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
