I told Magickal Mari when she invited me to this group that I would be happy to join, but didn't really think I would have much time to spend here actually because I am a very, very busy activist.  Nevertheless, I like the idea of the group, so I joined.

 [ send green star]

for the invite to your group!  Looking forward to meeting everyone here and learning loads!

Errrm a little about me...36, English by birth but living in Ireland with my partner and daughter.  I don't follow any traditional religion and have no label.  I tend to lean towards the Native American ways mainly which seem to overlap with paganism in some areas.  I'm basically open.

I love animals and nature, particularly the woods and trees and enjoy living in the countryside as I do at present.  Love hearing the birds sing!

best of luck with your group Mari, may all your acorns grown into big oak trees!

Hello everyone!

Thanks for the invite & having me, Mari!

A little bit about me... 

I conseder myself a very open minded christian. From what i (think) I know about the pagen views; the beiefs seem to center around respect of the earth & all it's creatures. Maybe thats all I chose to remember about the topic. ( am I far off?)

 Not that any of that matters. Especaily when it comes to a group of people comming togerther for the earths greater good!

Last thought about me...My typing stinks! I seem to be horrid at proof reading my own posts!  

 [ send green star]

thanks for the invite to join the group,here is a little about myself,i have been studying and praticing for 4 years but have also felt very close to the earth since a child.I wish everyone a wonderful day.

later,

Next I'm going to be planting Cherry Trees & lol I just planted a Banana Tree!!!! I live in a very cold climit but that is not stoping me. I've turned my kitchen into a Rainforest. I have to wait to upload more photos into my album because I have reached my limit but as soon as Care2 lets me I'll show you what I have done in my kitchen.

You all are sooo Awesome!!!!

Magickal M. I saw your post In the Goddess Experience and this is one group I would love to be involved with.

I Went thru Tree givers this AM and had a tree planted for someones Birthday, I do this for Birthdays,and Death's In my circle of Family and Friends.

Also today I am planting 2 trees in place of one that I had to cut down.. It was Dying... I hugged it blessed it and sent it on it way to its next life which I cryed  I hate to Cut Down Trees  But If I have too I replace it with 2 more... People call me to plant things in their yards because I have the green thumb so they say.. but you and I both know things are happier when they are blessed And I bless everything and ask the mother to nurture it and to take care of It..

well I guess I am rambling on

Blessed Be

and

May The light Shine on you always

Hiya everyone!

This is one of the best groupd i have seen! It makes me proud to be a pagan to know all you kind wonderful people are out there doing all of this. i only hope i can help my little bit as well.

Ok about me. i'm a 14 year old girl from northeast england, and i've been pagan/ wiccan for many years. Because of my age i can't give much money, or get out to help as much as i would like, but i do as much as i can. i will take inspiration from all you people spreading awarenes (and hugging trees lol). i've already lit a candle for the trees, and clicked to lpant a tree! If we all join together we can save Mother Earth.

Love, light and blessings, Carol.

Welcome to all the new & beautiful members of this group! That you very much for joining us here and fighting for Our Beautiful Mother Earth.

new here too, am pagan born with 5 daughters and 12 grands just

HOME AGAIN

Wales just doesn't like me,,,,last time I lost my back pack and half my clothes, among other things.....this time I was mugged and lost my hand bag, got it back minus my mobile phone, C.D. walkman three harry potter stories on C.D. card wallet and passport !!!! and my coke !!!
The holiday was great, we had several days in the Isle of Man, beautiful, wasn't enough time, so are going back,
then back to over night at liverpool ( too big a journey not to break at liverpool) on to wales, and a day trip to Dublin, also not long enough so going again. Got my welsh hat, the mugger didn't want that either thank goodness. and some story legends of the Isle of Man.
The weather was awful ofcourse the rain always knows when it is a bank holiday

Big news of course is the death of the Pope, he will be hard to replace.

pop back when I have my life together again.

Thank you, Mari, for inviting me to your group. I've been a Pagan all my life, and now I'm trying to figure out which path I'm supposed to be on. I'ma checkin it all out.

Anyway, my husband and I just purchased a house. The previous tenants were very trashy. They left the house and the yard knee-deep in trash and old cars, old refrigerators, etc. We've got it about half way cleaned up. Unfortunately, the trash pickup wants extra cash for the extra garbage. Because of the condition of the house and the yard, we got the house fairly cheap. Don't get me wrong, it's still livable. The neighbors all stop and gawk, but so far, no one has offered to help. In the far back of the property, there's alot of trees, fairly young trees and some that's been around for a while. My dear husband wants to clear out all of the very small ones and throw them away. How do I stop him? I don't even know what kind of trees they are.

I was thinking about starting a veggie garden, but, I don't know if I want to take a chance with the soil here, or get some earth boxes.

As far as the animal kingdom goes, I am studying to be a Veterinary Assistant. I'm halfway through my studies and have a 93 GPA. I am so proud of that.  I also have 3 beautiful cats named PK, Sassy, and Lucky. PK is 8 yrs. old, Sassy is 4 yrs.old, and Lucky is 3 yrs. old. I love them so much. I think I'd die without them.

Many Blessings,

Becky

A good group.  I am gentlerain, an Ovid. I have been a healer in my past lives, and seem to be following the same road in this.  I grow and use herbs and roots, and am relearning the Path with the aide of my kindred spirit, the one that knew and loved me in another time and place.  I look forward to learning and sharing.

Many Blessings

followed the link in my network messaging, that led to this wonderful group!  I am Novella, living in green, green Oregon...but does that stop me from planting more?  No!  I just put 2 ginko trees and a purple smokebush into big pots to give them a good start before planting them in the ground.  The two acres of lawn that we live on is slowly but surely being turned into a mini orchard and veggie and flower gardens.  The ceder, pine and fir forest in the back of the house is a magickal place, full of deer, elk, racoons, bobcats, and faeries.  Glad to be here.

as for me -- i walk the talk -- am currently seed collecting for spring plantings -- the list of species i am working with is here - http://ozland.angelnco.com/learn/plantinglist.html 

am in the process of replacing bird habitat by growing and planting native species to replace the weed species lantana, which happens to support 36 species of local native bird.

this is an unfunded operation on private land which is due to become public land and wildlife corridor.

Hi!  Thanks for the invitation!  Let me tell all of you a little bit about myself.  My name is Ali (pronounced as in Alley Cat).  I'm 28 years old, hispanic/latin american and female!  I am vegetarian, pagan (no specific path just of my own creation), animal rescuer, volunteer, and environmentalist.  I have a B.A. in Environmental Studies and am going to get my masters in Environmental Studies starting in Sept..  My goal is to get my PhD in Conservation Biology/Ecology and to help spread the word around the world regarding the need for conservation.  I am an avid hiker and nature lover.  I am owned my a variety of rescued animals ranging from fish, to cats, to dogs, to rats, and soon to be lizards.  I am open minded, caring, compassionate, and in need of sharing with other like minded individuals.  I look forward to cultivating many new and wonderful relationships.

Blessed be....

And thank you, Mari, for this group.

I've been at Care2 for a couple of years clicking away, but only recently began participating in groups.  I visit here regularly, but have never introduced myself. 

I'm currently a solo practitioner, though I have two ritual 'sisters' remaining from my coven.  I began with Wicca in the mid-80's, but now I feel like "Earth worshipper" describes me best.  Ecological Activism is my emphasis for the duration, I guess. 

It was inspiring to read your post about the amount of land saved through Ecology Fund.  I hooked my membership up with PSTW's now.  It helps not to feel alone in these efforts.  Also, we have succeeded in saving the Arrenjarkas old-growth forest in Sweden!  That project was completed this week.                (Chris O. did quite a lot for that cause, matching every tree sponsored for 3 weeks in June.)

Hope to get to know you all better.  Merry Meet!

I'm an old Witch from waaaaay back   Don't let the "Rev." fool you.  I'm ordained Pagan Clergy and bloody well proud of it

  religious tolerance/equality and lastly political mad womyn.

 for letting me be a part of this group. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better.

Many thanks for inviting me into this awesome place.

For the last ten years or so I have been following my own path, indeed at first I didn’t even realise that I was doing so, I just did what came naturally. It was about two years back that I first met a couple of ‘like minded’ people who opened my eyes to the wider Pagan community and what it had to offer. I still go my own way, it just feels right for me but I love meeting and learning from others. I look forward to getting to know you all and ‘picking your brains’. Hope you don’t mind.

I spent yesterday picking apples and sloes which will be used to make jelly jam and drinks and I left some nuts and grain as a ‘thank you’ offering to our feathered and furry friends for sharing their harvest. In spring I will return to the same place and plant some of the apple seeds and sloe stones that I am saving. That’s how it works for me. We need to give as well as take.

Hope to speak to you all soon.

Love and light.

long while since ive been on

 [ send green star]

 Was waiting sooooooo long for someone to invite me, so I decided what the …… and invited meself, lol

Hello, I am happy to be here. Im a not so simple pagan living in the wilderness of VA in the lovely shenandoah valley. I have been pagan since I was born. I have always had the hots for jesus so I didnt fit in too well in church. My family is pretty pagan, we live in the woods when not working or when given any free time. Our life is magic. We do not discredit anyone following other spiritual paths, whatever floats your boat. We consider ourselves a hippy family reincarnated. I personally am an artist and researcher. I love my furry friends and will have an entire farm of them in a few years. My inlaws are vets, vet tech, groomers, ect all in the animal business. I just want my homestead farm and to love my animals, they can medicate and wash them..lol. I have been called a Mudra, daughter of Venus, or similar. My path and ways are my own and "There isnt anything I cant do" is my motto.

Hello...

Thank you for the invite Mari. I don't join too many groups as I don't have a lot of time, and I refuse to join one, just so I can say I'm a member. If I'm going to be a member, I'm going to participate.

About me... pushing toward the big 6-0, happily married to a non pagan, three children from previous marriages, six grandkids, and four fur babies of the feline gender. I live in Alberta, Canada.

I am a witch and a healer. I did belong to a close knit group but then I moved away, and I've been a solitary ever since.

Mother Earth means the world to me and I am always clicking, to save something, or signing, to help a worthy cause.

I'm happy to be here and I'll help where I can.

Hugs, Elaine

Elaine!! Welcome & thankyou for joining. I love Mother Earth too very much. Don't be shy to post up ideas, healings & even Spells for her. Any help is greatly needed.

Hi I'm Sarah currently living in beautiful North Wales very much enjoying the beauty surrounding me, I wouldn't know what to say I am really, I have a lot of empathy with paganism and also I am often accused of being a witch!? but I'm just me! I enjoy nature, travelling, meeting new people, gathering people together, art & crafts reading and singing. 

I try my best to treat everyone and everything how I would like to be treated myself! and can often be heard extolling the virtues of being environmentally friendly.  I recently performed my first handfasting at the request of a couple I know, it was a beautiful day.......

Thanks for inviting me to this group! I do have a group of my own that i've been trying to get going, but with so much on my plate right now it sits dormant lol!

About me? i'm well an eclectic pagan..i love spell work and i've joined the national arbor day foundation as well and have planted several trees in my front yard and have started a garden in my back yard (green beans are alredy showin!) i'm really against pestacides and use "natural" ones as much as possible. I live in NC in an awesome rural lake community that is more woods than houses right now..i kinda hope it stays that way too!

This looks to be an awesome group and i'll donate what i can to this cause..we've only got one mother earth and we need to take care of her!

Merry Meet, everyone,

I'm not sure how I found you. I saw the link somewhere. I'm guessing, since JSun is here, that it may have been that I found the link through something he posted, or I saw the link on his page.

I'm going on and on. 

I'm glad I found you, however it happened.   for accepting me.

I would have been here sooner, but I got caught up clicking all the links I found before getting to this thread. I clicked a few things, signed a couple of petitions, and I aquired a wildglobe email acct. in the process.

My path is eclectic. I feel very much connected to bits and pieces of many spiritual....... leanings, if you will. I'm extremely concerned about the many negative things happening to our planet.

I will post as often as possible.I have to juggle my time, because I work full time, am very involved in what's happening politically in the world, the alarming rate in which so many animal species are either already extinct or well on their way, all forms of abuse, as well as environmental issues. I also make time to get to a 'fun' group that I host, as well as a couple of others. I feel it's healthy to spend some time to lighten things up on occasion, in groups where it's appropriate.

I like the idea of this group very much. I'm going to invite my friends. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Bright Blessings,
Leslie
