Hi I am Debbie, I live in NW Indiana & I am a security guard.

I am also a beginner to Paganism. This group has helped me alomg that path.

I'm from England but living in Vancouver, where I work as an artist's model.

My favourite Pagan author has to be Starhawk, although Charles de Lint is my favourite author, and if you haven't read any of his wonderful urban fantasies  you really should, as they all have a mystical/pagan element to them.

Hope all the group are enjoying the first few days of Spring as we are in Canada.

Blessings

Hi, I'm Margaret.  I don't get to post much, but read when I can.  I'm in New Jersey, work full time as a paralegal, go to college part time majoring in Mathematics, minoring in Philosophy.  Some day, when I graduate, I plan to teach - probably at the Junior High level.

I was born and raised Presbyterian and was very active in the church up until May 2000 (Christian Education, Mission Council, Youth Ministry, etc).  That's when I had a mystical experience that changed my life.  Then, in August 2000 I found Beliefnet.com and took the test for the first time... came up 100% NeoPagan!  I had no clue what a Pagan was, so I started reading everything I could about Paganism as well as other relegions.  I joined the Unitarian Universalist church.

Today, my beliefs are a mixture of Paganism, Shamanism, Animism, Mystacism, Buddhism, and Pantheism.

Oh, I also have two grown daughters, two grandchildren, one grandchild on the way, a son-in-law... and five cats.

Charlemagne from

I am only 17, and haven't been "officially" pagan or any such label for very long, but have always been a strange wild child of the woods.

I love school, but I'm graduating this year. I love my classes: art, sociology, drama, biology. Art is my spiritual, creativity. Through it I can express so many feelings, and that perfect understanding of this world and others that I'm sure we all feel sometimes. Some things just cannot be described with only words.

I don't know how to describe my personality. It seems as though I'm only made up of perpetualy changing emotions and feelings, like a stream which can be perfectly smooth and unruffled, or rushy and foamy, or quiet and bubbly, or anything in between, depending on the surroundings. I feel that I am nothing more than my emotions and feelings. I can be completely silent and solitary, or five minutes later I am impulsive and talkative, or from being brittle and tough to feminine and soft. or lots of different things.

I am cute but modest, love people but hate mankind, independent yet social, so simple yet complex.

I guess you could say I am an oxymoran, but I'd never thought of it that way before.

I don't really fit any normal mold. My spirituality is my own, and comes from the natural world around me, but I relate to many things found here and other witchcraft stuff. I travel through life based on my feelings and my intuition. If it feels right, it becomes a part of me. If not, I don't let it affect me.

That is the only way I can decribe myself in such a short space, and without boring you guys. I know that I, at least, never bore myself. Because I never really know how I'm going to be. So thank you for listening, and I hope I haven't jsut been babbling ineffectively!

I don't post often here, But I do read all the posts!

Hope I'm not the last to post in this thread!

I don't post often, but am an avid reader.

I'm Alli, I live in Oregon.

I have a husband I fall in love with on a daily basis.

We have a large obnoxious moody cat named Jake.

I still miss my dog very much.

I love to paint, read, nap, walk, watch sci fi.  I also love dogs, cats, raptors, all animals.

I've been through many spiritual phases from wanting to be nun as a little girl, to born again, to crystals, to scientology, to religious science.  Obviously I'm a work in progress.  Paganism sounds interesting.  Maybe I can just mash all these things together.  Right now I find spirituality mostly in nature.

In my youth I wanted to be

 An actress

 A marine biologist

or

Cher.

Nice to meet you all!

I didn't want Alli to suffer by being the last post  

I'm a law student in NW Ohio, but live in FL...trying to decide if I can hack it .  I do like it though!!!  I seem to fall in the vast category of members who prefer to observe, but thought I'd chime up for once. 

I'm definately a reader (though I can't wait 'til I graduate so I can read fiction again!!!), but when I get my nose out of the books, I belly-dance, walk, I'm kind of an internet junkie, and I love to be outside...it was 73 today - maybe spring's here to stay??? 

Nice to see so many replies!  Hope to get to know you all a bit better!

Asatru, translated means True to the Gods. Asa – gods, tru – true.  What that means to a modern follower of Asatru is that one is “true” to the gods of the Northern European cultures of the Norse, Germanic tribes, Vikings, etc.  The same deities were brought to the Saxons by the Angles from the Continent and became the basis of the Anglo-Saxon culture.  These were the pre-Christian heathens of Europe: England, Scandinavia, Germany and Iceland. 

Some of the various names for the distinct religion are Asatru, Northern Tradition, Odinism, Forn Sed, Germanic Reconstructionism, Vanatru and Heathenism.

The goals of Heathenism is to build a healthy relationship with the Gods/Goddesses, our ancestors, spirits of the land, our families, and our communities through recognizing and celebrating holy rites of the year, holidays and daily rites and by our daily actions.

Heathenry is a polytheistic religion – we recognize and worship a large number of gods and spiritual beings.  Some of these deities are Odin (Wodan, Othinn, Wotan), Thor (Donar), Frigga (Frig), Freya (Freyja, the Frowe), Freyr (Fro Ing), Loki and others.  Among the gods there are two distinct races: the Aesir – Odin, Frigga, Thor, Tyr, etc.  The Vanir – Freya, Freyr and others.  There are also other races of giants, dwarves, wights and others.

Also highly honored are our ancestors, those who have gone before us. Especially honored are those of the ancient past who followed the pre-Christian religion of the gods/goddesses. 

Most groups are organized into what are termed Kindreds or Hearths. Usually looked upon by the members as a “family” unit. We are Valley Oak Kindred.

Many Christians ask pagans and heathens how can we live in society without the Ten Commandments or a code of Ethics. Most Asatru/Heathens strive to practice moral principles called Values or Virtues. Some list 9, some 12 but the list almost always includes most or all of the following principles:

Boldness                        Truth                        Honor

Troth                             Self-Rule                   Industriousness

Self-Reliance                 Wisdom                    Steadfastness

Tolerance                      Strength                    Generosity

Family Responsibility     Hospitality                 Moderation

Courage                        Freedom                   Loyalty

Our ancestors’ lives, honor and common sense tell us that the above ethics are what should be followed. Hope that helps.

Experimenting with fonts? I love these "hands", but they are pretty difficult to be read... Edwardian, huh? (I'm sorry, if I stole something...)

Who am I?

I think it's hard to answer this question... I'm from a Virgo family, and that means that it's possible to answer WRONG to this question, and the consequences of WRONG answers are TERRRRIBLE...

I'm a Finnish woman, a witch, 36 (in just three weeks, yay!), I'm married (to Shadow Bear), but I am not a mother. I am the carekeeper of two cats and a dog, though. I am living in Sweden right now, which is ok, but I would love to be back in Finland again. There's no place like home I am a Pagan - an own special blend just for me. I am dreaming of a life as an author, and an illustrator, it would be nice to illustrate my own books - but if I had to choose, author it is. I am an artisan right now, a weaver, but I'm allergic, and that makes the life as an active weaver impossible for me. I am very good at drawing and textile crafts, and baking, and divination... and... I'm intelligent, good at understanding things, sometimes too good, because people start yelling at me, because I "guessed" too close, curious, multi-talented, full of myself, and think I have all the rights to be LOL I would say I'm independent, equal, tolerant, and all the other qualities Dana mentioned above LOL

Shhhh, I am not officially back yet, but I was able to manage about 5 minutes of snagged computer time, so I thought I would drop in and say hi.

First, Roseflame, and all the others I co host with, please forgive my extended absence.  You all know of my own issues at hanf, nd I have been trying to help my son and his fiancee after their last ordeal.  I promise to be making it all up when I am back in full swing.

Now, who am I?  Hmmmm, that can be a little tricky.  Well, obviously, I am Rob.  Well, I am a spiritual healer/shaman, who literally walks and works with all the animas.  I am owned by both domestic and wild animals, as I heal them as well as people.  I work a lot with dreams and journeys to the spirit world.  I am both Native American and Pagan and follow both paths combined with much enthusiasm.  Because of something that happened persona un my life a long time ago, I have a knack for helping people with the not so obvious.

On a non spiritual level, I am a medical researcher.  I strive to help people defeat diseases in a more affordable way than what modrn drug companies will allow.  I use the hollistic approach as often as possible, but I have come to the realiztion it is not always possible. 

Ok, enough babbling about me, most of you know me already from around the groups.  And anything else, just ask.  I will be back as soon as things are taken care of.  Miss you all.

Much love, peace and blessings...Rob

First off... my  name's Iris. 32 years old (in 3 months) and caretaker of Tara and Britt, my dogs, Sita, Noes, Bram, Pluk and Monty, my cats. Then there are Sam & Bloesem, Hazel & Ylva, Maik & Wenda, Micky, Tamar & Sarah, Nibbit & Lara, the rabbits, 2 red eared sliders (Bor & Stoffel), Dobby the dwarf parrot, Hermione the Syrian Hamster and last, but not least... Maggie, the chinchilla.

There's also Merijn... at least I hope he's still there. He's "my" stray cat... afraid of humans... but since I've started feeding him, he's slowly started trusting me. Unfortunately... I've not seen him in the last two days... being me... I'm worried! Hope he's just out there chasing pretty girls

I'm highly sensitive, which complicates things... at times. I love reading... but I'm at my happiest just being with my animals in my garden.

Quick update here: Merijn showed himself last night... he wanted to eat! So I fed him, and added flea-meds to his food (yep, I treat him against fleas and worms too). He was back this morning. I'm relieved he's well... and grateful he let me touch him! I was just about exstatic when a couple of weeks ago, he gently licked food off my hand , ofcourse... that was after he bit my finger

I'm not Pagan and joined the group without really reading the description when I got an invite BUT I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE if it's ok!  I see many witches and wiccas and all sorts of interesting people here (was practicing, but no longer -- mother raised me as one from an early age).  I am however very spirital in nature (how could I not be with a mom like mine?!), and love discussions relating to spirituality.

I support animal welfare causes and have 1 dog myself -- a border collie.  Her spirit is more doggish than my previous irish setter dog, who was so awesome, she made people comment about her "space."

I'm an author (non-fiction) and columnist and also run 2 groups here relating to my expertise -- Get Organized group and All About Interior Decorating.  I invite all you kindred spirits to join if this interests you!

Gotta go and do my weekend hike with the dog -- I sense her impatience!

My dear friends,

I'm not pagan, but I am very broad-minded and open to anything.  Most of all, however - I must admit that I joined in because Roseflame and Janice are co-hosting, which is a "warranty" in itself that I'd enjoy this group! 

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to participate so far because I've been ill.  I'm doing slightly better now... so I hope you'll see my face more often!

I am 37 and a mother of 2 wonderful teenagers.  I am just recently seperated so lots of hugs are welcome... well they are anyways..   heeheehee.  I am pagan but still very new at it.  I am very close to the Fae and do readings with them as well as dragons.  I am currently an Administrative Assistant at a college in Northern AZ, and am still trying to get my BA.  The major keeps changing... hehehe

Blessings,

My name is Donna, I have been a member of care2 for years and have been studying the mystical path for what seems like an eternity.

I'm an eclectic Rosicrucian magician who has full belief that all magick can, and will, be explained by science. I am also Indigo.

I am an artist, I have made my own runes and Major Arcana tarot deck among other things. My current favorite medium is Adobe Photoshop... oh and clay!

I am originally from Ohio (Cleveland area) and I live in Southern TN now.

I rescued 10 cats and they all have a special place in my heart. One day I hope to have the money to have animal sanctuary, complete with staff.

Nice to meet everyone!

Bright Peace,

Donna

Hi

I'm Sharon and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up-or is it I just don't want to grow up?

I'm looking forward to reading and posting to the group- it seems like a wonderful place to spend time. I am 52, Aquarius, artist/designer/gardner/keeper of cats and stray children-most of whom are just finishing thier degrees about now. I am , for lack of a better word-a hedgewitch, no formal training yet, but I come from a very fey family. I beleive in not one, but many gods and goddeses, and I am at peace with all of them.

Well, I am Zoe Satorie.......ummm......I'm not Pagan. Actually, I'm not really anything other than a lost alien trying to get back home.

Thank you so much for the invite Roseflame. That was very kind of you. I've never been invited to a group before. I feel honored. *I tip my hat*

To everyone else: See you guys and gals around the block. I'm sure we'll all get to debate with, discuss, and laugh at one another soon. I look forward to it.

Love to all.

Firstly thankyou for the invite, I follow a spiritual path as best I can, and have an open mind to many pathways, so I am sure that I will enjoy being here with you all very much.

Every One!

thank you, for the invitation to join you all in the Garden...and especially for the huggle! 

I am not a pagan, closer perhaps to pantheist...

God is one, that is, only one substance can be granted in the universe. Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

Nature does not work with an end in view.For the eternal and infinite Being, which we call God or Nature, acts by the same necessity as that whereby it exists. . . . Therefore, as he does not exist for the sake of an end, so neither does he act for the sake of an end; of his existence and of his action there is neither origin nor end.

Within me resides Notwai`sha, the spirit of a Haudenosaunee...I am of the Earth, I breathe the Sky, I am filled with Water and in my spirit...a Fire burns with a passion...that we be filled with love, respect and compassion for all that we see and all that we can't see.

Hello everyone - thanks for the invite Roseflame!  Who am I?  Eeesh - now there's a question.  I have followed certain elements of wicca for over 30 years (I know because my first "spell" was a binding spell - and I still haven't escaped the bind).  Be VERY careful what you bring into your life. 

I'm the 47 year old mother of an 8 year old.  I live in NJ, I'm an Indigo and have followed many paths.  I am progressive politically (I've been told if I get any more open minded my brains will fall out).  I am a computer professional in the sales and marketing aspects with a high level of technical competence. 

I have a mildly sarcastic wit and am thrilled to be here!

Blessed be!

I put this info in the thread to commit to the group prayer, so I'll put it here where it belongs:

I'm Jewish, although not really a practicing one.  I believe ultimately, in one G-d, but also in the spirits of animals and trees, the spirits of the forest, I'm open to anything spiritual, and looking forward to learning about Paganism.

I guess we all wear many hats @ different times- but we are all still connected to the very same universal source regardless of what name we choose to call the (source) by. On the Physic level, we

are all cells within a bigger cell we call the earth & earth is just another cell inside the huge cosmos & within us are even smaller cells that have smaller cells thru out infinity which tells

most of us that our universe is not only large, but our inward universe is just as vast & endless...

Thanks for the invite Rose..just went through the membership.  This is just like ol' home week.  So this is where all the good people out there on C2 come to recharge their batteries.  I like it already.

I'm Ken from Barrie, Ontario Canada.  Barrie is located on the west shore of Kempenfelt Bay which is an arm off Lake Simcoe, about 50 miles north of the city of Toronto.

I have been retired for a year now and I did say retired not retarded as some of you here already think.. he he ..have a sailboat and like to get out on it now and then.  I don't think I can take all 900+ of you out at one time but you never know with all the magic that exists around us.

I hope my years of life and experience can add to the strength of this group. Like most things in life what you put into something most often comes back ten fold.  Thanks again for the invite.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this wonderful group.

And I learn something new daily or I am not awake at all, well take that back my dreams are amazing, so i learn new things daily. I do try to help anyone who comes to me for help. This group has been so instrumental in many new thoughts and ideas, that have made me grow even more; love getting here as often as possible.  And what can I say about my friend Roseflame, she is the greatest. 

  Hi to all, you are in a wonderful caring group if you are new. To my friends HI and have missed ya but I am coming back little by little.

I'm Sherry.I'm originally from Kentucky, but have traveled around this country quite a bit,and am now living in North Carolina.I see quite a few people here from many of the places I've lived-New Mexico, Bradenton Fla,Kentucky.

I love crafts,and am always trying new things.I used to love to sew, but my hands wont cooperate anymore.I sometimes make jewelry,paint,crochet,and love to work with "found" materials(things I find in nature).

I'm soon to be 42 years old(in September-yep, a Virgo),married 15 years to the love of my life,and have 5 kids,Kenny-26,Neil-20,Raichelle-14,B'Elanna-9,and Duncan-8 in sept.I also have a rat,a ferret,a hedgehog,and a chinese water dragon.I'm disabled, thanks to having a pretty bad case of Fibromyalgia.I'm currently fighting for SSI,and now waiting for an appointment with an administrative law judge,after a couple of denials.

I've always had a "thing" for nature, animals,magick,and any culture that revered them.Even though I was raised Baptist,I never felt "right" being a part of that.I've always been drawn to anything natural,be it clothing, medicine, or just being outside,under the sun,moon and stars.I have many beliefs,about reincarnation,why we're here,etc...I could never seem to find a name for it,though.Then, one day I was chatting with a friend,and telling her about my beliefs,and she laughed,saying"Honey, if that isn't Pagan, I don't know what is.You found your way to it,without even trying."That was only a few years ago,and I've spent that time learning as much as I can,but I don't follow any one particular path, only my own.So, I tend to call myself an Eclectic Pagan.

I should stop now, before I end up writing a novel.I'm glad I joined this group, all of you seem like wonderful people to get to know,and I have a feeling I will learn much here.

Hello all!  My birth name is Carol... i'm from Arizona and I am an Administrative Assistant for the Dean of Career & Technical Education.  I have been on the pagan path since June of 2004 and am learning something new about myself everyday.  I am currently going thru a divorce so my life is ever changing.  I am discovering a new me as well as my kids, so we are growing and learning together... and much happier i might add.

Hello all, and thank you, Roseflame, for the invite!  I think this is going to be my 'homie' group from looking through the threads.  What a great bunch of people you have here!  Anyway, I live in the DFW area of Texas, am a H.S. English teacher, have a carpenter husband, a just graduated daughter who won't get a job..., and a toy chihuahua named Angel.  I have been searching most of my life for answers to questions no one wanted to ask, and stumbled on Witchvox' website. The rest is history - I have so many books on spirituality and paganism that my husband has decided never to move me anywhere again...

Didn't quite know what you were getting into by inviting me - then again you probably counted on the 'nwm' not working!

Thanks for the invite, and I will try to act like an adult.

 [ send green star]

Merry Meet.  You can all me Elspeth.

Well, my profile is pretty rich with facts and photographs, so I'll just sprinkle a few details here.

I'm currently earning a B.A. with a major in Anthropology and minors in Women's Studies, Sociology, and Psychology from the University of Michigan. I have 12 credits to go, and should have a diploma by May. (It would be sooner, but I take care of a paraplegic father and a 2-year-old niece).

I have given up my work as a University T.A. and start a new job as a social events coordinator for mentally challenged adults, this autumn.

My favorite color is purple. My favorite authors lately include J.K. Rowling and Terry Pratchett. My favorite foods are dark chocolate, poori (a Punjabi hot bread), potatoes, and anything with caffeine.

Lately, I spend my evenings watching Monty Python and Farscape, or listening to audio books. If given a choice, I like to spend my days in the theatre, or at a library, or in my kitchen doing crafts while I bake up a scrummy, sweet, Irish, soda bread.

I've done more traveling this summer than ever before in my life (New Orleans, Stratford and Niagara Falls/on the Lake in Ontario, Indianapolis, and soon, D.C.)

I believe in compassion above all things, but just because I'm loving and try to be mindfull, doesn't mean I lack a wicked sense of humor, nor does it mean I lack a desire to rebel against social conventions.

Indeed, my compassionate intentions drive me to be as involved as I can be in local, national, and international social/political activism.

I believe in equality for women, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered persons, people with disabilities, people of color, and all people.

Odd facts: I have three tattoos, (naturally) red hair down to my waist, and my purse is a tie-dyed tote bag featuring the god Ganesha.

I'm rick s. .. I see myself in small case letters not from any sense of lack of self esteem. Anyone who knows me will attest to that..LOL. Rather from an evolving sense of simplicity. I'm a Buddhist/Hindu blend and have been for a lonnnnng time, they're the only faiths I truly know. I've been intensifying my practice lately, a lot of retreats and long meditation sessions. So I'm in a transition state now, changing. It will be interesting to see what comes out of it. Up until this year and for the last 12 or so years my career has revolved around death and dying. Both in paliative nursing and working with the coroner's office.. picking up the dead. Murders, suicides, and highway fatalities. I lost count of all the deaths after a hundred and that was a long time ago. So I left in february of this year in order that I could assimilate properly everything that I learned and saw in those fields. I work now as a machinist.. a sublimely normal, mundane job that allows me the freedom and the distance to meditate on all those dharma lessons from life. So who am I? Well not real sure, mostly harmless..LOL.. and a good soul.

That's me for now

Hello and merry met,

My name is Kim Martin aka in some circles "The White Wolf",  I am not your typical individual.  I am a bundle of contradictions, a question inside a riddle inside an enigma wrapped up in the mysteries of space time and reality.  I am not an egomaniac but I can not say that I am sane by societies standards.  A friend of mine described us the best,  "Kings and heros on an endless crusade just not made for this world today".  I don't fit in with any one group so hence I am a solitare.  I don't feel the need to break the silence but also feel a responseablility to help others with their problems especially the spiritual ones.  I have been a practioner for the past 30 years  (Yes I did start very early  I had to in order to protect myself from everything that was around me)  and have done extensive research on a great many different Paths.  I am planning on restarting a compilation of books that deal extensively with the "Occult".   as Pacino? said   "Welcome to my world".

Kim

Since my original post on this thread, I was offline for a year.I got back a few months ago, but only just found my way back here.Also since that post, both of my daughters have chosen the Pagan Path-one is 15, and one is 11.My pet rat, Frodo, has gone on to the rainbow bridge,and I now have a monster-puppy(4 months old and about 40 pounds) named Inuyasha(Inu is Japanese for dog, and Yasha means demon-and yes, this is after the anime character of the same name).He was supposed to be a pit/lab mix, but the older he gets, the more german shepherd and possibly akita traits are showing.He's awesome.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back, I missed my Pagan groups something fierce,as I live in NC(the buckle of the Bible Belt),and cannot practice my religion openly in my community(we have 7 churches just on my street alone-and it's only about half a mile long).

Sorry I've been gone so long, but very happy to be back-Sherry

Hello how are you all doing?  My long term goal is to teach this path to my three children.

 [ send green star]

A little boy all battered and bruised climbed a tree one day, maybe to feel safe in his own little way. He felt the warmth and comfort that nature gave, and saw how things worked in natures way, like the tall tree that stood so tall and proud, never to hate or kill it was never allowed, He saw how clouds formed to bring the rain, that gave life to one piece of grain that grow tall so creatures could feed, and in return spread more seed, He saw magic happen as new life was born, from little white eggs beautiful birds were formed, He learnt how to share and how to give and how every little creature has a right to live, Now in his 50s he understands the lands and knows nothing was ever hurt from his hands, Yes a pagan through and through, these words are my magic I give to you.

So mote it so

So mote it be
