About Me

I'm an amateur artist and writer with professional aspirations. What kind of art? I draw, I paint, I make 3D worlds in Mojoworld and I'm playing with other 3D programs. I make jewelry, and I'm branching out into the world of leatherworking. I write fantasy & sci-fi stories, and the occasional poetry. I go out dancing at goth clubs with my friends. Born a poor lil Virginia mountain girl, raised on venison and goat's milk, I grew up to be the mother of a wonderful little girl and wife of the most incredible man in the world. I'm going to school at Everglades University for a Bachelor of Science in Alternative Medicine.

By birth, my husband's a Guthrie, and I'm a Stewart descended from Robert the Bruce. By choice, my husband and I are clan members and crafters with the Wild Highlanders. We do educational historical shows at Highland Games up and down the east coast. He makes knives and does some leatherworking. I make jewelry.

Beliefs and Practices- Please be Detailed

As for my mystic side, I have a very deep connection with crystals and their energies. I identify with the Celtic pantheon most strongly, including Norse deities – specifically Cerridwen, Arianrhod, Freyja, and the Egyptian cat goddesses. I follow my instincts but have very little practical, solid knowledge when it comes to the technical details. I can dowse. I use the Cat People tarot deck, and Sacred Geometry oracle cards. I'm Otherkin - a fae snow leopard. I feel strong connections with the Sidhe, and with felines. I am intensely empathic, and connect easily with other realms and unseen energies. I am Celtic in origin, Druid in path, both by bloodline and in soul.

Likes

Rainy days, mountains, waterfalls. My sketchbooks. Good venison. My feline companions. My MacBook. Good science fiction. (Asimov, Clarke, Card; also things like Blade Runner)

Dislikes

I cannot abide stupid, useless, fluff-brained people. If you're not all that intelligent, at least try to have some common sense. I also despise soap operas, pointless sitcoms, and rap music. Mary-sue characters. (if you don't understand that reference, lookitup)

What Do You Expecte to Get out of This Site?

I love learning new things and meeting people that have something new to teach me. I expect to get whatever I'm meant to get from being here.
