    About Me 31 years old, and an EMT. I hope to eventually get my Paramedic, get my field experience and qualifications I need, then become a Flight Medic. It's always been a calling of mine to take care of folks when they are sick and hurt, not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually also. I love to study religions in general, and I consider myself an eclectic pagan. I draw mainly from native american spirituality, and the old british/celtic folk magick, with a good sprinkling of eastern philosophies such as buddhism/hinduism I especially love learning about herbal medicine, the old folk remedies and other alternative medicine, learning about superstition, old wives tales and how people lived many years ago. I'm also in recovery, which is a day to day process, tough at times, yet at the same time, I feel a freedom like I've never had before. Maybe I'll tell ya about it sometime. I'm a vegetarian/aspiring vegan. I don't eat any meat of any kind, VERY little dairy or eggs. Anything anyone else wants to know, just ask. I'm pretty much an open book.

    Music Lately I've gotten pretty dark. I've been listening to a lot of industrial/gothic/EBM/New Wave/Dark Wave stuff. Mainly I've been listening to groups like Combichrist, Inkubus Sukkubus, Wumpscut, Grendel, NIN, Manson, She Wants Revenge, Zombie Girl, as well as old groups like Depeche Mode, Cure, etc. I also love country, the old hair bands, classic rock, hard rock, and 80's and 90's alternative and New Wave, all kinds of spiritual music from different religions, whatever I can connect with my Faith through, Skinny White Chick/S.J. Tucker. Oh, and I love my Grrrl music too: Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, Joan Jett, Ani DiFranco, Pink, and other 'grrrl' groups/artists
    Movies Creepy movies, Suspense movies, Cheesy vampire movies, Fantasy movies, War movies, Some Dramas, Vampire movies
    TV Jepoardy, NCIS, CSI Miami/original CSI, Survivor, Big Brother, History Channel, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Military Channel, Learning Channel, I know I'm a geek!
    Books

    Likes I like EMS, working out, recovery, watching rodeos, most kinds of music, geneology, scary movies, studying Paganism and other religions, intelligent conversation, Old-World Gothic type stuff, martial arts, history, XENA, mythology, anything in nature, ecology, activism on behalf of those who can't speak for themselves, the MIG Project http://www.migproject.com, Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle on CSI), Pauley Perrette (Abby on NCIS), Cote de Pablo (Ziva David on NCIS), vampire stuff, military ANYTHING, meteorology, storm chasing/spotting, amateur radio.
    Dislikes Stupidity, laziness, people who think they are owed something and sit on their butts and do nothing and get all the free money they want, people who have no respect for themselves or what they look like, or how they act in public. Folks who 'sag' so much they walk like they got jock itch just to keeep their pants from falling down, folks who won't talk regular English like everyone else in public. I don't care what you look like, or how you act or talk when you are at home or in your neighborhood, but when you go to the store or are otherwise out in public, act like you have some sense up in the damn head of yours! People who are too lazy to pull the heels of their shoes over the heel of their foot, they've just walked on them so long, the heel of the shoe is just mashed down. Should I go on?

    Vices in recovery, trying to work on my vices.
    Heroes Anyone in the military, police, fire, EMS, nurses, doctors, and anyone who is willing to stand up for what they believe in when it goes against the status quo, despite the possible consequences. Also anyone involved in wildlife and ecological education, preservation and conservation.

    Part 2 ~ About Your Practices ~

    7.} What is paganism to you: It's all about my relationship with the Great Spirit, the Creator, and all of creation, and my knowledge that it is a part of me and I'm a part of it, and what I can do to honor the Great Spirit/Creator and Gaia

    8.} Are you a solitary practitioner or are you part of a coven/group:  I'm solitary in my practices, but I do belong to Summerland Grove Pagan Church in Memphis, TN.  It's not a coven, but we get together and have Sabbats and celebrations, festivals and stuff.  But we are expected to practice on our own or with our covens if we happen to belong to one.

    9.} Have you been/do you go to gatherings: Yes

    9a.} If not would you like to: Yes again!

    Which Magical Order Are You In?

    You are an Elementalist. Your magic stems from the forces of nature. You might be a forest nuturing Druid, a storm-creating Weather-Wizard or any of the many Elementals, but one thing is sure-- your bond with nature is strong. You can rely heavily on nature to support yourself aesthetically or physically for it lends you both comfort and strength. Your instincts rarely fail you. You are vibrantly passionate but are sometimes carried away by your own emotions.

    Artemis, one of my Matron Goddesses



    What kind of 'witch' are you?

    You are an earth witch. You have a bit of each of the other elements in you, but still stay your solid self. You are loyal, giving, and trustworthy which unfortunately may cause people to take advantage of you at times. You draw your power from the earth around you and have great respect for Gaia/the mother, and as the earth, you too are beautiful and can make a wonderful mother.
