~Merry Meet~ The Introduction Thread

[aevalia]

Name: Aevalia
Status: Member
Path: Asatru
Likes: A lot of things and to many to list, so lets just say, I'm huge on religions, and starting school to become a Theologen.
Dislikes: Anyone not willing to listion, or at least understand other faiths, ways of life, and so forth.
Details: I was brought into the fold 3 years ago, though many years of study and finally finding the path right for me. It lead me to my Kin, or my Asatru family, I miss them a great deal down here in Texas, but I will soon be joining them again. I strive to learn and understand so I can teach others to learn and understand other faiths, walks of life, styles. Theres to much out there for people to stick themselves into and never look outside the box.
Personal Statement: I never look back twice, maybe once, but never twice. There's no point in being stuck in the past, or at least I say.  

[Mildly Narcissistic]

Name: Mildly Narcissistic (Brenna)
Status: Member
Path: Ecclectic. Worships the Celt, Roman, and Greek pantheon.
Likes: Music, writing, learning about religions, movies, reading, the list goes on.
Dislikes: Racists, narrow-minded people, dirty politics, another long list.
Details: I've been a Pagan for at least three years now. I was baptized a Christian, but I noticed how strict the rules were in that religion. For about a year, I was "finding my religion" and went through being a Buddhist and a Wiccan before deciding on Paganism. I mean, it was in my blood, being Irish. The rest of my family is Christian, so I try not to put them out of their way to celebrate many Pagan holidays, though I do celebrate Yule around Christmas and whatnot. I have no dislike for any other religion, and I try not to impose mine in the lives of those around me. I'll celebrate the holidays with my friends and family, but I pray to the Gods.
Personal Statement: Live and let live.

[Bayn Of Existence]

Name: Bayn
Status: New Guild Member
Path: I suppose I would be classified as an Ecclectic Pagan or just Ecclectic in general, usually I classify myself as Pagan and/or Wiccan, but really it's a mix of Pagan, Wicca, Divination runes/tarot/etc., Faerie, Druidism, and a bit of Hoodoo, although I'm studying other things too, like Chaos Magick, Voodoo, Shamanism, and similar variations.
Likes: Reading, Anime, Manga, Animals (Mainly felines and wolves), My laptop and all that goes with it, Video games (Especially RPGs and the Suikoden series), Drawing occasionally, Writing, Stuffed Animals, Shiny objects, Sandman and V For Vendetta Comics, Studying Paganism/Wicca/etc.,, Psychology, Studying true crime, All types of movies, Mythology, The paranormal, Spirits, Ouija Boards, Faeries, Any type of water, Blood, Flames, Alternative music... I'm going to stop now redface sweatdrop
Dislikes: Close mindedness, Racists, Inexcusable Ignorance, Limitations or being limited, and Getting Laundry bleach all over my hands gonk
Details: I never really had a religion of any sort until I decided on Paganism. I was never anything else before I decided I was interested in that. My family just isn't very religious at all. And honestly I prefer to think of my classification as Pagan or Wiccan to be more of a mindset, or lifestyle, rather than a religion. I have a boyfriend who I love very much and so sometimes it is normal for me to mention *coughrant* about him heart I have four cats, two birds, and a Betta fish with no name, and particularly one of my cats is my companion animal or familiar. And I dye the front of my hair red and I have streaks of it in the back.: I think that's about it...

[iolitefire]

Hey! Its nice to be here and see all you cool people! Thanks for having me!

Name: Iolite
Status: Member
Path: Shamanistic with Eastern influences
Likes: Stones (hence the name), animal magick, spirits (not the dead kind), learning about other faiths, rpgs, writing, reading, movies, making fun of fluffy bunnies, cheesecake, cherries, anime, mythology
Dislikes: Fluffy bunnies, Silver Ravenwolf (ewww) or anyone else who acts like a cult leader, Scientologists, Jehova Witnesses, hypocrites, Fundies of all shapes and sizes, Sponge Bob, tomatos
Details: I've been into paganism for about 7 years. I started Wiccan but quickly realized it wasn't for me so I went searching for something else. I pretty much call my beliefs shamanism since I work any magic through either myself or through spirits (I don't do Witchcraft anymore xp ) I worship several deities from all kinds of pantheons including the Hindu, Egyptian, and Japanese ones. I'm currently in college. My major is Anthropology with a minor in Art History.
Personal Statement: Eh? I dunno....oh!: If you must justify your beliefs to others so vehemently and not allow yourself to learn with an open mind, then perhaps you need to take another look at your beliefs.

[Jezehbelle]

Name: Jezehbelle or Jess.
Status: Member
Path: A non-traditional Pantheistic Pagan, Hedgewitch, with slightly Celtic and Native undertones
Likes: I love nature-walking. I love the smell of oak leaves and dirt. heart So, of course, I like gardening, and Autumn is my favorite time of year. I like cooking, FROM SCRATCH, because it relaxes me... (: And drawing.
And spiders. whee
Dislikes: I hate bulldozers. I hate that that beautiful 5 acres of land down the road from my house is now smoothed out Georgia red clay without a tree in sight. I hate big cities. I hate hunting for sport... You get the picture. mad
Details: I'm a non-traditionalist pantheist in the sense that I believe in reincarnation and an afterlife, and that I believe there is a God and Goddess, kind of like in Wicca, who are part of each other and within everything. Unlike what happens a lot in Wicca, the God and Goddess are equal to each other. I'm 20, femalion (GirlLeo), living south of Atlanta (Georgia). I've had this love of mine since I was a weetinything, given to me by my Dad and my Grandparents.
Personal Statement: Hiking is where you follow a path made by everyone else and find what everyone else has found. Find your own way and discover the world.

Nothing kills faith faster than religion.  

[artofdawn]

Name: A. Dawn Wolf
Status: Member
Path: Still searching, possibly sway more toward Neo Paganism
Likes Drawing, art, tarot, folk lore, Religious studies, comic books, anime, reading, Video Games, World of Warcraft, Renaissance Faire, Sushi, etc.
Dislikes: People who think they are all that (I'm better then you attitude), Chick Flicks, the thought of being a house wife, tomatoes, SPAM, certain Angsty personalites, chain letters, pink, being told I can't do something because I'm a girl.
Details: I am an artist with hopes of being a comic book penciler. My mother and her sister were witches - then became born again christians in the end...well maybe not my Aunt so much (she still holds onto her old ways). I'm married, born in 1983 and live in the Los Angeles area. I work at the Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire every year.
I'm still in search for my own personal path in paganism. My mother won't talk to me about her path anymore - she calls them all demonic now - so I can't follow the family path. So for now I call myself a witch, I read tarot and sometimes use my artistic ability to cast spells.
Personal Statement: Life has it's hard times - if you give up now, you'll never know what Karma might offer you.

[Kakure Basho]

Name: Kayla
Status: Newbie!
Path: Electic Pagan (Mostly Celtic and Buddhist influences...I saw someone else that had basically the same thing. Which is coolness!)
Likes: Zaru soba, sushi, reading, writing, art, photography, world cultures and religions, anime/manga, open-minded people, all animals (except roaches...*cringe*), the ocean, fall
Dislikes: close-minded people, roaches, hypocrites, messiness, people who rush
Details: Ive been a Pagan for about nine years now, although until high school started, I didnt really have a name for it. I was focused mainly on the Celtic aspect of things, but there were still pieces missing. In high school I studied Japanese language, culture, and religion...and Buddhism not only fascinated me, but I found myself in agreement with parts of it. I started mixing it in with my Celtic...erm...ness...and I came up with what I have...which fits me perfectly. ^^
Personal Statement: Embrace your inner spaz! ><
