Hello,
Welcome to my little experiment. I need to keep a journal and forget too often to update my written journal. Since I spend a good deal of time online, I thought a livejournal would help me keep up with my journal on a daily basis better than trying to keep my eyes open in bed as the last thing I do each day. I was 42 when I started this journal, a Taurus, a Gaian Witch, a 2nd* Alexandrian Wiccan Initiate. I am currently in a monogamous relationship of just over a year. I am bisexual, but that doesn't have a thing to do with monogamy now does it? I love history, gardening, especially herb gardening, I love to read and read everything I get my hands on, even the dictionary in a pinch. Reading/learning is by far my favorite pastime, but I also like to make beaded jewelry, make my own incense and perfume, spin my own yarn and knit things and generally try to become a better herbalist than I was last year, so I'm a work in process on most fronts.
I have a little garden...and that's the cheapest therapy known! There's just something truly satisfying about growing things. Not to mention the satisfaction of the resounding "thunk" of a hoe sinking into a bag of manure. It keeps me from killing people.
I have two cats, Meezer (Siamese to those who aren't owned by such) Mem and a long-haired black female named Belladonna.
I am an Alexandrian Witch. If you are Family, please make up your own mind, as the 'legends' are only half true, and there is always more to the story than the one side. Would that I truly had the power I have been credited. That said, I love my path and our ways, but I abhor the politics associated with it. I stay away from certain people, and away from the people who associate themselves with said people. For the past little while I've been on a self-imposed sabbatical. Not sure if it's over, but I'm still here.
I am originally from Memphis, TN but I love where I am. I have the best circle of friends, chosen family, and Family there is.
I think I am a pretty interesting person...so I made this live journal thingy. Enjoy!
