about me
I am a magician and seeker after truth. I am a pagan, and Thelemite. I am a traveler in time and space. I write, and read. I play and study. I like to learn and perform ritual. I am deeply conected to a few very solid friends. I am married and in love. I like trees and all things green. I am light hearted and serious. I feel, think and act. I like to explore the human experience, and hope to learn from what I have endured. I like truth, liberty, and freedom. I hate falsehood and people who fail to live by their word. I am a witch, druid and Priest. I am a friend, husband and father. I love my family and my cats. I am loyal and trustworthy. I am solid and dependable. I have been through much and expect to go through more. I love music and am now learning to make music. I love the wonders of the universe and can get lost in wondering why. I am a seeker and a knower. I am me.

RIP Arthur C. Clarke

No one did what he did as well as he did it.

He will be missed. His words will live on.

Today, I had my civil liberty violated and I am not happy about it.
I wear a pentagram with a yggdrassil around my neck I have done so for quite some time. Recently I have taken a new position at the company that I work for. For as long as I have worked for the company, I have worn pagan jewlery and it was never an issue. Now, in my new position, my supervisor's boss asked that I not wear it at work. I was taken off guard. I did not expect to hear this, as the jewelery in question has been p... read more

Today I had an experience that I have never encountered before. I found myself being witnes to a discusion about my novel. Certainly, I have participated in discusions with people that have read my book. Today was diffrent. People that have been reading my book were discussing elements of the plot. Watching the work through some of their ideas about where the story is going, as well as what they have read was really cool. The two people have just begun my book and are only a small portion int... read more

Re: We may be getting closer to Dance... (in A Song of Ice and Fire) Usually when Amazon announces a book for pre sale it is usually a safe bet.

Re: Controversial banned book.....'TEARS of THE MYSTIC RoSE' (in Green Man Tribe) I agree that all paths lead to Rome. And that the Green and the Green man can be found everywhere. That being said, I do not preach the Green Man in every Tribe I belong to. In a forum such as this, we are looking at things from a much more narrow... read more
