I'm a polytheist focused on Scottish Highland and Hebride culture, ban-fhiannaidh, Hillbilly survivalist, barbarian, writer, boss mare and all around raging, rabid, opinionated, savage alpha bitch. Any questions?

I am not the Celtic Reconstructionist you are looking for. In fact, by the current definition, I'm certainly not one at all. I also do not endorse any book about it you might see my name on or in and I certainly do not endorse anyone else whose names I might be linked to due to them. Warning: never, ever, collaborate. You're an idiot if you do....I speak as just such an idiot.

Don't expect a lot of supa speshul mystical posts here. While I do ritual and ecstatic work, I don't discuss it a whole lot, tends to lend to people saying they worked with you and are part of your path when they aren't. This doesn't mean that I don't discuss aspects of my path and spirituality, just that I tend to talk more about the practical side of the warrior path than the mystical. So, yeah, when I talk about time with my horses, dogs, in the woods (even at work), working out and all sorts of "other" stuff, I'm actually also talking about my spirituality. Because everything ties in. If you think it doesn't, you're a fucking hobbiest.

I really sort of do make my living as a ban-fhiannaidh, as well as professional fire-tender in the winter. ~;) In modern terms this is called nightwatch at a wilderness youth camp. Before that I was a reporter and photographer for a local paper, before that various other things...including my first career as a photojournalist long, long ago at a larger paper. My various interests, well, I guess you can see from my interest list and from the sites and communities here and elsewhere that I run.

My mate and I have been taking steps into homesteading, but work does get in the way of doing this as far as we would like. We have a Greyhound, used to have three, an Aussie/Border Collie cross who is our trusty farm dog and we used to have an elderly Arabian horse who made an amazing recovery from his past abuse. We have now welcomed a new PMU filly into our lives, and inherited four Mini Horses, two of which already followed my father into the next world. We raise chickens, for meat as well as eggs so if you have a problem that..... We live in some of the most beautiful woods in the world in northern New Hampshire.
