Hello from Florida!
« on: August 19, 2014, 02:49:57 pm »
Hello everyone!

My name is Ryn and I am an ecclectic pagan with Kemetic and Celtic influences, and I have been practicing more or less my whole life. From my earliest memories, I have always been able to glimpse spirits and the Fae, hear them, and work with them. Although I have worked with the dead on a few rare occasions, I typically form bonds with living spirits more often, whether they are from other worlds, Fae, nature spirits, etc. I have worked extensively with many of them, anywhere from channeling them to meeting them astrally.

Some of the spirits I know I have worked with for over ten years now (such as Faeruun, Ahkra, or Arc). Others I only meet once, or once in a great while. I know that not all spirits are friendly, in fact some I have seen were downright malicious, and because of this I am very careful about which spirits I form a connection to.

Other than this, I have worked with stones and herbs a lot, and I am a follower of Anubis, though I also work closely with Bast, Thoth, Diana, and Artemis. The magic that I cast is very free-form and improvised, and yet I find that many of my most powerful workings were done on instinct alone.

I have done a lot of past-life recall, and while some may or may not have been in this world, the earliest one that I can remember was that of a shapeshifter in another world. Perhaps because of his preference for the canine form, I associate strongly with jackals and wolves.

I also do quite a bit of astral travel (spiritwalking), particularly to other worlds.

In my spare time, I have been working hard to grow a butterfly garden and raise butterflies from eggs, and tend to spend a lot of energy and time outdoors. :)

I can't think of what else to mention for now, but please feel free to ask any questions at all and I would be happy to answer!

-Ryn

Hi there! Welcome to TC!

I'm a newbie gardener but I've always loved the idea of having a really beautiful and lush butterfly garden. How exactly does one grow butterflies from eggs?
Maker, though the darkness comes upon me,
I shall embrace the light. I shall weather the storm.
I shall endure.
What you have created, no one can tear asunder.

Thanks Sage! I grow different kinds of plants that the butterflies lay their eggs on (called host plants), and those are the same plants that the caterpillars eat when they are young! I try to plant flowers for the adult butterflies to drink nectar from as well. So right now I am growing purple passionflower and corky passionflower for the Gulf Fritillary and Zebra Longwing eggs/caterpillars, Dutchman's Pipevine for the Polydamus Swallowtail eggs/caterpillars, and a few others. :) I just check those plants every once in awhile and I usually find little eggs right at the tips of the plant. I just make a cutting below that part of the plant, keep the cutting from drying out, and wait for the eggs to hatch and the caterpillars to start eating. Then I just throw in more leaves as they eat them up, and when they get big I put a stick in there for them to make a chrysalis on. :D
