Hey all - I am primarily Christian by tradition (though a heretic by any hierarchical standard) and began casting spells and setting up altars as a fairly young and decidedly animistic child. I belong to no coven, have no direct heritage in any particular Wiccan or Pagan tradition. I study theology, including Christian, Buddhist and Toltec Shamanism on a sort of regular basis - though I am admittedly a dilettante. I have either a wickedly powerful guardian angel, or just tend to be stupidly lucky - as I am the archetypical fool - always wandering on the cliff side, yet never plunging into the abyss. I've been blessed since I was around 7 years old with the occasional and quite direct experience of ... I guess we could say "Divine". (And as this has most happened in Christian churches, I will stick to my cultural tradition in this.).

I work candles, poppets, kitchen magicks - often work with crafts (painting drawing) - and do a lot of written works, as these always seem to work best with me. I have no inclination to mineral working. I am undisciplined - or I would sit meditation daily as I have found daily prayer and meditation to be extraordinarily useful - but I am too damn lazy.

So - that's mostly all about me. I am here because I occasionally run into ideas, objects, and am looking for people who ARE educated in these things (rather than running - as I do - off pure instinct and imagination.).

Thanks!
