Velana

I am 36 years old and live in Northern Ireland with my husband and pug called Maud. I am a pagan who is also interested in Wicca.

I love all kinds of music but my preference is metal.

I could spend every waking hour reading, especially horror, ghost, fairy and folklore stories and anything that is pagan, Wicca, herbalism, gardening and cooking related. I don't like chick lit. I also collect children's books, especially beautifully quirky illustrated ones. I love folklore, legends and also children's tales from different countries. I absolutely adore recipe books, both new and especially old ones from your country and even recipes that you have in your family passed down through generations.

I love movies! My favourite would be proper spooky horror movies (not slasher ones!). I also love tacky movies like Cannonball Run, quirky movies like The Royal Tenenbaums, movies like LOTR and Star Wars, anything by Tim Burton and old classic movies.

I am not a 'watch TV everyday' kinda person. I prefer to watch a whole series on Netflix such as Charmed, Buffy, The Big Bang Theory, Family Guy, and American Dad.

I don't even know where to start with crafts! I love weaving, knitting, crochet, sewing, embroidery, cross stitch and baking. I would try any craft! Therefore anything craft related is great, especially if it is something I haven't tried but you love, or maybe an old craft that I have never heard of.

I love pugs, the sea, robots, any colours, Mexican art, hot air balloons, sci-fi, bicycles, boats, tattoos, trees, flowers, stripes, spots, insects, 1950's, cooking, ships in bottles, cups and saucers, tea, Halloween, Christmas, forests, ribbons, postcards, buttons, wool, embroidery threads, beads, handmade stuff, fairy doors, pretty stamps and ink, Scandinavian items,
