About Me

I'm 22. I'm single. I'm queer. I have four tattoos. A mermaid on my leg in memory of my father, a raven on my left arm, signifying death and birth, the end and the beginning, battle and strength. I have a bow and arrow above my heart to remind myself to fall in love whenever and wherever I can. I have a vesica piscis on my right arm, among other reasons, to remind myself of a trip my family took to Glastonbury seven years ago.

I'm a writer. I do archery. I dabble in art. I'm trying to teach myself to play guitar. I have three cats and a dog. I just got my first car. I will always deny that I'm a hopeless romantic. Secretly I believe in love at first sight.

I love giving gifts. Christmas is my favorite season because of that. I'm really excited about this whole thing because it means I get to make things that I wouldn't normally make. I need to keep busy and creative, and this is such a great idea! :D

Favorite Music

Dave Matthews Band. Antony and the Johnsons. Ani Difranco. Alanis Morissette. The Doors. The Rolling Stones. Jazz and Rock and jazzy rock and rocky jazz and some bluesy rock too.

Favorite Books

Anything by Oscar Wilde. Wuthering Heights. Jane Eyre. The Liar by Stephen Fry. Harry Potter, all of them. Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson. The Glass Mermaid.

Favorite Movies

Practical Magic, Innerspace, Harry Potter, The Transporter, The Italian Job, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Birdcage, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Merlin, etc.

Favorite Television

Grey's Anatomy and House. Rescue Me. The Shield. The Riches. Bones.

Favorite Crafts

Drawing, some painting, decoupage, collage, book making, assorted paper craft, some papermaking, sewing, etc.

Assorted favorites...

Colors: Purple. My room is dark and light purple. I'm also a fan of ocean blues and aqua.

Scents: Lilac, lavender, sandalwood... I don't like really strong scents as a rule, but my favorite perfume is Opium. I generally prefer simple scents, natural is best.

Teas: I like fruity tea. There's a Republic of Tea flavor that was made for winter and discontinued that I loved called Tea of Good Tidings... a black tea with juniper berries, orange peel, cranberries, cloves, rose petals, almonds, vanilla, black currants, blackberry leaves, cardamom seeds. Sweet mother of god is it good.

Animals: Crows and ravens. I simply ADORE them. I also like cats, and though they technically aren't animals, I like mermaids.

Random: I obsessively collect journals and stationary. Right now, I have too many journals and too few stationaries. I like paths. See my livejournal header for an example. I like pictures of forest paths, or nature paths of almost any kind. I'm a wandery sort of person.

Witchy Wish List (etc.)

I'm not comfortable with the commonly accepted words, for the most part. I have a very strong affinity for and bond with crows and ravens. I believe in the metaphysical properties of stones and crystals, my favorites of which are labradorite, lepidolite, moonstone and quartz variations.

I like incense, but only a few scents; sandalwood, sage, cedar, clove and Moldavite. Sometimes, patchouli or nag champa. The other scents give me a headache, especially sweet ones.

I have a tarot deck, and really, more than new decks, tips would be appreciated. It's something I want to try out, and while I have plenty of instruction books, something personal that works for you would be more meaningful. Some arrangement or something you favor.

I have runes. Or had. My cats lost three of them on me. :P Hope to find them when I clean.

Candles would be fab. Tea-lights, votives or a pillar candle are always appreciated. I could use a holders for tapers. I don't like scented candles.

I'm not big into Halloween, as is celebrated by six year old kids. I'm not too well versed in samhain, etc.

I don't have much interest in creating a shrine or an altar. What I'd be interested in are stones and crystals, the more obscure or interesting the better. Please include the name of the stone, so I can look it up. :D Candles. Incense. Herbs. Bags to be used for tarot or carting around the stones. xD
