The Grove's Guardian...
The Thistlewitch presently resides in Edinburgh, a city that she has grown very fond of.

The Thistlewitch is currently finishing a PhD studying inflammatory cells.  After which she would like to get a real job that pays real money and values their staff.  The Thistlewitch is not sure if such a thing exists but she intends to find out.

The Thistlewitch is a Pagan with interests in Hedgewitchery and Druidry.  She is currently the President of Edinburgh University Pagan Society, which she helped to set up.  She also moderates several online pagan forums.

The Thistlewitch has an interest in Complementary Therapies, which seems to originate from a general interest in healing.  She has completed evening classes in Indian Head Massage, Aromatherapy and Massage.  She is also Reiki 1 attuned and hopes to complete her Reiki 2 soon.

The Thistlewitch also loves making things and indulging her creativity.  She makes her own jewellery, cards and stationery.

The Thistlewitch is a generally friendly creature, except when stressed, which can lead to sudden frustrated outbursts.  She is also fiercely protective of her privacy and known to get upset when this is compromised.

The Thistlewitch is loyal to her friends.  She does not take betrayal lightly and does not suffer fools gladly.

The Thistlewitch has found her Sacred King for now.  He completes her and makes her laugh when she is sad.

The Thistlewitch hates the horrors that go on everyday in the world.  She believes that humanity should be able to live together without all the petty fighting.  She continually lives in hope.....
