        I can't remember when I began this site - I think it was somewhere around junoir high.  I stayed with it until midway through highschool when eventually I found better things to do:  mainly manage another site with my artwork and poetry and actually create more artwork and poetry.  I also found cryptology, cybertheory, and anarchism much more interesting and worth my time.  After muc traveling in Europe, raving, Emma Goldman, and hacker cons later here I am - back where I started on a webpage I sincerely thought (and secretely hoped) Geocities had done away with.  I am somewhat embarassed and thrilled to see it's still here.  I suppose it's much better to take charge of and erase one's former self and as much as I'd love to hit DELETE - I can't.  Instead of deleting it I think I'll keep up with the project but being more articulate now I can better articulate just what it is I'm doing here.
        This site honestly began on evening when angst ridden and bored I turned to the computer.  At this time I began reseaching what had always been a passionate interest of mine:  The Occult and mainly witchcraft.  By the time I was 10 I had devoured, taken notes on, and memorized every encylopedia entry of anything relating to witchcraft - especially those in the Encarta Britanica.  I can only imagine my excitement if wikipedia had existed then!  This site grew out of my collection of these notes and now I'am very greateful.  AT the time when this began there were quite a few pagan database projects online.  They have since stopped.  I've gotten (though I admit I did not check my mail anywhere near regularly) various accuassations of copyright violations.  I have one thing to say:  Shut The Fuck Up.  Now, in America we function on the SPIRIT of the laws: in facist nations it's operation by the LETTER of the law.  The spirit of copyright laws is such that on much be credited for their work the actual practice is such.  Unfortunately I did not then know to keep records of where the information came from since by the time I even begun the project it was my own personal grimoire I was going off of - hundreds and hundreds of pages of notes and bad handwriting.  Those books that I do own I'm proud to say are long out of print - and so are many others.  That's why this project is so important - ensuring that people can access this information.  That's why the internet is so important:  free sharing of information.  So if you see someting that's yours by all means e-mail me and I will try to put your name on it.  Unfortunately I can't promise I'll check my e-mail any more regularly; afterall I'm not 13.  Should you feel the need to e-mail me though I will require some kind of proof if you are indeed the origianl author - or if you want to know who was please send me Author, Title, Publisher, and Year in that order.

Thank you - and thanks for supporting my site.

Personal Statement of Belief:     I believe in a higher power, at the moment I identify it only as the Goddess and God, but in a minute I could identify the god as Pan, Ra, or Dagda; or the goddess as Bride, Aphrodite, or Isis.  I believe that the Earth, and all nature is my God and Goddess; and should be cared for and respected.  I believe the God and Goddess are in fellow mankind.  I believe in karma.  And I believe in me, my judgement, and my intuition.  (Age 15)

Personal Statement of Belief Age 21:  I believe in something greater than myself.  I believe in prana - the life force.  I believe in the manipulation of the life force and the interconnectedness of all lives.  I believe in the equality of all humans.  I believe gods and goddesses are merely human names and images made up to explain, relate to, and harnass the life energy.  I believe we can get out of ourselves and directly expereience and interface with this force, this divine beat if you will, in many ways.  I believe this state of pure ecstasy is reached in tribal dance rituals like those in African and Native American religions, by meditation in Eastern religions, by substances in Western religions, and by all other methods they are the same places and the same chemical releases in our bodies.  I belive in the physciality of life and the divinity of the hundreds of molecules that make and keep us alive.

My brighest star's my inner light let it guide me.  Experience and innoncent bleed inside me.  Halluciongencs can open me or untie me.  I drift in inner space, free of time, I find a higher state of grace in my mind.  I'm beautiful.  I wasn't born to follow.  I life just for today, don't care about tomorrow.  What I've got in my head you can't buy, steal, or borrow.  I believe in live and let live.  I believe you get what you give. - Primal Scream, "Higher Than the Sun"
