Moon's Daughter

I am 29 years old (soon to be 30) and ha've been studying the Craft on and off for almost 15 years. I got serious about studying about 6 years ago, and have been practicing for just over a year now.  I don't feel that I chose this path, not really... it's more like it chose me...

I am very eclectic, and solitary, as much by choice as by necessity. I have leanings towards the Celtic, Norse, and Native American pantheons, with a "patron" from each. I have several  totems: white wolf, golden eagle, deer, and mantis. I practice because this is the life that feels right.  It's really that simple.

I believe that the most important things are to "always, in any situation, choose that which does the most good, or the least harm" and, "remember balance"

I am concentrating on herbalism, runes, religious debate, web-pages (right now, these are mostly just hobbies, but I am planning to go back to school to study herbalism, psychology, and religious history, in the near future)

I am an Eclectic Pagan, leaning on Wicca Shamanism. I am  25.  I have been Pagan for 8 years.  I am a member of a localcoven here in CIncinnati, Ohio. I joined find the path to learn from others points of views and maybe even help enlightened some newcomers.

I am 43 and have been practicing for 4 months now, but studying on and off for most of my life.I chose this because I finally realized this is where I belong and feel the happiest.  I have been pulled toward it all my life. I can remember back to age of three and have colored balls come out of my closet in the dark and dance  around the room for me. Knowing things before other people. I thought everyone   did this, and   talked about it, then people thought I was strange. So I stopped  talking to  them about it. I remember: seeing little people in my room when I was about 10; having an  invisible cat come to me when I was sick; and staying for the  company, having  someone turn up the heat when I am cold and no one being home but me; something invisible holding the car I was trying to leave in, then let go after a car and the police following went by in a high speed  chase; and so much more.
I have 3 totems: the first is a Deer, then a Raven, and a Wolf. They all be different thing to me and are different parts of me.
Favourite Things: Studying and learning my path, reading, quilting, all crafts, genealogy

Personal Statement:  I will treat you with respect if you treat me with respect.  Don't lead me, don't follow me, stand beside me and be my friend

Concentrations: Candle Magick, Shamanism, Faerie Wicca.
Things that I do: Astral travel, psychic visions,
Things I am good at: Listening to people, and helping

I am 19 years old and have been practicing the craft for about two or three years now.  The more I read about it, the more it made sense to me. Over all, it didn't change my basic make-up because it was merely an extension of what I already believed. I loved it from the moment I tried it and I knew this was my path. I am a Solitary Eclectic at the moment with specialties in the Egyptian pantheon.
I practice because I love it and it makes me feel like a wholeperson I have a totem, a  White tiger (also my spirit guide), and several spirit animals: lion, cheetah, dragon, phoenix, and unicorn.

Personal statement: Ankh if you love Anubis! :)
favorite things: triangles, pyramids, music, anime, manga,comics, movies, and Wicca
Concentrations: Angels, communicating with the other planes, channeling, Egyptian myths and pantheon, fire element,astrology, Tarot, telepathy, telekinesis, spirit guides, totems, andMythology ingeneral

I haven't found my Craft name yet. I'm 17 years old. I've been studying the Craft for about 7 or 8 months now, and have  always had an  interest in it.  I'm solitary, and I guess I'm eclectic, because  I study a little about everything.  I'm very interested in Celtic/Irish  lore though.  I find dream interpretation interesting, as well  as candle magick.

I am 24 years old and have been practicing the craft since November. I am a solitary wittan (the irish pagan path). I have a familiar (my black cat) & she  has been present at most of my rituals or meditation times.  She ate my  cookies that I was using in my Yule ritual!  (LOL!)

Concentrations: I am always trying to study more when I can.  I meditate mostly by music, whatever I feel like listening to at the time  (I listen   to mostly techo/ambient like music but I do listen to celtic  music as  well!)

Favorite quote: I haven't been the same since that house fell on my  sister!!

I am  26 years old and have you been  practicing the craft for 5 years.  It just evolved into my path. I'm a solitary, although I do have Pagan friends with whom I do social things - and lately, we've been getting together on full and newmoons - not to 'celebrate' them per se - just to go up the top of a bighill, or out to
a deserted beach, and just appreciate the wonder and beauty of it all.  I describe myself as a Wiccan/Shamanic/Generic Pagan, whose path keeps changing every time she turns her back, because that's reallyhow it seems to happen for me.  I think that, due to the way I am, I will never find ' the right path' for me - or rather, that ' the right path for me' is one that changes and evolves as I do - just because something is no longer right for me, doesn't mean it never was ;-)  Part of me envies those who have found
and settled into a path that is right for them - the rest of me just loves the spiritual adventure I'm launching myself into every day ;-)
I'm interested in studying all aspects of intuitive and psychic work - I'm currently trying to teach myself to see auras and energy fields.  I can work with them at the moment (usually alongside someone who knows what they're doing)- channeling energy for healing and re-energising myself from the earth and sky - but I
always feel like I'm working blind, with no kind of feedback from any of my senses as to how I'm going.  I'm also trying to do somedreamwork - but I'm shockingly bad at remembering to write my dreams down in the morning.  I guess I can call myself a herbwitch also - I have my herb garden and love dispensing herbal healing advice to friends and family (I have actually studied a few courses in herbal fundamentals, plus read a huge number of books, so while I couldn't set myself up as a registered herbalist, I'm happy to treat myself and my nearest and dearest).
What else...  I try to meditate regularly - but a little like with the dreamwork - mundane life keeps intervening - I know it's a fairly feeble excuse - and eventually I'll get disciplined about it.  I guess I'd call myself moderately empathic also - although, unlike many that I've heard from, I've learned to construct very tight shields that will usually keep it under control (although they have a habit of dying on me when Idon't give
myself the required sleep and/or food resources to keep mehealthy - being around me when they do die, and I suddenly go crowd phobic is apparently a somewhat disturbing experience.
I'm an avid user of candlemagic as well - both ritually, and just because I love watching candles burn. I'll also use essential oils, both aromatheripically, and magically (for example, when I'm studying, I'll burn my own blend of rosemary, basil and blackpepper for purely mundane reasons - when I want to dream, I'll putsandalwood on my pillow for magical ones.  Granted, the line is blurred, but I'm not too
worried ;-)
If I had to say the one thing I can offer to the group, it's academic knowledge of crystals, essential oils, herbs and myths and legends.  I read a great deal, and take in a lot.  I'm know that I'm weak,however, in the
practice of the craft - experiential knowledge - and this is what I really want to strengthen myself in.
