an introduction

[Guest guest]

My name is David, and I thank y'all for welcoming me into this group.

 

I am 49 years old, married, two children, with a small farm and four

horses in Mullica Township. I work for the Press of Atlantic City as a

writer, covering health, science, environment and technology. I also

write a series of stories called Legacies, about people who have died.

 

I am a self-described pagan, though I still seek my own path. I do not

worship, but rather revere my chosen pantheon of dieties. I feel

afinities for Hecate, Kali, Medusa and Mary Magdalene.

 

During a recent circle to discover our totem animals, I saw what I

initially misidentified as a homunculus (a tiny but otherwise

well-formed human). Actually, what I saw closer to a hairy half-human.

No idea what that means.

 

I have studied relgions of all types for many years. As a youth, I

preached Pentacostal, and planned to become an ordained minister. That

fell away, but my fascination with religion never did. I flirted with

atheism for about 2 years, but just couldn't put aside the

connectedness I feel with the rest of creation. Something is there,

but I don't yet know what. Enlightenment?

 

In my spare time, I play with the kids or make music videos for the

metal band Otep. I'll not post a link here, but anyone interested in

the band or the videos feel free to drop me an e-mail.
