Too many to list, but here are the top few: Witchcraft, Druidism, Wizardry, Shamanism, spiritual/tribal drumming, music, writing, reading, ghost hunting/spirit communication, web/graphic design and video editing.
Music
We like almost anything except for rap, pop and country. Our favorite bands are the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Type-O-Negative, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac, the Doors, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, A Perfect Circle, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, and soooo many more!
Movies
LOTR Trilogy, Harry Potter movies, The Mists of Avalon, the Others, the Gift, the Warlock series, Practical Magic...anything magickal and anything with Merlin in it.
Television
Our favorite shows are Ghost Whisperer, Most Haunted, Ghost Hunters, Merlin, Legend Of the Seeker and Charmed. (We really wish that Charmed didn't go off the air.) We also like to watch documentaries if they deal with the paranormal, the ancient world, or Paganism.
Books
Wow...we love too many to list. Let's just say that we enjoy any well-written Pagan/Occult book. We have a library of nearly 350 of them.
Heroes
Our parents, Our brilliant children, Raymond Buckland, Oberon & Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart, Every Pagan who is proud to be Pagan..... And Jimmy Page!
As you can see, this account is owned by two people and yes, we are married. So first and foremost we do not wish to be bothered by people that are searching for a date, sex or any other sort of thing like that. We are very happily married and do not want our marriage to be ruined by idiots who do not respect our wishes. WE ARE ONLY HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS! (Sorry to be so blunt, but we know how MySpace tends to be, so we just wanted to make ourselves clear.)
Also, please do not leave obscene graphics for us when you comment...not even if they are meant to be funny. If you do, they will be deleted without notice.
So, without further ado, here is a little bit about the Magickalpair.......
About Us...Together:
Marlevane and I met seven years ago and instantly fell for one another. (Sappy, I know. But it's true.) We only dated for two months before we got married and had a daughter shortly after. Our daughter is now 8 years old and is the light of our lives.
Marlevane and I are both Pagan and have been since the day we met. It's been a beautiful journey of magick and knowledge for us both. (More about our individual magickal interests below.)
About EchoRaven:
Spiritually, I am a Pagan. I have been Pagan solidly for 9 years, but I have studying on and off for 10. When I first found Paganism, I was eclectic Wiccan. But as time moved on I soon discovered the way of the Celts was something that I could connect with on a deep level, so now I refer to myself as a Celtic Witch. (I come from Irish ancestry and this is what really sparks my interest in the Celts.)
Recently, I have taken an interest in Shamanism and now incorporate it into my spiritual path as well. I am very interested in alternative healing and am a Reiki Master/Teacher. I also love divination of all sorts and I enjoy helping people along their paths in life via divination readings.
But, my true interest lies in the psychic/spirit realms. I guess I should start out by saying that I am a proud ghost hunter/spirit investigator. The spirit realm is so fascinating to me and I strive to prove its existence nearly every day. I want to give people hope that we do indeed survive physical death and will be reunited with the ones we love when our time comes. I have gathered quite a bit of evidence over the years and hope to share it via my website soon.
In addition to being a ghost hunter, I am also a medium and bring this part of myself into my investigations. (I think that the scientific and the spiritual go hand in hand.) I have had mediumistic abilities since a very early age and I come from a long line of psychic woman. Of course, I still have to practice very hard to fine-tune my abilities but the challenge of it makes me feel so alive and complete.
I have studied Wicca, The Celts, Faery Lore, Dragon Magick, Druidry, Celtic-Shamanism, High Magic, Wizardry, Hermetic Magick and Witchcraft. I consider myself to be more along the lines of a Wizard rather than a Witch, although I would accept either term. My form of magick is a bit on the Greyer side of the spectrum.
My patron God & Goddess is Kernunnos and Cerridwen although I feel I am mostly on the Celtic path, I practice many forms of magick. I believe strongly in Karma, polytheism and re-incarnation.
I have been pagan for over 10 years and I was Wiccan for 8 of those years. I then branched out to other forms of paganism as I continue to study everything I can get my hands on to read; including some Christian writings (for more knowledge) and the Kabbalah. I was force-fed & brain washed pentecostal when I was younger (like most Christian households do), until the age of 11 when I could have a say so in my own personal beliefs. You can view my thoughts about Christianity on the blog.
I am a student and a member of Greyschool Of Wizardry, and a first degree Correllian Wicca and lifetime member of the Witchschool.com. I received 3rd degree Wiccan status and training with Dragon Clan Circle (Eclectic Wiccan Coven), and I was High Priest of Triple Spiral Grove, a Celtic Pagan Grove, when it was functioning.
I am also a Reiki Master-Teacher and practice several different forms of healing techniques.I also practice Homeopathy and Holistic healing as much as time allows.
I am currently working on my associates degree in Computer Science. In more details, it is in the IT field of Computer Network security from Ivy-Tech. I am currently in my second year. I work as a remote computer technician for a major Telephone/DSL ISP company.
Some of my favorite books are:
Bucklands Book of Saxon Witchcraft, Nocturnal Witchcraft, DruidCraft, Bonewit's guide to Druidism,
Grimoire & Companion for Apprentice Wizard, Celtic Tree Mysteries,
The lost books of Meryln & the 21 lessons of Meryln, The Book of Solomon's Magick and so many more...
*Some of you may recognize me from my early band days (longer hair & a bud light ---lol). I used to play Bass guitar for Circle of Illusions (Mindloss) - and later Lead guitar for Detour Band. Of course there were several others in between, but these two were most notable for me. I don't play on stage any more. I prefer to stay at home and play the acoustic guitar; along with my talented family.
I may post some old band pictures sometime soon, so we can all laugh at them.
Who I'd like to meet:
That's a pretty tough question to answer because we already have many friends and family that fulfill our lives.
Marlevane would like to meet Type-O-Negative band and Led Zeppelin members. Pagan people would be: Oberon Zell Ravenheart, Rev. Don Lewis and Carroll "Poke" Runyon (OTA)
