Studying Different Spiritualities and cultures, past and present- I think it's important, no matter what faith a person is, to have an understanding of other faiths, and other world cultures, in history, and present day. Many people fear, or "don't like" what they don't know. When you take away the mystery of something, it becomes understood and more accepted.

Candle Making- I started making Hand rolled Beeswax candles from 100% beeswax honeycomb sheets a few years ago. I created a website to put my candles up for sale, but never got that off the ground. I havent made them in a hwile, but will probably start making them again soon.

 Painting- I really enjoy painting using Acrylics on Glass. SOme of my work can my seen in the pictures section of this profile. In 2008 I began painting acrylics on Canvas as well. p>

 The SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism)- This is a medeival re-enactment group. I was very active in the group for about a year and a half, until I got pregnant in May 2003. I have not been to an event since, but am dying to go when money, and time will allow.

 Karaoke- Only get to go about once a month, but when I do it's so much fun!!

Being active in the Pagan community- After the birth of my second baby in Jan, 2005, I began to get active in the pagan comminuty. I became an active member of our local group called Pasco Pagans http://www.pascopagans.org/ I had been a member of Pasco Pagans since 2003, but was not very active in the group. I was only going to a ritual here and there, and participating only on the message boards for the most part.I am glad I became an active member of the group last year, because I have forged so many great friendships. In 2005, I also joined the commitee to plan the FIRST Pagan Pride day in Pasco County, Florida. Pasco Pagan Pride day was held on 9/25/05, and turned out great! I helped with the 2nd Pagan Pride Day in 2006 also. New I am up north in Pittsburgh, and haven't been as active in the Pagan community due to time constraints. I do meet with the local group I started here on occasion for Coffee

Special Effects Make-Up- I'm barely amature,but I love watching the behind the scenes about movie special effects make-up, and am always looking up, and reading about it ... The extent of my special effects is doing everyone's make-up on Halloween,BUT.......two people I did make-up for halloween 2005 won the costume contest at the party we were at. My husband took 1st place, as a Dapper 18th century Ghost, and my friend Joey took 3rd place as a knight with a bloodied up face. The focus of his face was a large gaping cheek wound, showing teeth through it.

Gaming with My Husband - When the kids go to bed, and all the housework is done (or kinda done LOL), I like to grab a drink and some popcorn, sit down in front of the PC, and Play .. RPG's with my husband. Even though he's 39, and I'm 31, WE LOVE to immerse ourselves in a fantasy world for a little while. Questing, killing monsters, and travelling a fantasy world together is great bonding time for he and I. We talk, we laugh, and we even have stupid little arguments about looting sometimes LOL. (When we used to play Diablo II together he would ALWAYS hoard ALL the Gems LOL. We Played World of Warcraft together for a few years, but I had to quit so I would have time for other things at night. My husband has started playing Warhammer, which I have played a few times, and LOVE...but alas...I don't play that much because I have a million and one other things to do.

I also enjoy reading, drawing, taking pictures, and dabbling in paint Shop Pro. I have designed clothing and gift items as a fund raiser for Pagan Pride day.

Wow...My music tastes vary so much. I can listen to anything from Cake to NIN to the Les Miserables soundtrack....to Alice Deejay...all the way to Classical Music and Enya. I am also fond of listening to nothing but tribal drumming at times.. I am such a music lover. Music is amazing. A single song can make us feel a myraid of emotions. Music can spark instant memories, weather they are good or bad ones. Music can take us on amazing journeys around the globe.

I also enjoy listening to alot of Pagan Artists. Witchvox has a feature called Bardic Circle that pretty much Weekly showcases a different Pagan Musician. On the Bardic Circle Page you can read about Pagan Musicians, check out thier lyrics, listen to and download songs as far back as the year 2000! If you are interested in Pagan Music, I highly recomend you check out this site.

Here are some of my favorite Artists: (and yeah, I'm a dork they are in alphabetical order LOL) Oh...and I like alot of bands that alot of my friends HATE....but I love what I love...LOL

I have read sooo many books that I love. It would be too many to list here.

Some Recent Faves are: "The Circle Within" by Dianne Sylvan. I absolutly LOVE it. It is one of the few books out there that take you beyond the basics of Wicca, and go in depth on the spirituality of it.

Family Wicca & Raising Witches by Ashleen O'gaea - Two very good books on practicing Paganism with your family and children. If you are not Wiccan in your tradition, then these books can very well be adapted to fit your particular tradition. The Heart of Wicca: Wise words from a crone on the path by the late Ellen cannon Reed. - Also another very good book that I highly recomend. It's just like listening to someone sit with you and talk about thier expierences on thier path, with thier Coven. She talks about her way of doing things, and always says her way is NOT the only right way, but is how she prefers it. I didn't agree with all her points in the book, but I learned alot, and took some very wise wisdom from it.

My husband is my number one hero, but so are My mom and dad, My Uncle, and My grandparents.
