"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.""The Raven", Edgar Allan Poe

Greetings and welcome to my page. I am a Gnostic spiritualist with a strong background in Wicca. People generally consider me to be weird or strange, but to me that's a compliment. I quite often have my nose in a book, studying the paranormal, spiritualism, alternative religions and the occult. One of my most passionate interests is the paranormal...the spirit world, ghosts and the afterlife, to be exact. I truly believe that there is so much more to this world than what just meets the eye. I believe that there are things in this universe that you cannot touch or see, but are very real. The spiritual world exists all around us...we have only to open our heart, mind and soul to witness its wonders.
On a more personal side, I am a happily married, gothy mom of two. I'm a computer geek and I love to play
The Sims 2, a life-simulation computer game. Another of my favorite hobbies is photography; I love to photograph cemeteries, gothic and Victorian architecture, old houses, factories, buildings, etc. (
check out my cemetery photos here). I love the Victorian era, the Renaissance period and the colonial era. I enjoy art in its many forms and quite often draw, paint, sketch and create web graphics. I write dark poetry (
read my work here) and I also like to do floral arranging and crafts. I live for the beauty in art, all things gothic, music, poetry and books, and want to someday live in England, a country I have adored all my life.
"Thrilling to think, poor child of sin! It was the dead who groaned within."
~ "The Sleeper", E.A. Poe

Gothic pictures and layouts
So let their memory be, now they have glided
Under the grave; let not their bones be parted,
For their two hearts in life were single-hearted.
- Shelley -
Thou canst no longer know or love...those pallid lips so sweet even in their silence ... - Shelley -
And thy loss I deeply feel
But the God that hath bereft me
He can all my sorrows heal.

Alter Bridge - In Loving Memory Lyrics
Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly
I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
And ill come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see
And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight cause it comforts me
Ooooo
I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
Your were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me
I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
Cause you were always there for me
You were always there waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone
And I know, you

Dropping by to say Hello!
I've been patiently waiting for a reply from my new friend, whom I just became friends with on the 19th of October...Rose Myst and I had only 1 conversation (via messaging) and discovered we had quite alot in common, and looked forward to getting to know each other's minds better, especially about our love for London England. I'm heartbroken that I never got to know her as a friend of Myspace, and I send my deepest sympathies to all of her family, God bless all of them...Tina
Baby, I want you to know that you are the best thing that ever happened or will happen to me. I wasn't ready for you to go yet. I am suppose to go first, the man goes first. I no longer live, I just exist. My life is over and I care about nothing except being with you. The pain grows with each passing day and there are no signs of letting up. I love you now and forever. Please come see me. :(

~ Ghost Hunter's Realm ~, Hello ...Hope all is well and your having a great weekend. PEACE
Thank you for visiting our Victorian Elegance page – and your friendship to it. This page is dedicated to our first film, the gothic western Shroud.
We are dedicated to creating roles for women in film that showcase the full wonder of being a girl. Hollywood has long relegated women to prostitutes, servile wives, vicious vamps, helpless girlfriends or self-obsessed and psychopathic porn stars – a childish predilection that is frequently more insulting than entertaining.
As a challenge to this common misogyny, we have recently finished Shroud. The story follows a young Dutch bride who, having suffered the loss of her beloved father, must journey to America to locate her missing husband. With her mischievous little brother in tow, she begins to unravel a 300-year old mystery and the fate of her husband. Intelligent, faithful, resourceful and impeccably dressed, she proves the old proverb: the only thing greater than the love of a wife, is the wrath of a widow.
Please visit our site over the next few weeks as new pictures, screensavers, and movie clips will be forthcoming. We hope you enjoy our work and our message and we hope to hear from each of you.
Have a great week my dear!!
Big hugs...~Tammy
