Andreya has had a fun/interesting/kick-ass weekend... now to unpack things and get to work on crafting! pouches don't make themselves ^_^ Posted at 2:49 AM Dec 20 view more
I edit and design at least a part of the work on my page, in this case the contact table, the link is from the site I had to use to make it functional, but I assembled it and the ring bullets on my lists myself. The Kayatra designs in my albums are also my own work, so it would be greatly appreciated if they remained unstolen. If you want to see more, check out my DeviantArt page.
When it comes to getting to know people... I'm best at gathering general information when given, but I'm horrible at asking specific questions because I simply never know what ones to ask ^_^U. I'm often kinda hypocrytical, it's a trait I both do and don't struggle with... but I'll be one of the first ones to say it of myself.
A few things I will say (quick notes):
-I'm eclectic and myself
-I'm pagan and proud of it
-I don't care about forcing my religion down other's throats
-Respect my faith, and I'll respect yours, life is a balance
-I'm writing my own language for my book, and for spellwork
-I love photoshop, and enjoy making tattoo and tribal-esk designs
-Sometimes I'm a little moody, usually when I'm tired
-I generally don't like people
-Yet I like to help people, that is my nature
-I like reading, sharp things, anime and dark humor
-Dunno about 'walks on the beach', but give me a good trail any day
-I have a dog, she's the sweetest thing on four legs
A few more things I will say (longer notes):
-I've always thought it was good to be straight with people... though I'm told sometimes I'm more so brutal when it comes to being honest... oops.
-I'm currently enrolled and taking classes at the Ohio College of Massotherapy, and I'm pretty happy about it. I can't wait to have my license, and I'm already told by my friends that I give very good massages.
My general luck with people can be summarized as such:
I'm not really complex, but I'm not really simple, either
If I like you, you probably won't like me.
If you like me, I probably won't like you.

Some basic details:
When I say that I'm a shadow healer, what that means is that I study healing as my primary craft, using visualizations and direction of energy according to will to ease pain, enhance natural healing rates, or repair spiritual damage. The shadow part comes that my nature as far as what one might call 'alignment' is more neutral to good, though I do hate using such stereotypcial words for it. Basically, I'm not a saint who wants to help every injured person he sees, I'll pick who I help according to whatever personal agenda I might have at the time.
I work with the following methods:
Forms-
Collect energy into an area, such as the palm of your hand, and visualize it taking a shape. The easiest form is Orbs, or energy balls, these take little concentration to create and maintain, and with practice, can be called forth quite quickly. Other forms exist depending on how you focus the energy, the image you create in your mind, and even the gestures you use to direct it. Open palms can create orbs, extended fingers can create a small blade-like shape.
Auras-
Everyone and nearly every thing has an aura, even the dead or inadamant objects like stones or even a garden tool. Basic layers in the aura can depict your mood or health and sometimes even what element you are most attuned to or what kind of abilities you might have. Directing energy into an additional layer outside of your normal aura can allow you to do things like create an aura shield or a layer of energy that rejects external spiritual matter. The latter can be used as a protection in unfriendly atmospheres, not entirely unlike a spiritual 'bug zapper'.
Fields-
Now Fields are actually quite similar to auras, in fact, most fields when projected from an item or a person are intially auras; they are simple extended out to affect a larger-scale area or 'field'. Methods like this can be particularlly effective at tasks such as calming a small group of people by extending a peaceful energy into the room to trickle into their auras and spirits. This is not entirely unlike a more concentrated practice of the concept of 'setting a mood' or atmosphere.
Barriers-
Here's a concept that most any level of craft-user can relate to. A barrier is many things and many forms, though in my personal experience they often manifest as a condensed space of energy. An example, would be focusing a white/protective energy into a small circular 'plate' in front of you. By doing this, you have just created a small energy shield. Now take this concept, and focus on the image of an orb forming around you, this is a full-area barrier. Simple enough, don't you think?
Projection-
This is basically the same concept as an astral projection... although I simply say 'projection' to emphasize the simpler nature of this practice. This one is a little harder to maintain, but involves less meditation. Basically, picture as clear an image as you can of your destination, or any object or person there (in all my uses of this method, it has been to do distance healing on my cousin in another state, who willing acted as a beacon) and project yourself in a simple form like a haze or maybe an animal. This method is less visual and more prescense and empathy.
Raidance-
Similar to the use of auras and fields, this is possibly one of the simplest hand magicks next to Orbs. Focus on the energy around something, such as a fingertip, visualize energy gathering at that point and radiating out like light from a bulb or a mist from a piece of dry ice. (This method is what I use most often for healing, though sometimes I use a laying of hands, to be honest, because I'm too lazy to hold my hands up.)
These are the basic methods used by visualizing, designating/'programming' and directing energy. These methods are sometimes also called "Hand Magick" or "Snap Magick" because they are often quick methods done without the use of extensive or complex rituals. While they are certainly effective with practice, they are not as good as rituals for events such as blessings or concencrations.
To most, this probably sounds crazy, and if you think that, I don't blame you, this isn't an often recognized style of magick, but it's certainly not any less real or potent. So why do I so openly post about these things and chance ridicule? Very simple really. This is my style, my sole remainging love in this life, and I know in every fiber of my heart and spark of my soul that this is real. If someone doesn't approve of or like the ideas I study, I don't care, I'm not trying to make people study what I do, I simply am as I am, and wish to live as such. If someone can't accept me as I am, then I don't need them nor do I want them in my life. Creation gave us a free will to chose as we wish to live, and the choice to respect that not everyone may be like us or feel or think or believe as we do or would like them to. People are themselves, maybe if we would learn to accept that, this world might be a little more peaceful.
Well duh. That book is fucking retarded. Like honestly. I want to burn the book, the movie and the ENTIRE CONCEPT of both the book and movie. Though that's probably impossible because the last time someone burned a concept was well...Never. -. -
But yeah. You don't want to get me started on an "I hate twilight rant" because it will be REAAAAALLY fucking long.
What's up xxx sexy beastie you. Just wanted to say hey and Happy thanksgiving. I hope you had a good goofy one. Oh and If I forget happy Yule too. Love ya. TTFN

MRI turned out ok... but I got laid off, and the stresses are just freaking wonderful. I hope Isis finally has some good changes in store for me... thanks for your help btw
Howdy there =) Randomness but i think it's cool that you said on your main page that people can keep to themselves if they try to convert you to some other religion. I know there's gonna be people close to me 'shunning' me away but i am prepared and i know i'll be stronger in this religion and plus i am in love with Nature :::smiles:::
