| Bio: | I live a typical Aquarian, PA Dutch-style life. I'm an artist: writer, painter, drawer, creator. I'm a seamstress, and enjoy working with alternative fashions, reconstructions, quilting, and décor--generally inspired by dark, earthy, natural, and somber fashions. I enjoy the re-construction of clothing no one wants anymore - the act of re-creating a masterpiece from forgotten cloth. Recently, weaving and natural (herbal) dyeing have become a new ventures.
My career-in-progress is Naturopathic medicine (becoming a Family primary physician while incorporating wholistic, naturopathic methods). Although I have been working closely with Naturopathic methods, manual therapies, and herbal medicines for well over a decade, my official degree is still being completed. I am currently completing a Bachelor's in Science, thereafter attending the University of Bridgeport to become a N.D., or Naturopathic Doctor. And with this, we additionally strive toward a self-sufficient Homestead for our family. This education will allow me to start a Practice on our Homestead, as well as the open up the possibilities for educating younger generations. I hope to some day become an Elder and teach the community, passing down the old ways.
I have been a practicing Earth spiritualist/Pagan since I was 13 years old. However, I have found my path home to the Old ways of my Northern Europe ancestors, Asatru. I am one of the four co-founders of Haukafell Kindred. I'm the elected Officer ("Events & Field Trips Coordinator") of our local non-profit, Pagan religious organization, Reading Pagans and Witches, and semi-active teacher in the community.
I’m a quiescent, unusual being. I enjoy having fun & learning new things. Adventure & exploring. Dancing. I enjoy being contra-distinctive, atypically educational, and spontaneous.
I'm also married. My husband revels in metal-smithing, operating his guitar, and writing (undeniably, he's journalist material, though he'll see it not). He nests in the Taurean realm...grounded, methodical, preservative, pragmatic, he’s mysterious & extraordinary. He is everything that ameliorates my Utopian, eccentric theories that would have impoverished us aeon's ago.
I’m very comradely & anomalous. Come, rest here. Partake in good conversation, warm, spiced pumpkin bread, and a mug of Tea by my Hearth... |
