I'm about 1/8 Cherokee, but I have no way of proving it - the mother's German, so the family have a tendency to gloss over that part my father's heritage. The rest of my heritage is 1/2 German, about 1/4 Finnish and 1/8 a mixture of Scots and Irish.

I've been a cook, meat cutter, psych tech (worked both with developmentally disabled and troubled teens) and a med tech. Now disabled, occasional computer work is all I can handle, although I've recently begun to write slash (male/male) fiction.

My spiritual life, as you might guess, is pagan. My mother has always been a fundamentalist Christian, but my father was agnostic (she eventually won him over to her views) and it is to him that I owe the freedom to explore on my own. I guess I became 'pagan' when I was about 14, though I had no name for it until about 20 years later. I read about many different spiritual ideas from many sources, including sci-fi/fantasy books & included a few of these in my spiritual conglomeration, along with psychic studies. I began my formal study of paganism about 1987 as a Brit Trad Wicca - Kingstone Tradition. Due to political/personal reasons I left that after two years and started studying Gwyddon (gwih-thon), which I've only recently become dissociated with.

I'm interested in art & create background tiles as a part of that , love most kinds of music & like too well to eat. I'm a bit old-fashioned and a liberal at the same time. I can be stubborn, but will concede a point given good evidence/reason to do so.
