Not your typical female in some respects, but all too typical in others. I'm opinionated and not afraid to voice those opinions, but I'm not rude, well, unless someone is rude tome first and continually. I'm a very proud pagan, and have been at heart all my life. It took living a bit to understand and come to terms with the fact that who I am is different from who others see me to be. I've faced ridicule, lectures, disappointment and even my bible thumping relatives offering to pray the demons away. WHen I sit back and look at the big picture I often seem to live a more Christian life than those bible thumpers. Being pagan doesn't mean that I worship countless evil gods or anything like they show in the movies. It simply means that I trust in the spirits of the Earth and my ancestors for the answers. Sounds crazy, eh? Only because you don't understand. :) I've studied Irish Mythology and love the colorful and heroic stories. I especially like the way they humanize the 'gods' and make them fallible. Clarification; pagans don't worship gods. In fact, the term is one we use more for outsiders than anything. Those so called gods are merely older more powerful spirits who sometimes come back in human form. Not so different from re-incarnation.I live in Scotland, and have made my home there for the last 2 yrs. Its a beautiful place and I love being there. It was my life long dream to move them when I was old and gray. I never thought I'd be there so soon in my life, or that I would be married to the most amazing man. It's good for a woman's heart to know she's loved deeply and truly for who she is. I'm the sort who loves easily, but loves deeply very rarely. I'm always looking out for others and offering a helping hand. The only thing I ever expected for my troubles was a bit of appreciation for the help and respect as a human being. I haven't always gotten that, but it doesn't change my core belief that good things come to those who wait. If after reading this monlogue you're still thinking I might pass for normal and your other friends won't laugh at you for talking to me, or even if you think my eccentricities are part of my charm just give me a holler.
