Religion/Path Views
Druidess
I've a keen association with those who practice wicca...and a tendancy to rely on witchcraft at times...This does no make me an indecisive practioner, as some might think, but cunning enought to employ and unite those aspects of the two paths to my liking.
Who am I
I am first and foremost a woman, who is a young 56 married to a wonderful man who is the Laird of our Clan. He is forever my Highlander. We have 1 adult daughter and 1 teenage daughter and two adult adopted daughters. We have two grandson's with a very good scottish names. I took an early retirement as a sheriff's sergeant in 1998, to stay home with my, then 3 year old, daughter. She is in her senior year of high school and never ceases to amaze me with her high apptitude for math, history and so much more. My husband is a high Ranking officer in our Fire Department and a firefighter/paramedic/pediatric trauma nurse, too. I walk the pagan path of the Druid ,having a keen interests in this path, as I am the family historian, teller of stories and herbalistic practioner. My family came to Canada from Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland and from County Derry, Ireland and I am a second generation American. My grandmother was a McGregor and we descend from the MacGregor, MacClean and Duncan Clans.
I have a mother who is under the care of Hospice. I am a genealogical researcher; researching in the USA, Canada and the UK. My mother's family immigrated from Germany to the USA in the 1700's and were members of the Moravian Faith. I prefer my scottish roots as I am more closely connected to them. I am also a member of the NSDAR as my fifth great grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War and I've been able to prove that descendant line with documentation.
I am not ashamed of any work that I have done in my life, though people tend to shy away from me when I say that I am a retired cop. I have no connections to that part of my life. I will from time to time mention it as it relates to a story that I am telling. That part of my life is part of who I am. I do not judge people for their lifestyle or their past. Our past, whether good or bad, is a part of who we are. Dwelling on the negative aspects of our past is not healthy but learning from them is what makes us stronger.
I have high expectations of honour, trust and loyalty. I do not like people who I cannot trust as this is a clear violation of the path that I have chosen. I wish no ill to anyone, only happiness and enlightenment.

Good question... I am, quite simply....me!

Extra Details
Dislikes
People who are untruthful, take things that are not their's and who basically have no Honour. Arrogant behavior without the knowledge to deserve such arrogance. "Path Jumpers", people who jump from one path to the next based on their desire to be noticed or accepted. People who claim a heritage that they cannot prove through documentation and/or research. Anyone can say they "are" but not many can "prove" they are....
I dislike rap, country and several other types of music..

Magic dwells within the pen, the sword that cuts to the heart and bone, to show that one has been and one has been seen, never forgotten nor taken away. Power given in true light to be shared in darkness, revealing the soul as it should be.
