Thanks Holly

Call me Raven, I only add the Pagan because someone has ALWAYS taken Raven but then again, it's my fault for choosing the name eh?

Raven

Oh my, that's just classic!

Hello PCU, looks like a mad place to be

Cottonelle, that is one hell of a story!

I've not been tasered, the only people who can legally carry them here are the police.

I have chronic insomnia. The best thing for it is to go to bed at a set time each night. If you vary the time you will never get your head sorted. The first week or so is really boring. You spend a lot of time looking at the ceiling. But after a while you will find you're going to sleep faster.

It depends on the woman and the circumstances. I've lived (briefly!) with an agressive woman in the worst sense so the word does hold negative connotations for me.

Assertive, hell yeah! Last thing I want is a milksop doormat. I want someone with their own mind who isn't afraid to show it, someone who can be a partner not a servant and a partner has to be equal.

Yeah, in the UK it's generally called Heathenry but in the States it's Asatru. Same horse, different jockey

I didn't see it before, but you look fabulous!

Egg custard tart (it's probably a British thing...)

How do!?

I'll be celebrating with my local group. We have a small Henge we created on some farmland run by one of our members and we gather there for a 3-ply Pagan ritual - Heathen, Wiccan and Druid aspects are involved to represent the nature of our group. (It's amazing we all get along but we manage!)

Welcome to the forum

Welcome! I'm new here myself, seems a friendly place

Actually, the dates of the old festivals were not fixed, they depended on the turning of the seasons and the positions of the sun and moon. Solstice and equinox dates vary by a few days each year, which is one of the reasons the old stone circles were set up - they could show when the festival was coming. The other festivals were more related to what was actually happening in the environment - the harvest or first lambing, for example.

Yes, the Christians used these same festivals, but then again, hasn't everyone?

There's no Heathens in that list! Where are all the (other) axe-wielding, rune-carving, mead-drinking Heathens?

I've only been carving just under a year and I mainly do woodspirits. What is it you were looking for?

Nah, but there would be wood everywhere! Especially when I'm carving

Thanks for the welcomes :)

A Raven and a writing desk? Well, I can sit at a writing desk but the desk can't sit at me As for Carmen Sandiego, she was here last week, you just missed her!

Raven

Carving is probably my favourite passtime, I started about a year ago and woodspirits are what I carve the most. Here are a couple of my recent ones :) (Click the thumbnails for larger pics)



Comments welcome :)

Hi, I'm Raven. I'm 39, I enjoy woodcarving, reading and leatherwork. I really don't know what to put on sites like this - ask me a question someone!
