Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome.

Name: Physical: Joanna Hendrdicks, Magickal: Phaedra Metsa (background on this further down.)

Path: Wicca (for all of eight months)

Likes: Reading, swimming, rain, outdoors, proper spelling and grammer even though I suck at it, all water, small spaces, some hights as long as I'm not standing on a crumbling cliff, mentors as long as they aren't too bossy, sitting in the trees or by a brooke when a bird comes to sit on me (this has actually happend and it was SO cool! biggrin ), moonlight streaming through a window or onto my face, freah air, 90 degree weather, writing, Fantasy reading, archery, (more to come as I think of it.)

Dislikes: My bad spelling, people that think they can diss a good writer just because he/she isn't there to defend themselves, the fact that most people hate me for no good reason (not an exageration.), emnotional pain, biggtary, (more to come as I tihnk of it).

Details: I'm 14 and just started learning Wicca about eight months ago. I would like to learn as much as I can but I have to keep everything secret from my parents who are strong christians. I would love to have a mentor in Colorado (where I live) who I could actually meet with, I learn things better that way. Oh, and my other account got banned for something I didn't do, Arya Elda was the name, and I'm trying to fix it.

About my magick name: I bought a book of names that would be good for that purpose and I really liked Phaedra and Metsa so I decided to use Phaedra as a kind of first name and Metsa as a kind of last name. Phaedra is greek, she was a goddess, I don't like her background much, but I didn't decide that. (She did it with her son and then told her husband that her son molested her, her son got hung or excuted. In some versions she kills herself and in others she lives.) and Metsa is Finnish and means forest, I've always liked the woods and trees so I thought it would be approite. It took me almost three weeks to decide on it.

I think that's all. I know it's a lot to read but that's not even the half of it. If you want to chat or be my mentor please pm me as I won't be checking this or anything else very often because of my parents. Or you could e-mail me at arya.elda@yahoo.com

Welcome!! *hugs* I live in Texas so I can't really be of much help mentor-wise, but it's great to have you here 3nodding

Your Knuffel thingy is really cute!! 3nodding

Cool, thanks all!

Yay for Idaho peoples. (I live out in Garden City.)

Now, to the introduction thingie...
The names Eddie, Edward, or anything of the sort, other then Ed.

Religion wise, I've somewhat recently converted to Asatru.
Before that I was technically a Christian, but after much thought and research of other paths... I decided it wasn't for me (More or less being forced to worship something all powerful, told how to lead my every day life... not for me at all.) . I've got nothing against anyone, of any religion, be it a mainstream religion, such as Christianity, Judaism, or even Wicca (Yes, Wicca is a mainstream religion now, message me, and I'll tell you why I believe that.), or any of the smaller, but no less important religions.

For the most part, I'm a rather easy going guy. It takes a lot to offend me, and even more to anger me... Though when I do get angry, well, Its not generally fun to be the person who angered me. (Because unlike my Avatar, I'm actually a rather strong guy, albeit a very lazy one..). Though I am always quick to calm down and regain my composure.


Anyway, before I start rambling any worse then I already have, I'll end the post.
Be safe everyone.

Thanks, and I'm glad to be here.

Hopefully I'll have some more free time soon, and can start reading, and posting some ideas and thoughts. biggrin

Of course we want to know whee
