Hello!

[MercysFallen]

Hi all,
I just joined a few moments ago. I have visited here from time to time but never had the nerve to join. I belonged to one Pagan group but it seemed like there was more fighting going on then chatting.
Anyway My name is Karen I often go by Ren on the Internet. I have been practicing Traditional Witchcraft & studying Voodoo (Although I don't practice)
And folk magic since 1994.
I guess you can describe my interest as Gothic. But by no means am I a teenager I will be turning 31 in September! I don't connect my interest with my beliefs I love writing Gothic stories. I have been also writing some modern Pagan fiction. I use to have some stories on the Internet on a website but when I saw it appear on other sites and I was not credited I promptly took it down.
Sorry I'm rambling off now.
I have been criticized for being a bit more "Ancient" in my beliefs.
I don't frown on Animal sacrifice in rituals (When the animal is feasted on)
I'm in no way a vegitarian/Vegan. I also embrace all aspects of life & nature Light and dark. The only reason I mentioned it is because I have been banned from less Pagan and more New age message board groups.
Anyway I don't seem to see that here. Everyone is pretty open and excepting just by the different categories and topics!

Well, that's it for now.

Slainte,
Ren

For everyone here new
i write this peom for you
to explain you one big rule
that we all enjoy as cool

mysticwicks means respect
and we all try stick to that
we keep the language children safe
and try not to misbehave

foul language we dont like
but even more we would dislike
prostelizing however thats spelled

you can reason and discuss
but dont try to cause a fuss
or you might even get expelled

but there is more to mysticwicks
than just a rule to which we'd stick
its a family place for many here
who keep coming back year after year

and we have one cool treasure
thats causing lots of pleasure
without any more drama
i will explain, the mysticwicks karma

look bellow at the posting field
see "touch karma" among the links
this way you can express
disagreement or agreements bless

simpy choose the options
give karma means "agree"
taketh on the other hand
means you strongly disagree

your user control panel
will show you pretty clear
whether you are a "accepted channel"
or rather one for problems to steer

underneath your user name
green dots will show approval
if the red spots are more, well mate
means you harvested wild disapproval

if you find there is a grey dot
dont belive in something bad
it means someone who yet cannot
did give you good karma, albeit they cant

cause to be able to play
50 posts you have to have made
but after that you are allowed
to make 50 pokes a day without
repeating the same post ever though
nor touch one person unless 10 "pokes"
are between the poking spree
come join the party
as are we

I look forward to seeing more of your posts on the boards. Its a shame to hear you've been banned from other boards for unjust reasons.
