Hello from A-Lethe-ia

[AletheiaRivers]

Just a brief intro to say hello. :wave:

My name is aletheia (online anyway). The word "aletheia" is Greek and means "uncovering" or "unforgetting." It also means "truth." Google "The River Lethe" for some interesting background on the mythology of the word.

I'm 38, married, no kids.

My spiritual path is pretty eclectic and includes shades of neopaganism, hermeticism, neoplatonism, taoism and esoteric Christianity (with just a touch of gnosticism). Overall I'd say "perennialist" describes my spiritual view pretty well.

I love philosophy, mythology, comparative religion, reading, gardening, bugs, cats and other critters.

I haven't lurked much, but what little of the board I've seen seems amazing, so I decided to jump right in!

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

Are you a rock-hound or do you love gems ?
do you refer to stones as friends ?
do minerals speak out to you ?
or are them rocks some magic tool ?
do you harbour stone attraction feelings ?
or are interested in gem stone healings ?
or simply dig the jewelry stones ?
or are you a collector of fossile "bones" ?
no matter to which of those you said "Yes!"
Here is a forum on mw I suggest
you check it out, it is one for you
Crystals and Stones (http://www.mysticwicks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=58) is waiting for you
