HELLO! I'm majo, a quirky witch with a penchant for playing loud music and talking to trees. Sometimes people call me niconico but only truly intimate friends may call me the smelly hippie. I like bright colors, especially hot flamingo pink and limegreen. If I could be anything in the world it would be a crayola crayon tester, no lie. Seventeen-years-old, I am an amateur writer and artist striving to make the next literary cult classic. (I can hear that voice in the back of my head snickering). I have grown up with a deep pagan influence but for a long time I tried to ignore my religion and spiritual ties.
Not just ignore it but completely sever myself from magic.
There were many reasons for this but I think it was mostly rooted in that I hated the mentality of other teenage pagans at the time (and that I was being treated differently by older pagans because of them).
In particular I was hounded at school by a group of girls who thought they were long lost Charmed ones and wanted me to be apart of their cloak-donning circle. Needless to say, they made me terribly ashamed to be a hellenic pagan because of such misrepresentation. To the point that I withdrew from the pagan community altogether and focused on my journey alone (well not quite alone as I have two animal companions at my side).
But all that is behind me now. It took a lot of growing up on my part to decide that my beliefs are stronger then my dislike for those kind of people. Now I don't dislike them so much as pray that they find clarity in their life.
I'm still very reserved about my beliefs and opinions on spirituality but I hope that with time I can express myself, both here and offline, more openly.
Here's to making friends! (n_n)b
