Usually, wild horses couldn't make me give an introductory post. Call it a dislike for stating the obvious (Yeah, in case the post count didn't make it clear, I'M NEW! Wheeee!) Don't ask why I'm doing it now, as I still find it a silly custom. Anywho, we'll be about this all night if I don't get down to basics.
I've been a Pagan for a good long while now. I don't much fancy I'll ever get over the awestruck feeling, especially if it hasn't passed after this long. If you held me down and threatened me with bad Harry Potter fanfiction, I suppose I would label myself a Kitchen Witch. I adore anything whatsoever to do with my kitchen, and cooking, love herbs (though I'm not much iof a healer... go figure, eh?) and, by Dandy, do I ever love to eat. Most of my spells are little household things, I'm not all fancy-and-flash and nor do I much care for the thought of laying out grand sums of money for supplies when I can just as easily use what's to hand.
My patron deity is Lilith. Otherwise, I have no affinity for any one pantheon, though I do have both a fondness and familiarity with most of them.
I've been a teacher of Paganism for a good bit as well. You could call me one of those people who is informed on many things and an expert at none; I was someone one would turn to once one has read plenty of books and yet still didn't feel quite competent - or maybe didn't understand, or lacked faith in the books. It was a fun thing to do, for me, and I enjoyed it for the challenge.
Oddly, I've taken a large running step back over the last two years. I divorced and, at the time, just didn't want to bother with much of anything. Oh, I threw the occasional hex here or there and maybe did the odd spell or two, answered random questions from friends and acquaintances - my study didn't go entirely wasted. But I haven't meditated in such a long time, haven't read a jolly thing. I've forgotten so much that I really am quite a little ashamed of myself. Lilith has been incredibly patient. I've decided that enough is enough with the apathy and it's high time I snapped out of it. First step - talk to other Pagans. And that's why I registered here.
So. Hullo! Nice place.
