<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">*raises hand*<br><br>Hi, I'm Malia, and my husband is Shawn.<br><br>I was raised Catholic and started out in Paganism through Wicca roughly a decade ago, but while it kind of spoke to me, the "kind of" part always left me wanting more. I started off by reading up on Irish deities, looked into OBOD, ADF, and the like, so I suppose it really all started from there. Shortly afterward, I met my hubby, whose grandmother was Irish (she's a Hanley from Roscommon County), so he's always been interested in his heritage as well as the religious ideas and practices associated with the Tuatha de Danann. <br><br>We're here in Denver, we poke people with sharp objects and create continuing education classes in Oriental medicine for our day job, and we don't have any kids, unless you count the furry and feathered kind. :)<br><br><br><br>--- On <b>Sun,

I have forgotten the list of questions...<br>> <br>> Anyway, I am interested in CR because I am already a member of ADF. After studying Wicca (because it was the only thing out there readily available) for years and never really having it quite "speak" to me, then stumbling clumsily onto Druidry which for the most part is what I naturally believe anyway, it has come to my attention that many in ADF (mostly in New England) are all fluffy bunny sunshine and lollipops, just like all the
Wiccan's I regularly piss off.<br>> <br>> I usually get along best with those following Asatru and whatnot, but since I tend to lean way more to the Celtic both in heritage and just general feeling, I am not Asatru. <br>> This group was recommended to me by a friend. However, I seriously doubt I will actually meet many or possibly any of you, since I not only live in Texas, I live just Southeast of Houston. So most of what I can get or give will be on line.<br>> <br>> It is fun to live as a Pagan in the Bible Belt! Yaay!! Anyway, Other than all that, I am into all kinds of water sports including whitewater kayaking, expedition canoeing, surfing, swimming, fishing, hunting and German longsword. So, it's possible if I ever get a trip to the rivers there in Colorado, I might get to meet some of you then, but until then, I guess on line only. <br>> And yes, Texas has whitewater and some decent surfing if you
know where and when to go...<br>> <br>> We home school our two boys, and they are 4th gen living in the same house. The house (which currently needs a LOT of work) was built in 1939. <br>> I don't know what else you might want to know....... I'm pretty open, so ask away. And I tend to ramble...<br>> <br>> ~</>~<br>> <br>> Otter<br>> <br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Community mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Community@crodreoilin.org" href="/mc/compose?to=Community@crodreoilin.org">Community@crodreoilin.org</a><br><a href="http://crodreoilin.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community" target="_blank">http://crodreoilin.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community</a><br></div></blockquote></td></tr></table>
