| Introduction | I'm a blind Nature Witch, poet, author of children's fiction, homemaker, and vegetarian. A Nature Witch is an Eclectic Pagan, but I personally prefer "Nature Witch"... Not that it matters. Anyway, I was born in the shadow of the black mountains in Wales, lived in Canada for a few months in my late teens, and now live near the sea in the South-East of England with my Canadian husband, a West Highland White Terrier named Keroberous, and 4 degus. I have Congenital Glaucoma (which just means I was born with the eye condition "Glaucoma") and have been completely blind since I was about 23 years old, although, I've had vision problems my entire life. Personality wise I feel I'm a combination of Hermione and Luna from the Harry Potter books and movies; Hermione's thirst for knowledge and love of books, combined with Luna's wandering mind and alternative way of looking at the world. A few people have told me in the past that they agree with that description of my personality, so I feel I'm justified in using it. |
| Interests | Paganism and witchcraft, yoga and meditation, enjoying the beauty of nature, Herbalism, wildlife and animals (especially cats; from domestic house cats to lions and tigers), astronomy and astrology, investigating and contemplating the mysteries of the universe, spending time with my family and friends, creating things; be it pieces of creative writing or various craft projects, watching movies and TV shows, listening to music and the radio, reading or listening to books/audiobooks, blogging, having the odd roleplaying and/or figure gaming session, cooking and baking, having long discussions with anyone willing to participate, solving brain teaser puzzles, history (especially prehistoric or stone age history; with a bit of Egyptian and Native American and Celtic history thrown in), and dabbling in various other activities - or educational topics - that capture my interest from time to time |
| Favorite Movies | Fantasy/Sci-Fi movies, Family/Children's movies, some Romance movies, some horror movies, a couple of Comedies, and the odd Action/Adventure movie |
| Favorite Music | Country (old and new), Oldies, Pop/Rock, Soothing Sounds (e.g. panpipes and sounds from nature), New Age stuff, and the odd bit of Jazz or Classical music |
| Favorite Books | Fantasy/Sci-Fi books, Romance novels, Children's books (I can't help it; some of them are such sweet stories... Plus I have to read them if I'm going to write them), Mysteries, Horror stories, books on the parts of history that interest me, books on Paganism and witchcraft, books on astronomy, recipe books, books on Herbalism, poetry books, and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on; I just love to read! |
Well, maybe they don't need them, but don't you think that some fish might like a bicycle?
Absolutely! I'm all for equal oppertunities; fish should have the option to accept or decline the offer of a bicycle based on personal preference. Humans don't need bicycles either, but plenty of us own and use one!
