About Me - SunsetSeashell

I was born late October in 1978. I'm a Scorpio with Taurus rising and Libra Moon. I have lived on the Gold Coast for the major part of my life. I love this city! I currently live with my partner/boyfriend, a room-mate and 2 cats, Bibs (mine) and Puddie (room-mate's) in Surfers Paradise. My mother passed from her life into the Summerlands, the womb of the Goddess and Cauldron of Rebirth near end of February 1999.

Personality? I'm pretty agreeable except for one week each month. *smile*

How did I become a Witch? Well, I was raised Roman Catholic (baptised as an infant, celebrated First Communion and Confirmation) but I never felt fulfilled with that belief system. A mortality and morality crisis that I was experiencing, at the time, was the push I needed to seek out my true spiritual home. I came across my true spiritual path (not religion) thought myself with the help of the local public library. I, currently, consider myself to be a Solitary Neo-Pagan Rosicrucian Witch. I do not consider myself Wiccan whilst not denying my Wiccan beginning or influence of Wicca upon my path. I do not claim any hereditary because my tradition was 'born' in 1995 from me.

Paganism, to me, is the spiritual aspect of my life whilst Witchcraft is the lifestyle. My spirituality compliments and enhances my chosen lifestyle.

I believe in the Wiccan Principles of Belief (to a certain extent) and my own Personal Rede: Respect and live in Harmony with myself, Respect and live in Harmony with Others (including society, the wider community) and I am responsible for my actions, thoughts and feelings and their subsequent repercussions. I believe in the concept of duality, harmony, co-existence with Nature (humanity is not separate from Nature, we are part of it), the Earth as Mother (Gaia Hypothesis), and many more concepts. I believe in the cycle of Birth, Growth, Death and Re-birth as evident throughout Nature's seasonal cycles and Nature Herself. I also try to hold true to my various mottoes. For example, "Walk in Light, Walk in Shadow", "I am here to understand not to be understood" and others. My path is rather complicated because it's not set in stone and forever changes as my beliefs change due to experiences or insights (such as my latest journey down a Rosicrucian path). That's what I love about my beliefs - they are not set. They can, and do, change as I grow from Maiden to Mother to Crone. To me, all life is coloured with a rainbow of colours or different shades of gray.

Let's get back to the Physical Plane of existence! J I do enjoy socialising, meeting new people and life. Life is to be enjoyed (even when it isn't enjoyable) and celebrated! I love myself (and continue to strive to Know Myself), partner, family, friends, and non-human friends (such as Bibs, my cat).

I'm starting to believe that Heaven can indeed be on Earth and that this Physical Plane of existence is what I make of it. Perfection could exist if I wanted it to. Yes, I believe that we each, to a certain extent, create our reality.

Well, I could go on and on but I will end it here. If there's anything you would like to know further about myself, don't be afraid to ask me! If you have any further questions on anything - please ask no matter how silly you think the question. I will endeavor to answer your questions to the best of my ability. I'm no authority on anything. I'm just another traveller trying to reach the Summit of the Mountain.

God Hugs and Goddess Kisses,
