I've been studying wicca for about five years now (not counting the 5 years stuck in the middle when I was a Mormon) as a solitary and also as a member of an independent coven. I follow mostly the Celtic traditions. I'm also a third degree Reiki practitioner. I hope to become a master teacher soon.
The origin of my name is a long story. The short version is that it was told to me by someone that I met during an out of body experience. They seemed to know me well, and called me by this name.
Yes, I cut my hair to get my job. Yes, I did look like Dilbert. My hair is growing back though. If I look like Dilbert, I must be a single male. I'm 32 years old, been married & divorced twice. I'm sure that there's someone out there who knows when to laugh...and when not to. :) I've got 2 kids who live with their mom but I get to play Mr. Mom during the summer and I always look forward to that! I've got a truly warped sense of humor, which you'll discover if you run into me online. I was molded by chaos at a young age and enjoy spoiling my inner child by letting it run amok often.
Some of my other interests include: IRC (duh!) VR games (Doom, Doom 2, Rise Of The Triad, Descent, Comanche, Heretic) HTML document design (still working on the motif of my home page) Music (listening as well as playing guitar, bass, harmonica, trumpet, fluglehorn, piano & other keyboards, saxophone & a bunch of other instruments when i can get my hands on them) Mountain Biking (got into this in Utah. No mountains in Nebraska) Photography (I take a lot of pictures, but I have very few of myself) Watching Movies (Hi, my name's aestra, and I'm a movie junkie...) Motorcycles (Riding & rebuilding) Role Playing Games (I'm living proof that being a pagan can lead to RPGs rather than the other way around).
