Holy mackerel,

I lived for a while in Switzerland as a child, even though I don't remember much.  It is a small world!

It's funny actually, people hear about how I was born in Europe, and they say, "Wow, how exotic!", or "Well, your English is impeccable."  To the former I usually give a little laugh- okay, I snort when I laugh :oops: .  To the latter I say, "Thank you, my parents are from New Jersey, so they taught me well!" :wink:

I am a 59 y/o (almost the new 40!) male and reside in the woods of the Ozarks which are largely forested rolling hills in Missouri in the central USA.

I have been in OBOD since the late 80's and am a Druid graduate. I moderate this board and am the Supervising WebShaman for the OBOD web site.

My dream is to someday live in a Druid Colony or Commune and work full time for OBOD.

Who are you?

I'm 37, living in hollywood, california...used to be an OBOD member(for a short time) and I'm considering resuming studies....joined AMORC(the rosicrucian order) for a bit but that wasn't the right fit...so I just might come back and see it all the way thorugh this time  |-)

I have been lurking for a few weeks and I thought I would finally introduce myself.

I am Andrea and I currently live in Valdosta, GA.  We are moving to Columbia, SC next month.  My husband is in the Air Force, so we move every couple of years or so.

I am 35 years old.  I have considered myself a pagan for just over a year now and became interested in Druidry within the last few months or so.  I cannot afford the OBOD course as of yet, but I plan to start the AODA course after we move next month, although I have started reading some of the recommended books already.

Anyway, I am thankful for this message board.  I feel very comfortable here and hope to get to know many of you.
Andrea

Heyy everyone!
I'm 16 and I live in northern New Jersey.

Hello

Postby Dysgwr » 14 May 2007, 10:05

Hello and blessings to everyone,

My name is Terry, I'm 36 and go by the name of Panoramix on this forum.
I've been living in Spain for 13 years now

I've been studying Wicca for some time and while it is definately close to what I'm looking for its not 100%. So now I'm looking to study something more closely linked to my roots.

Greetings Fellow Seekers

Postby NanciK » 15 May 2007, 09:44

This is really an intro for two, myself and my husband Tom.  My husband and soul mate Tom and I live with our boys in about 17 acres of forest where we are building a sustainable home and hope to create an ecovillage and spiritual center.  

I'm Nanci, and I've been actively on a Celtic Eclectic Pagan path for about 19 years now.  My gifts lie in wordcraft, elemental earth and water magics, moon magics, meditation and mysteries, and fae folk.  I am also very much a kitchen witch and cook up both ritual/special events and everyday food imbued with spirit and energy.  I have had a profound interest in religious, cultural and historical study.  I am a writer, poet, bibliophile, student of herbs, and passionate lover of nature.  I am also a mother, homeschooling two very busy boys currently ages 9 and 10, and working on adopting two more children.  

Tom's path has been parallel to my own in Celtic Paganism, yet individual to his own gifts and calling.  He has been actively Pagan for about 10 years.  He is a mathematically and kinesthetically gifted, working with sacred geometry, sun, earth and stone, and fire magics, and animism.  He is a Mechanical Engineer and gifted carpenter, stone mason, plumber, eletrician, all around builder.  He is a strong and quietly self confident and capable man, gentle, loving and a wonderful dad, with a decidedly goofy sense of humor.

We have been exploring Druidry for a time now, both feeling called to it.  So now, even though we are building our house this summer, the time was right to take the plunge and we are planning to take the OBOD and ADOA courses concurrently, in addition to our own self study.  We have begun with The 21 Lessons of Merlyn, and will move on from there.  I often read aloud, as I am gifted in oration and storytelling and Tom works best with audio rather than text, and we discuss much together.  We are looking forward to recieving our first OBOD gwersi with text and audio.

Tom and I are ritual as well as study partners and are active in our local Pagan community, where we also draw most of ours and our children's friends.

We both look forward to learning much here.

Nanci K.

Hello Everyone!   I go by WillowCat in this and in the MSN Groups.  Elsewhere I use Avdredr (that's Avid Reader).   I'm 51 and live in Virginia, USA (right on the North Carolina border).  I'm recently divorced, no children but a good nanny to 3 purrkats and a host of wild birds, squirrels, and the occassional raccoon, fox and deer.  

I started focusing on my own spirituality after my divorce - having finally gotten some time to take care of myself!  I discovered druidry only recently after I purchased the Druid Craft Tarot.  I found a real connection to the cards which led me to this site.  I received my introductory package this week and, if I can find the funds, am going to order the full course.  

I've been dabbling/reading about Wicca, but the more I learn about druidry, the more I think this is the right path for me.   I look forward to being a regular visitor to the site.

Hope you have a wonderful and happy day!

WillowCat   =^..^=
