Name: Harley
Age: 26
I am bi, poly and open in my marriage, and think that these things are all affirmations of my faith. I am a current practitioner and follower of the Goddess Hathor/Sekhmet. I am Her Priestess. I also follow Goddesses that I find that I can learn from, but may not have a mythological or historical basis. (IE: "Fictional" deities)
I try to spread understanding, love and education rather than anger or hate. I know that this is beyond some people (within and outside of Paganism). I'll admit, I'm human, as well as anyone. It bothers me when people aren't honest. I choose to take a stand most times instead of just lie down or 'kill someone with kindness'. If I am anything, it is honest and if I must be anything, it is honest of heart.
I am a High-Intuitive Empath and Reader. I am a Geomancer. This also impacts my faith and how I choose to affect the world. I recycle as much as I can, and own a natural bath and body product business. I try to use my products to help people heal.
I read Tarot and Runes and I'm also a Medium. But I'm also a multiple personality (also, I think, part of my faith and some of Ours as a whole), so this allows me to do many things at once.
I think because of this, people have a hard time understanding me. But I think I'm lucky to have this many points of view. I don't treat this as a 'mental illness' (I was told by a Priestess that I needed mental and psychiatric treatment before I would ever find true spiritual happiness or a true calling by my Goddess), I treat it like something that is as true to myself as my hair or eye color. Yes, these are things that I can change, and if I choose to change them, I create a change within myself.
...This ended up becoming something different than I started out in, so I'll leave it here. If you have any questions, please ask!

Date: 2012-07-07 08:38 pm (UTC)I'm currently teaching a class myself. I've run into quite a few nasty entities myself, more of which have had the precis of 'helping' me, without any deception intended. So I think my instincts (that I admit in hindsight I should have listened to in the first place) are the best thing to listen to in any circumstance.
