About Me

My name is Crow. Yes, that's my actual birth name. Well, it's really my family name, but I've had it since birth. I became Wiccan in November of 2013. For me it seems that I turned to Wicca almost naturally after a very troubling time of my life. That troubling time is a little personal, but I may or may not share it on occasion or under certain circumstances. My best friend is also Wiccan and, even though it is hard to keep in touch after my second uprooting, we try and I still consider her to be a very good friend. She helped me through my troubling time and I hold great love and respect for her. I've been in a heterosexual relationship since February of this year (2014). My boyfriend is agnostic, but he respects my personal beliefs and religious choices and has supported me while I was still "broken", if you will. I believe myself to have fully recovered from that troubling time in my life, but, even though it's in the past, I know that as I look to the future it will always be with me. It still comes back to me and I know that even though I'm letting go, and have been letting go, there will always be times where it all comes back. You cannot escape the past. All you can do is look ahead to the future and live in your present. I am currently studying Wicca and magick, even though, as mentioned before, I am Wiccan and, though I haven't mentioned this, I've grown up having some knowledge of it. I will most likely continue to study Wicca and its philosophies throughout my life. I would also like to study all other religions, philosophies, and theologies, because I am a curious person, have a great interest in other cultures, and like to compare and contrast and find links and similarities between my religion/beliefs and others'. Though I forget the name of the man who said it, there is a quote I read a while ago that I really like that is kind of old: "he who has studied one religion knows none". It is an interesting perspective that I believe to be quite true; how can you understand yourself, your culture, your religion/beliefs, your world, if you do not know anything of others' cultures, beliefs, and worlds? It is part of the motivation for why I would like to study all religions, philosophies, and theologies; they can give me a better understanding of my own religion, beliefs, and perspective of the world. I also love mythology and as a child read books on Greek mythology on my own. I happen to like to read a lot and have written my own prayers. I tend to be very open minded and do my best not to judge others for who they are. I also like to think of myself as a bit of a rebel, liking things that are different, wanting things no one else has, trying to be unique, but I am probably just overestimating the rebelliousness of my nature. I can be rather strange at times, but, like my Marilyn Monroe tank top says, "Being Normal is Boring". And, yes, I know Marilyn Monroe is awfully popular, but she was quite gorgeous. And I love me some gorgeous women, as do most people, yes? I'm kind of pro-sex/sex-positive feminist, among other things. I identify as bisexual and I have some pansexual tendencies. And, though I still identify as completely bisexual, I'm closer to being a heterosexual who is homoromantic than I am to being a pure bisexual. I also realize that human sexuality, especially female/woman sexuality, is quite fluid and, therefore, have no qualms with my sexuality and all its facets and tendencies. Also, before I knew I was bisexual, but after I found I wasn't straight, I used to joke about my sexuality, saying that "I was so straight, I curved". I plan on going through the Navy Reserve Officers' Training Corps and being a part of the linguistics department. I have actually taken about two and a half years' worth of a Japanese language class and one of my three Japanese language teachers was from Oosaka, Japan and was a native speaker, English being her second language. I'm an artist and hope to get my own books, plays, movie scripts, and graphic novels published one day. I would also like to draw for Marvel publishers and maybe even submit some stories to them for publishing. I want some tattoos and will even be designing some of them. I like edgey stuff and listen to a lot of music, mostly rock, though I enjoy most music. I love theatre and have been on the crews for three plays. I think I might have mentioned this about myself before, but I love to read, write, and draw. My current relationship is my third... Most other things about me you'll just have to find out.
