About Me:
Greetings! My name is Gypsy, (I’m a 43 years old and yes ladies I am spoken for.) An old nickname I’ve never been quite able to shake loose. Not from a lack of trying I tell you. But I am partially of Spanish Romani descent & have traveled the whole USA & parts of both Mexico & I.
Some would have called me homeless at that time. In reality I was just a free spirit gypsy nomad who saw the whole world as my home (I have owned several skoolies over the years and am a old Deadhead who toured a lot and followed the Rainbow Trail). I've recently return to my hometown and settled in the Santa Ynez Valley again and am surrounded by my beautiful Coastal Oak trees, but still see the whole world as my home. Homelessness is a state of mind.
I dream of homesteading a small piece of land with a small cottage industry family farm & Druidic school.
I'm into Druidism & Fire Dancing & playing/jamming bluegrass & jamband music. These for me go hand in hand as my matron deity is none other than the Fiery Brighid herself (Goddess of fire & inspiration).
I’ve been a practicing Druid for 22 years, a Pagan for 26. I started Wiccan, but I not so much out grew as I evolved beyond Wicca to Druidism.
I love music from Classical, Bach & Mozart to Classic Rock, (Jethro Tull is my all time favorite band) to Celtic Music to Modern Rock like Stone Temple Pilot, Radiohead, Staind & Evanescence to Rockabilly. My main thing is Bluegrass/Jam Bands & Jethro Tull. I play the Bass, Guitar, Flute & Banjo and now the Mandolin that I'm truly enjoying.
I love to Hunt (Bow Hunting only, rifles are for wimps), fish & camp out. Go to Concerts & Music Festivals, Rainbow Gatherings, Burning Man type Events (Never been to Burning Man itself) & Pagan Gatherings. Love to travel & meet new people.
Of course I mention that my other passion is Fire Dancing. This is a form of performance I’ve been deeply involved in for sometime now & have been figuring ways to incorporate it into my rituals to honour my matron Goddess Brighid.
I've spent alot of time working with & helping teens (I was myself a street kid once). I'm a practicing Druid in the ADF
( ADF ) for almost 5 years now. Prior to returning to Santa Ynez Valley I was living in Portland, OR for 4 years. I was involve with Magickal Winter Weekend as well as one of the founding members and vice-chairman of Pacific Magical Community Project.
I'll post more here when I have time.
Siochain (Peace)
