The Official Introduction Thread!
Welcome, Welcome!
This is the official introduction thread for this guild! Instead of scattering your intros all over the main forum, come and post them here!
To make it less confusing, already existing members will be asked to re-post their intros in this thread so that we have a concise collect of introductions from everyone.
Also, I will follow in the fashion as another guild I am apart of and I would like to ask all crew members to make a post, so That I may put it in this first post so new members know who it is that is in charge around here! wink

Artistic Genocide
Hello everyone!
I'm Artistic Genocide, the new guild captain!
I'm 19 years old, turning 20 in December.
I'm currently attending a university, and will be returning there this fall for my sophomore year. My major is English, (British/English/European literature) and my minor is secondary education.
I've gonna down a terribly twisty path with it comes to my faith. Currently, I'm a Hellenic Polytheist, but I wasn't always. First I had to go through what now seems like a mandatory fluff stage, were I thought I was a Wiccan. Anyone who told me differently would get the generic response of me sticking my fingers in my ears and going "lalalalala! I can't hear you and your logic!"
Needless to say, once I stumbled upon some of the regs in the Wiccan FAQ thread I was torn inside and out, but I saw the light. I new I wasn't wiccan, at that point. Which was both a blessing and a curse. It helped me realize what wicca really was, and that what I was practicing wasn't even right for me to begin with. I was left confused, though. What was right for me? I needed something Structured. And that's when I found Hellenic Reconstructionism. It's an orthopraxic reconstruction faith that surrounds the practices of the ancient Greeks. I wouldn't say everything within my faith is strictly reconstructionist, as I do pull certain things/beliefs from outside Hellenic views/beliefs. So, I'm not a pure reconstructionist, but I'm very happy with where I belong.

Renkon Root
This pickled vegetable...
Well hello there. I stumbled upon this little guild of yours after one of my friends joined.
I had been studying witchcraft off and on for about six years but never actually practiced it. It was more of a passive interest of mine. However, recently I have started combining witchcraft with my martial arts. I practice Kappoujutsu which at a variation of Daken-taijutsu. The discipline a focus necessary for higher level martial arts is very similar to the discipline and focus needed for "magic" (* magic is in quote here because it's an ambiguous term and carries very little meaning for me).
I do not invoke, worship or in any other way use deities in my craft, I find bringing a god (or god-like entity) into your practice over complicates things and is more trouble than its worth. (It also seems to be a rather pompous thing to do. I'm sure gods have betting things to do with their time than bless your herb garden.)
I think that's about all you need to know about me. (Not that anyone ever reads these things anyway.)
Oh yeah!
And I prefer to be called "Ren" (unless I don't like you).

Little Batwing
I'm a 23-year-old college student, amateur writer, and artist. I like music, animals, environmentalism, art, literature, gaming, astrology, astronomy, my family, my boyfriend, my pets, and my friends.
I consider myself an 'Earth Witch', by which I mean that I'm an environmentalist magic-user who works primarily with nature spirits. I could also be considered an Eclectic Neo-Pagan, since I also work with various deities on occasion.
As far as personality goes, I tend to be rather solitary and introverted, but friendly. I like helping people and I'm good at giving advice. I'm usually a very easygoing, down-to-earth and patient sort of person, but I can become a snarky b***h under negative circumstances. My astrological sign is Leo, and my Chinese zodiac sign is the rabbit. I'm at the guild pretty often, so I'm sure most of you have seen me around, but for those of you who are new, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.

rmcdra
I guess I better introduce myself.
I'm rmcdra (Robbie to my friends). I'm a Christian Gnostic (or would it be Gnostic Christian). I found myself on my path after trying to leave Christianity due to misrepresentations and poor teachings and eventually being called back. I serve as an Elder for Alpha & Omega: Christian Gnostic Church. I'm pretty well versed in esoteric Christianity and the Gnostic tradition though I am by no means an expert.
I'm here basically because some of my friends are in this guild and I have an interest in developing my own witchcraft tradition.
