Honest to a fault. Verily, Love/compassion, Truth, and treating others as I would like to be treated are the backbone of my morality.
I am a lifelong student of philosophy and comparative religion. I study intensely from the Hermetic/Gnostic traditions and both my art and poetry reflect as much. I love teaching anyone with an interest in these subjects, as it is always an honor, joy and privilege to share the fruits of my pursuits.
Trying desperately to find a healthy means of adjustment to what I deem a very sick society. I have little interest in compromising my dreams, passions, dignity, intelligence nor values just to fit in nor to make ends meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Haven't allowed the horrors and injustices of this world to dampen my spirit, compassion or optimism

Teach, Learn, Share

As stated above, I love to share my knowledge about all things hermetic/esoteric. Geology is another relatively new passion that I am becoming knowledgeable about.
I am very interested in learning about computer programing, gardening, off-grid sustainability (along with any other survival skills), or any new art or craft. In all truth, I LOVE LEARNING PERIOD. If you have something worthwhile to teach, I am all ears.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great company, laughter, conversation, the love and companionship of one of the most amazing dogs ever, along with any labor that may be needed.
