Isaura

 

My name is Isaura. I am a wife and a mother of two, but of course I'm just Cindy or Mama to them, and much of my time outside of working as a directory operator, is spent with them. :) I enjoy reading, anything from horror and science fiction to historical, romance, and non-fiction and many things in between. Heck, I love reading. Period. Like Carrion Mann, I like genealogy, but am only in the shallow end as far as research goes. My goal is to sometime in the near future to visit countries of my ancestors and those that just capture my fascination. I also enjoy computer games as well as trivia and board games. One of my favorite shows is Jeopardy-- go figure, eh?

 

My spiritual path started out as many others have with my parents being Christian, in this case, specifically Methodists. So of course, I had to go to church. It never had a good fit for me and by the time I was thirteen, I had stopped going at all. As I didn’t know what really felt right for me, I was agnostic for about ten years. And in mid 2000 I met a couple of friends at a new job who introduced me to Wicca. It was like a door was opened to the outside and I breathed in the fresh air of Paganism. :) A little melodramatic sounding maybe, but I felt as if I had finally found the right direction for me.

 

Then in the late summer /early fall of 2002, I heard about a local Druid group starting. Intrigued, I looked into what it and the ADF was all about, attended those first couple of meetings, and found that it fit my ideas, feelings, and belief structure even better. And in so doing, I also found like minded people who I knew were on the same wavelength. Quite the feeling of coming home, spiritually.

 

I am currently working on my Dedicant program, and plan to finish in the coming year. My original goal was to finish by the end of 2004, but *sigh* alas, it's still a work in progress. That pesky meditation. :) I am thinking of heading in the liturgy direction as I've always enjoyed writing, and it seems to be an easier way for me to express myself. ( It's a little bit harder to stutter when writing, don't you think?) :} :}
