Profile

There are some who find comfort in the shadows. Who strive to comprehend the mysteries. Who find solace in the silence of a winter night. Who sing softly to the moon.

I'm just your not so average suitheistic, non-preferential, polyamorous, sadomasochistic, switch, with misanthropic tenancies.

I live with my husband and son in Northwest Ohio. I study the occult and have co-authored the book Creating Magickal Entities: A Complete Guide to Entity Creation. My current magickal focus is on magickal entitites, sigils, energy work, and dream work. I am also looking to incorporate my love of rope into my magickal practices as well. I enjoy both tying and being tied. I especially like the aestetics of Japanese and Japanese-styled rope bondage. I've always had an interest in fiberarts and needlearts (e.g. sewing, crochet, embroidery, etc.), so this explains my current interest in costuming/cosplay and Lolita fashion. I've been a cosplay judge (Ohayocon 6 Head Craftsmanship Judge, Wizzywig Cosplay Day III and IV Judge) and a cosplay department head/coordinator (Ohayocon 7 and 8 Cosplay Department Head, Animarathon 2006 Cosplay Coordinator). I am currently working on a book about competitive cosplay and will be launching my costume/cosplay podcast sometime in the coming months. I'm the Administrator of Midwest Meets Far East (A Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan community devoted to the recognition, appreciation, and enjoyment of East Asian pop culture including, but not limited to, anime, manga, games, film, music, fashion, cosplay, and toys.). I like electronic, metal, and Middle Eastern music among others. Current favourite bands include D'espairs Ray, Girugamesh, the GazettE, Dir en grey, and lynch. My favourite composer is Kajiura Yuki. Oh, and I love baking...especially cookies.

"Friends" Lists: I do not mind if someone adds me to their list, but do not expect me to reciprocate, and don't be offended if I don't as my list is reserved for people I know and desire to read their LJ.
