I thank Pythia and all my new friends for welcoming me into Covenspace, and I thank you for allowing me a chance to introduce myself.

I am pagan in the original rural sense of the world. I reverence Mother Earth with such conviction that I have spent the last decade trying to be married to her. My marriage is in the form of being a homesteader. I have been seeking to build a lifestyle in which I receive as much of my food and shelter from the Mother Earth herself. I milk a cow, make butter and cheese, raise chickens, and plant a very large garden. In the center of my garden (my sacred Tullach) I yearly raise a "bile" a sacred May pole. I mention this for my reverence to Mother Earth doesn't merely feed my body but also my soul.

Of late, I have become aware that there is a "somasin" in my soul. A somasin is a third-gendered gethammic (sacred sex) healer.  I am still trying to understand why the somasin has chosen to be manifest in me, and as I embrace her, I more comfortably embrace my gay sexuality. I also find myself coming into contact with a great many healers of late. Oddly, I've been asked to be their healers. I've lately had very powerful bodily experiences of souls seeking some sort of healing as well. This is all very new to me, and I partly come to covenspace to meet more experienced healers who may help me understand my transformation.

I indicate that I'm on a Celtic Recon path. I'm not precisely sure of that term, but it is true that my Irish ancestrial memories deeply inform my spiritual growth. However, my ancestors moved to a new continent generations ago, and I myself feel my soul-journey moves forward not backward. I embrace a form of Celtic culture and worship that I call Genaism.  I believe the path I follow leads me to my true home in some new Celtic world.
