Name: Tennille

Type of witchcraft you practice: None that I am aware of......I love nature and that is where I am the happiest.  I love the dirt, the feel of in in-between my toes,  the plants, the animals, the wind in my hair the mist or sun on my face.....I get depressed if I am deprived of nature....I know that sounds crazy...but that�s just the way I feel.

In or out of the 'broom closet': My mother accused me of being a witch when I was in my teens because of my obsession/love with nature including the healing plants, my growing and studying of them.  She told the whole church including the youth group that I was involved in that I was a witch and they all turned their backs on me, literally.  I never thought that I was anything but myself and don�t try to be anything but myself.  I am just not always excepted as myself.  That hasn�t made life easy and I question myself because of it but am still drawn to nature...Its where I feel at home.

Favorite book:  I love to read, it�s a great escape from the real world....I really don�t have a fav book but I do really like Anne Rice.

Favorite film:  I watch a lot of movies and don�t really have a fav...I don�t really like romance unless it�s a comedy romance...and I don�t like the sad stories either...who wants to cry like a baby?  I also don�t care for extremely gruesome movies...like Hostel or Saw.

Favorite quote: Anything I�ve said that I felt came from the heart and made a difference in someone�s life.  Or...anything anyone else has said that has made a difference in my life.

Favorite television show:  I like HGTV, Animal Planet, Food Network, CSI.....True TV...silly stuff like that.
