Where do you live?: California - it rocks!

Do you practice divination? If so, which form?: Yes. I love the tarot, but have yet to memorize all those cards. I also love pendulums, but they don't give you enough info for a lot of things. Rune stones are fab too: easier to memorize than tarot and more exact than a pendulum. I find that just holding my divination tools can relax me. I use them more to help explain what's going on around me than to divine the future. I'm an empath, so it helps me to know whether my emotions are my own, or someone elses.

Favorite musical artist or band: *Elton John*, Sarah Brightman, The Beach Boys (Brian Wilson to be exact), Billy Joel, Bob Marley, Seal, Bowling for Soup (are they still around?). . .I could go on all night. NOT the Beatles - no offense fans, I can't stand 'em. Not saying their bad, but they aren't as quite as good as everyone seems to remember either.

Favorite book: Ooooo. Les Miserable. Peter Pan. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Ah!!! - The Princess and the Goblins. If you haven't read it, you must! Download it here: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/708

Favorite film: Mary Poppins, since I was about 2 years old, maybe younger. Also the Princess Bride. But I have to say that Monsters Inc. is coming up on beating out Mary Poppins. I also like Galaxy Quest (Tim Allen).

Favorite quote: Can't pick one.

I: crochet, knit (sorta), sew, macrame, write, read, garden, paper mache, draw (sorta), cook, sing, write music, love yoga (fall frequently), paint, do various crafts on whim or of necessity, oh! and I've recently learned to make fake dread locks (dread-lock falls precisely). Haven't had any turn out well yet, but here's hoping!

What do you expect to gain from your membership here? INFINITE COSMIC POWERS!!! Not really, just here to learn.

What do you wish to contribute? This: http://www.sacred-texts.com/index.htm . . . which come to think of it, I may have found through this site. But also, I would like to make the little bit of knowledge that I have available to those who may benefit from it.
