Greetings and many blessings to you all.
I was a fairly inactive member of all the MSN groups, then had trouble entering this site,
but it seems to be fixed now and with the turning of the year I felt like saying hello and
re-connecting with some Pagan friends.
I'm Hikaru, 40 years young, from Connecticut and Southern Cal but living in Tokyo,
either a fulltime stay at home Mom to two beautiful bicultural kids, or
an English instructor on a VERY long maternity leave
I've identified as a Witch for nearly 15 years now but have always been a seeker and a bit of a spiritual nonconformist. I'm a Gemini, Scorpio rising, Virgo ascendant. I've been reading Tarot since I was 16 and have a collection of about 40 decks.

I also read a lot, knit and crochet compulsively, and watch waaaay too much TV (Bones, House, ER, Supernatural and Lost , anyone??)

Glad to be here. Hope you all had a wonderful blessed Samhain.

Hikaru

Hello and Welcome Hikaru

What an amazing cultural experience to be living in Japan! It is one of the places I want to visit before I pass this realm.....you must tell us about some of the lore and legends there! I would love to know more....

As for reading, I think you will find most of us read ALOT...and you are amongst good company....Your kids are blessed to be able to expierince the diversity! How cool!

Anyway, Welcome and I Hope to get to know you better in the days to come! This site has so much more than MSN can offer, and you will get lost (we all do) in the rooms....I am delighted you can access the site, with the new upgrades we seem to have fewer problems with folks accessing the site, and although it is rather cumbersome at times, I know you will find our Castle useful and friendly!

Blessings Bright and Dark,

Nivce to see long lost friends wandering back into the castle after such a long spell.

Hope to see you around a bit more now Hikaru.

Hikaru,
A pleasure to meet you. I want to visit Japan on day if you every have a time please post some photos. As far as some of your tv shows I love Bones, Supernatural, and Reaper is my new favorite.

Welcome Hikaru!  Make yourself at home.

Well thanks for the welcomes!
I'm very pleased to meet you (again)

Hikaru
