Howdy :)

I didn't know there was a thread for introducing yourself until just now and I feel like that's something I should do, being new and all!

Well, I'm a 23 yr old mother of 1, love my family. I am not totally hippyish but I'm close, I think. I try to do as many things naturally as possible... I always cook from scratch, I am not vegetarian and I much prefer grass-fed beef and free range chicken and eggs, no cow's milk but almond, I dry my herbs and hang them in my kitchen, I make my bread conventionally and sometimes with a machine, I make my own laundry detergent and will be making my own deodorant soon, I cloth diaper, "attachment parent," all sorts of things... the Earth is my Mother, the Universe my Grandmother, the Multi-verse my Great Grandmother...

That being said, I make myself happy as possible in a conventional world. I love to play video games [especially RPGs like Fable, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls], and reading is also a favorite past time. I also like to go outside and take care my plants.


I started my dreads about 3 weeks ago, and I did the backcombing method... I didn't like the way my hair seemed to be falling apart, and so I recently decided to untangle them and let them dread on their own. I am liking it a lot better. I know they won't mature for a while, but I feel like my dreadlocks help me make a statement about myself; they are also spiritual, as I am pagan and they help me to feel more connected to Nature. And thank you to everyone for being so helpful.

welcome and hahaha how can you possibly deny being "totaly hippieish" with an intro like that

yup your a super hippie

th only things u missed was dancing naked in the rain talking to trees and rivers and living in a tipi

oh and traveling in a painted up schoolbus with a couple vw's welded to the roof

--
My new book Ban The Taboo Vol 1

Well then I guess I can rightfully claim the title "Hippie" because I would love to dance naked in the rain, I do talk to trees and plants, I do swim in the river, but I don't live in a tipi. lol!

And thanks :D

there would be more "therms" that would fit on you're discription

Uh.... what's a "therm"? :D

haha whoops i referred term but i'm not sure it's the right word. while reading you're blog i more tought of any kind of pagan like wiccan,asatru,druidery (or some like that) sice you'e working with your herbs and "worship" the acient gods.but i see so many matches in different "religions" like i don't see many differences in hippie and pagan culture. so i see pagans being hippie and reverse but there are so many defferent nature religions, all with it's own good and bad and unique "stuff" (for want of a better word :P) since many became a mixture and i don't know where i belong in ( i like to use all the good stuff) i like to mark "other" and add: "the old ways" on official papers :Pi hope it make a bit sense to you since my english is not to well :S

ow haha i did not read you're message well, you already called yourself pagan :P i tought so since i can relate a lot to myself in youre story. and i'm also a young mother of 1 Well, welcome to the the site and i hope you have a wonderfull journey. If you can please add some pictures i would love to see a fellow pagan dread progess (i'm also 2 months natural)Blessings )O(
