Jade Tiger's Thoughts and Paths

I have been on one strange journey, this lifetime. I have been here, there and everywhere inbetween. I have been everyone and no one, I have had an incredible life, my life has been extraordinary - blessed and cursed and won. I have walked many paths and have experienced many things. I am a continuous seeker of knowledge and all things spiritual and nothing spiritual to me is considered wrong or right, it just IS, and I am as free to express it or keep it shrouded as anyone else. I have no need to be an UP IN YOUR FACE practitioner, those days of being an angry young woman are long gone and I am glad to see them go. I am comfortable in myself, I know not what path I am taking, but I am confident I will get there regardless. I am a regular practitioner of magick of all sorts and from all around the world. My kitchen is my workspace and while I don't consider myself confined to being a kitchen witch or a hedge witch, it is my sanctuary.

I have been an experienced Tarot card reader now for over 20 years, even earning the title of St. Petersburg Times featured Love Psychic. I have done readings, performed ghost walks, I have been asked to appear on television and taping sessions for HBO, I grew up in one of the most active and haunted houses in Northern California, I have been an active member of the UC Davis and the Sacramento State University Parapsycholocial department since I was 14 and helped solve my first missing persons case when I was 16. I am a medium and a clairaudient, meaning i can hear things and I can even smell those who have crossed over very strongly when they want me to.

I am also an accomplished artist and sculptor, working with Marvel and DC Comics and working on projects for The Simpsons, Tenacious D, Beck and Tori Amos. I owned my own store and gallery in St. Petersburg and have had my art featured at different galleries nationally. I have worked in broadcast as well as print and sculpture, and I am looking forward to meeting others who share my love of the craft, as well as art, folk art or fine art, and just being around people like myself.

One word of caution about me, which seems to go completely against what we are about, is cats. I do not like them not one bit, not one iota. Not one, not ever. While I think they are pretty animals and I identify very strongly with tigers, which is odd, I do not like housecats at all, not now, not ever, and there is no sign of this changing. I would never harm one, but at the same time, I do not seek them out nor do I like them in my space at all. Must be a past life thing, I am guessing, but I thought you all should know that about me before sending me pics of cats. There! Got that off my chest. I am ready to meet you all and look forward to making the most of this site and network with others who are like myself, and learning as much as I can from each of you, and hopefully, imparting some of my knowledge or experience in return.

Blessed Be, and much love
