KEY NOTE: `BOLD AND BLACK = CREATOR OF THE GROUP `BOLD AND GREEN = RIGHT HAND WOMEN (IN CHARGE IF I'M NOT AROUND) `BOLD AND PURPLE = MEMBERS WE'VE MET `BOLD AND RED = MEMBERS WE'VE YET TO MEET `NO LONGER IN THE GROUP = PEOPLE WHO HAVE LEFT US FOR GOOD OR HAVE BEEN IDLE FOR A LONG TIME FIRST TO JOIN Name: My name is Aiden, but please call me Sage. Age: Sixteen Gender: Female Appearance: I'm 5'3, I have black and blue hair, and I weigh 150lbs. I'm an athletic person for my size, and people consider me to be 'pretty', and I agree with them because I don't consider myself 'normal' or 'ugly'. Beauty lies within. Anywho~ I'm Puero Rican (Hispanic), Italian, and Native American (Cherokee). But when I ask people what they think my nationality is, they say 'White' or 'Italian'. Orientation: I'm bisexual. Short Bio: I grew up in New York my whole life, raised by my mother and father until the age of five. He left, and hasn't talked to me as much since then. I have a lot of brothers in sisters, some I know well, some I don't know at all. I love to read and write, and I hope that some time in life I can publish my own book and make a living through computer technology. I'm a freak when it comes to anime and manga, and I'm easy to influence you into reading them because they're the best stuff to read when you're bored. I love eating Pocky, and if you don't know what they are, I'm going to buy them for you. They're the best stuff on Earth. Anywho~ I'm pretty understanding, and I'm an honest person, though I'm not very nice to people I know don't care about me. People who mess with my friends are my enemies as well. I like learning new things, so I'm up for good, long conversations if someone helps keep them going. I'm very out-going, and I'm always excited about trying new things. Of course, I'm not one to make stupid decisions, like doing drugs or smoking, etc. I try to stay away from people like that. I'm a rocker at heart, and I guess you can say I'm very expressive. If you don't like rock, you won't like my iPod. Haha. I'm random at times, so don't kill me if I just start talking about things non-related to a subject. It doesn't mean I'm bored. I'm just distrated by something shiny. Reason for Joining: I was the creator of Special Effects, and I made it because I wanted to meet people like myself, and were looking to make friends that could possibly be there for us forever. For myself, I've never felt that close bond with anyone really, but when I made SE that changed. I feel more accepted, I feel more loved, and understood. No one judges me. Your Path: I'm Wiccan, currently studying Lycian and Dianic Wicca. I'm also Eclectic. E-mail: omgrawwrro__o@hotmail.com SECOND TO JOIN Name:Cristabel, Vinita Moonflower Age: 17 Gender: Female Appearance: I'm African American, measuring to the height of 5'2.5", I have short (messy at the time being) hair, though I'm growing it out. I have large eye which are brown, a small perky nose, and all together rather average features. I'm skinny, but not unhealthy-ly so. Its just the way I am. My mother and sister say I'm more legs then torso and that I'm not fashionable in the least, but I really don't care. Orientation: Bisexual (though I'm not really sure which way I'll go, so I'll take the middle ground for now) Short Bio: I enjoy reading above all other things, this can range from books on Wiccan and history to crappy romance novels and manga. I consider myself rather open minded, though I can put my foot down when need. I'm closed minded when I'm confronted with closed minded and stupid people, fundies (fundamentalist), stupid republican commentators, and anyone who can not think for themselves or won't try to think there way out of a paper bag. In music, I do whatever I feel like, sometimes its rock other times it pop, I go where my moods and the goddess muse takes me. This is how I feel about most things from fashion to art. I'm semi-outdoor-ish person, which means I'll go out side and do things, but I prefer the inside any day. My subjects range in different things of interest, though I'm not good with math or techno savvy at all. I'm not good with languages, but I get the basic understanding of most of what people say. I not sure what else to say, maybe that I have dreams about my past life, that I'm connected to the water goddess, I'm trying to become an herbalist or at least have a clear understanding of herbs. Oh, I know...as a person I'm pretty loyal, kind, honest, and understanding. I try to see all views and take pride in being able to remain calm where others might freak out. I'm an all around sweet, kind of motherly stern person, who isn't all confidence and self-assured as she appears, but I do look like I have it when the need arises. Knowledge is power, power is great, so handle knowledge with care. Reason for Joining: This is simple, I'm looking to find people who will share what they know as well as hear what I know. I want to meet with people who will understand and bring me balance. This to me is important because to me balance is key and finding people who want to talk about paganism and its effects of their lives will help me to try less of it with my other friends from school. Oh and in all honesty, I'm also trying to find a pagan boyfriend or girlfriend...but that can come later. After I understand the path I'm on better and I actually form some sort of idea about who I am. This could take years, so don't worry...I'm not going to hit on anyone. Your Path: I like to think of myself as an elemental wiccan, which means my goddesses and gods are expressed more in the elementsthen as the goddess hera or the god Zeus. I feel this keeps things simple, allows me to focus on my connect with them, and there connection to me.

I have short black hair with bangs and I workout usually. I have terrible skin care lmao but I don't care anymore. You'll probably recognize me immediately. I tend to wear black, but thats all I see in my wardrobe. Sometimes I'll be spotted wearing my tie dye converses or my boots. Orientation: Asexual Short Bio: I'm an obsessed cat lover (but animal lover generally), an Aries but with Aquarius moon sign, a tree hugger, and a vegan. I guess that's all. I tend to be quiet, but I'm just observant. I also like to read tarot cards and try to interpret dreams. Reason for Joining: Well, this was my first group. I originally tended to be solitary, but then it got quite lonely studying alone. I didn't even know anyone who was Wiccan or Pagan.

Path: Wiccan E-mail: me.stephy@gmail.com EIGHTH TO JOIN Name: Carisa [Kitty] Age: sixteen Gender: Female Appearance: I'm 5'3'' (although I'll tell you 5'4'' in person to feel better). I'm half Costa Rican, half African American so I have this nice brown color, like chocolate. I have dark brown eyes (dark enough to look black), and dark brown hair that's curly when its not straight (obviously). And I have an average shape. (: I wear colors based on my mood. More importantly, I wear colors based on which clothes aren't on the floor and are clean. Orientation: Straight. Or as my friend would say, "straight like an orange." Short Bio: I grew up in this disturbingly Christian family (even though everyone is so messed up, I don't even know why they call themselves Christians) in Brooklyn. Then one day my parents decided to move to the most remote part of Queens and we've been stuck here since I was 9. I have like, 7 brothers and sisters and I'm the youngest, so I have unbounding energy and I'm pretty immature at times. I listen to all sorts of music, but mostly Alternative/Indie and Rock. I'm into everything a psycho teen could be into, from unrequited love to video games. And I love playing/ learning to play instruments. I have a gray and white cat named Shadow, and I call him my familiar. Like Smoke, John Silence's cat. (Eeep! Algernon Blackwood.) I love reading, writing, attempting to draw, attempting to dance, not cleaning my room and riding my bike to strange and distant lands (Long Island). When I'm not doing any of the above, I'm hanging out, on the internet, sleeping, or trapped in awkward family situations. Reason for Joining: I think it's cool that there's a group for teens who are into this in NY. Not to mention I've been looking for one for a while... Your Path: I'm not exactly sure what I am. I like Wicca and Pagan and ...stuff. Specifically, I like Lycian Wicca. And I have a strange love for anything lunar or Greek. I'm just curious about everything, so I'm not really one religion. I'm like a jigsaw puzzle made from pieces of all of them.

hair and brown eyes. People say I have an exotic look and that's
probably because of my hispanic decent. I have olive skin and wear
contacts or glasses. I'm usually wearing jeans and converse sneaks but
I do love dresses too. Orientation: Straight Short Bio: I live in the Bronx, NY with my
mother, three cats and a dog. Around the block lives my grandmother who
is the one that brought spirituality to me. I grew up to a Spanish form
of witchcraft but gained an interest in wicca at a young age. Now I
just incorporate everything I learned all together and have my own set
of beliefs. Anyway I am a college student right now studying Theatre
and minoring in Journalism. It's pretty hard finding others with my
similar interests so I'm finally putting myself out there and taking
risks. I don't want to fall out of my spirituality. There is more to me
than witchcraft as I am a frequent karaoke goer, love ddr, enjoy going
to the park, like trying new things. Reason for Joining: I want to meet others of my
age range who are interested or follow any form of witchcraft. I want
to learn more as well and try new things. My Path: A mixture of wicca, hereditary witchcraft.

appearance. Orientation: Straight Short Bio: Just graduated Forest Hills and gonig to college in the
fall. As far back as I can remember I have always loved the night and
everything associated with it. The insect noise, the full moon, the

always stare up at the moon and talk to the stars. I'm just blabbering

I have a few good friends. I'm a recovering addict and I'm just looking

my same interests and can help me in my journey. Reason for Joining: So I can meet others who share my interests.
Who wont look at me weird when I pick up a book on witchcraft. People I

excited about it.
