Who am I? I call myself Flidais Runs-With-Wolves. This isn't the name given to me since birth, mind you (it's actually Colleen,
if you must know), but I answer to this within the Pagan community. To be honest, I did not think too long and hard when I
chose this name. It just made sense to me on a subconscious level. Despite this, there is meaning behind it:
Flidais: Celtic Goddess of the forests and animals. Consid-
ered to be the female counterpart of the
Horned
God, Cernunnos (He is in no way connected to
Satan, whom we Pagans do not believe
in.)
Runs-With-Wolves: Ummm... I like wolves. ;o)
I was born in a New Hampshire hospital,
along with my twin brother, in December of 1980. We kids (an older brother, my twin brother, and I) were raised Roman Catholic
by our mother. My dad was an atheist, so he wanted nothing to do with the religious aspects of our family. To make an EXTREMELY
long story short, I began to study the Old Religion at the age of 15. Christianity didn't do much for me at that point in
time. I've been honoring the Great Mother since then. She's been very kind to me, I must say.
Well, here I am. I was getting a little mouse-happy with some Photo House program on the computer, so this is the result...
the evil faerie. ;o)

These are a few of my favorite things
Favorite Movies: anything and everything by Kevin Smith. The man is a bloody genius! "Memento" since it's simply ingenius!
There's also "Bottle Rocket," a really, really amazing and funny independent film starring Owen Wilson and his brother, Luke
Wilson. **sigh**
"Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream" were very, very cool movies. They aren't for the faint of heart, though.
I'm also gonna
take the nonconformist stand and say that "Minus Man" was a beautiful movie.
"Apocalypse Now" -I'd like to thank a certain
professor at a certain college for making a certain class watch this particular movie... ;o)
