Aloha, all!

Just wanted to say a few things, and I suppose this is as good a place as any to say them. I suppose first things first: I'm Syona, average housewife in an average suburbia, leading an average life. At least, on paper. Since this is the Internet, I guess I can let my hair down.
I am a housewife, that much is true, but hardly average. As a kid, I tried being a Christian, which failed spectacularly. After high school, I then moved on to the official role of "Wanderer," and soon settled into Eclectic Wicca. While a far better fit than X-tianity, it still wasn't "home." So, I set off to wandering again. By coincidence (like that ever happens), I met an Asatru priestess(a gythia). Intrigued, I made inquiries. I had found "Home." No matter my mood, my situation, or my wanderings, my Kindred and my Deities (if they exist) have stood beside me. Here I am ten years later, an agnostic atheist Heathen that enjoys studying religions and their cultural impact. I don't know if deities exist, not just mine, but anyone's anywhere, even in the Pleiades. I don't think they do - I'm pretty certain they're a combination of cultural conditioning and neurophysiology. However, mythologies have been around since the invention of the man, and for a reason. The lore of any religion provides a crucial insight into the culture that spawned it. This is part of the reason that cult is the root word for culture.
Well, I'm so tired the font is distorting as I type. G'night, all. - Sy;)
