Since I am lurking here occasionally...
Spiritual paths - agnostic atheism. I don't believe 'spirit' is a separate thing from brain and body, but may be a synonym for 'mind'. Nevertheless I can perceive the roots of belief - I just interpret them pragmatically.
Main spiritual interests - Taking 'spirit' as synonymous with 'mind', I am interested in those roots and the sometimes peculiar shoots and branches.
Do you belong in a spiritual group/coven?- No.
Happiest when - Alone in woods or fields, or on the shore, or walking the upland bog.
Why I am - Trying to be honest with myself first and foremost.
I am fast approaching the Age of the Crone, and therefore am full of Crone knowledge, which is the accumulated learning, experience and understanding of humanity most ordinary old women have gathered in over a lifetime, which has been and is either revered, ignored, ridiculed, despised or respected according to time, place, circumstance and interlocutors. In another time and place, I'd have been a sort of hedge witch, I imagine, since I have good knowledge of ordinary nature; what is good to eat that is wild and how to find and prepare them, what plants or other naturally occurring substances can help or hurt in the absence of usually better modern medicine, where and how wild animals live and quite a lot about them.
