Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean/why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.
astrophysics: - This is the study of the physical laws and mechanics of the working and interactions between heavenly bodies. I like to study it because ultimately I seek an answer to how it all works.
celtic history: - The history of a culture of people, most of whom are from the now UK, Ireland, French Coast .. but actually have been as far away as Anatolia. My interest is linguistic and focuses mainly with Irish and Scots Gaelic.
ghosts and hauntings: Believed to be the spirits of the dearly departed who remain after death and wander an area strongly tied to them in life. I find the idea interesting.
kwisatz haderach: - Paul Atreides of Frank Herbert's Dune turns out to be this ascendant godling. I know not why I find it interesting, it seems to have resonated with me on some level at which I am not fully conscious
paganism: - initially, anything outside the mainstream practices of the City of Rome. Now, anyone following a non mainstream religion, but usually limited further to those practices surrounding nature worship. I am a type of pagan, and so like to keep up with the philosophies.
renaissance era - starting around 1500AD .. this was a time where much of the modern world's baseline framework came into being .. and age of enlightenment and understanding .. science and learning... It interests me because of the works of poetry and philosophy from then
shamanism - Spiritual path honouring nature and the spirits of nature, it is mostly associated with people who live close to the land, and can be more prevalent in a society with less developed technology.I, however, am also in part a shaman, so that is my interest. I grew up in nature, and understand it power and gifts.
