I'm still working out how to drive this blogging thing, so I'll make this post about my background. This based largely on the info I've provided over at http://qabalist.org/q-blog
To begin with, Gnwmythr is (an approximation of) my spirit name, and came to me in a dream. The G is silent, so it is pronounced "new-myth-ear".
A nearly 50year old female, my spiritual history includes:
- Tibetan Buddhism (the major influence on me until recently - I like the ethics, the breathing exercises and the chants),
- past life regressions,- mirrorology (which, in my words, is turning negatives around by seeing positives such as the potential to learn/grow from unpleasant experiences),
- spiritualism (where I learned a great deal about healing; I also learned about mediumship [although I don’t do readings, as I’ve seen too many people become - in my opinion - too dependent on those rather than taking personal responsibility and developing and/or using their own abilities, including the ability to think]),
- rescue of earthbound/lost souls (which I started in my spiritulist days)
- shamanism,
- Qabbalah
- Ancient Egypt,
- Wicca (my girlfriend and I had a pagan handfasting for our committment ceremony, and
- I have celebrated regular full moon circles and the solstices for quite a few years).
I’ve been re-evaluating that mix, including my growing interest in the Goddess and Celtic traditions, following my attendance at the first (Australian) National Queer Spirituality Conference in November, 2003. I am currently exploring Druidry (including trying to learn Welsh - my maternal grandmother in my birth family is of Welsh heritage), and finding this extremely rewarding.
In my everyday life I’m a civil engineer designing wastewater treatment plants - and am pleased at the growing interest in recycling. Other influences include sailing, and interests in human rights and my various families. I currently live in the State of Victoria, Australia, near the (State capital) city of Melbourne.

As a final note, the photo is from the trip I referred to in my post "Living Future Dreams Now", and was taken near Ararat (on the "return" journey, which was actually to northern Victoria).
