Hello there! I'm a 37 year old woman living in North Carolina. I'm into New Age, Pagan & occult things, music, drinking hot teas, watching Doctor Who & Torchwood... I'm also addicted to playing CoH (City Of Heroes).

Please don't send me anything Christian, I've tried that (for many years) and it's not something that I believe.

Gods/goddesses (especially Odin/Norse & Inanna/Sumerian), postcards of trees, old keys (especially with 3-ring bow/clover design), tarot cards (even loose cards would be great), mix/themed cds, bookmarks (store-bought or really nice hand-made ones), runes, teas that are sealed in bags & amulets/talismans/charms (from a store or hand-made).

I also would love Pagan/occult/New Age things (especially modern books printed within the last 10 years or so).

And I really like to be introduced to new books... Especially adult & YA sci-fi/fantasy.

Read, watch movies that make me think, drink hot tea, watch movies/shows that feature the actor Vincent Kartheiser, listen to music, play City of Heros, munch on good quality chocolate, visit flea markets & yard sales & take photographs.

The Forgotten, Stay, Another Day In Paradise, The Matrix Trilogy, Prayer Of The Rollerboys, The Butterfly Effect, What The Bleep Do We Know, Gia, The Others, Identity, Johns, Crime & Punishment In Suburbia, L.I.E., Party Monster, Donnie Darko, The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, Harry Potter (1-5), Vanilla Sky, American Heart, The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, Star Wars (new/old), Mysterious Skin, The Guilty + many more.

I really love movies that make me think, keeps me guessing and pulls me into the story & makes me care about what happens to the characters.

I enjoy nearly every kind of music and love swapping mix CDs! I prefer to send & receive 'themed' CDs like "Drinking Herbal Tea", "Reliving The 1980s", "Music To Scream Along With", etc...

Favorites in no particular order - Modern folk, Indian (from India, not so much Bollywood though), goth, industrial/dark electronica/futurepop, indie, ethereal voice, rock/pop from the 1960-current, current hard rock/alternative, hair metal from the 80s, pagan, ambient, space, trip hop, trance, spoken word, anything with a sitar, old reverb ... really, the list just goes on and on. Oh & I especially enjoy songs sung by female artists!

Music DISLIKES - New/modern country (country-rock from the 70s/80s is okay though), really hard/angry/violent rap, music for children & anything Christian.

--- Just A Note ---

When I make a mix with older songs (60s/70s/80s) I try to put a few 'well known' songs on there but mostly I go for those 'lost classics', in other-words, songs that you might have heard long ago but that aren't played to death on the radio now. Those are the ones that I usually like to be surprised with myself & I hope you feel the same way too! :)

I love reading!

Fiction I especially like - adult & YA sci-fi/fantasy, psychological thrillers & weird off-beat paranormal novels (Neil Gaiman, Simon R. Green, Kim Harrison).

Non-fiction I like - interesting autobiographies of people with dysfunctional lives, books about astral travel/OBEs (out of body experiences), reincarnation, the goddess Inanna (Sumerian) & god Odin (Norse), the Akashic Records, anything dealing with the occult and/or magic & information about runes.

I like trying new teas & enjoy swapping tea bags. I only like individually wrapped & sealed tea bags, no loose teas please.

Teas I like - green (especially toasted), black/red, chai, rooibos, Darjeeling.

Flavors I like - Bergamot (my favorite), cinnamon, ginger, clove, lemon, orange, tangerine, spiced & herbal.

Brands I like - Tazo, Nordqvist (Finnish), Twinings & Choice Organic. I also like obscure American brands & any foreign brands.

I do not like these flavors - peach, any kind of berry, mint, liquorice & cherry.

I love postcards. I've been collecting them for years. I have so many of the typical "tourist" ones I'm NOT collecting them any longer. But I would LOVE postcards of - nature scenes, beautiful landscapes, anything with snow or ice, any kinds of trees (especially old trees), any pagan/occult/new age ones, any kinds of animals in their natural habitat (no zoo ones or silly ones with words), pretty art reprints, etc.

I also do NOT collect handmade postcards. They tend to get damaged in the Post, which is sad and I hate to see someone's work get destroyed like that.

I like the perforated ones from books just the same as the ones that are loose. And it doesn't matter to me if they are unwritten on in an envelope or written & stamped.
