Hello staff and members of the board,
It seems that YouTube is a good advertiser for this forum being, of course, how I found it. My craft name is Zandra Amara, which is Greek for eternally beautiful healer of humanity, and this is also the name that I have gone by in the vampire, otherkin, and magickal communities. You may call me Z for short if you like. I consider myself to be a vampiric blood drinker and a fae, which are separate in their own right. I have been poking around the OVC off and on for around seven years. I feel that I have been awakened most of my life although I grew up in a strict conservative christian based home that led me to take a bit of time in accepting what I am. I have been married more than five years to my wonderful madman who continues to be my rock of support. I have four cats, and I love them all very dearly as I would my own children. I try to encompass all faiths while being very spiritual but not religious. I am a self dedicated witch of over five years, and I am an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church. I am also a vegetarian of over five years, and yes, I consume blood. Becoming a strict vegetarian was a choice of mine on many levels including spiritual reasons and the ethical treatment of animals. I am an in the coffin vamp and prefer not to disclose what I am to most people unless I trust them deeply other than within the online communities. I do physically consider myself human per se, but mentally, spiritually, and need wise among other things, I'm very much far from it. I do not care much for labels and fail to fall into one particular category other than being called a freak. I get told I'm my own breed, but I beg to differ. I am an educated person and an adamant seeker of knowledge. Some of my interests include mythology, anthropology, law, justice, world religions, history, sociology, occult and esoteric studies, herbalogy, geology, tarot, astrology, art, music, film, painting, photography, etc. I have a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Sociology with some emphasis on Anthropology. I have been involved and still have a deep interest in pursuing social work. I am a counselor to those that ask it of me, and I am almost always willing to have an open ear to those in need as long as they refrain from rude behaviors towards me. I am very honest and open minded, but I tend to not hesitate in calling things as I see them or just walking away. I am true to myself and constantly question my reality. I have multiple aspects and linger in the shadows being a big time lurker, hehe, where I usually prefer to observe instead of interacting. Different parts of me are misanthropic in nature whereas in other aspects I'm a social butterfly, or fly on the wall for that matter. I am a strong supporter of equal and civil rights as well as the rights of animals. I am open to questions about myself, albeit, I may be choosy to what I prefer to respond.
I have a broad spectrum of musical tastes, and I am nefariously known as a hater for a lot of things from the music industry. Some of the musicians on my play list include: Acid Bath, Alice in Chains, Barry White, Bauhaus, Beethoven, Butthole Surfers, Cake, Carl Orf, Christian Death, Cypress Hill, Danny Elfman, David Bowie, Dead Kennedys, Edith Piaf, Ella Fitzgerald, Electric Hellfire Club, Emilie Autumn, Garbage, Genitorturers, Henry Rollins, ICP, Iggy Pop, Inkubus Sukkubus, Jack Off Jill, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Joy Division, Kittie, KMFDM, Lou Reed, Louis Armstrong, Maria Callas, Ministry, Mozart, Murderdolls, My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult, Nick Cave, Nirvana, Queen of the d**ned Soundtrack, Peaches, Pink Floyd, Rage Against the Machine, Rammstein, Rob Zombie, Scarling, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, Snake River Conspiracy, Sublime, Switchblade Symphony, Tchaikovsky, Tool (old stuff), The Cult, The Cure, The Doors, The Dresden Dolls, The Pixies, The Slits, The Streets, Three 6 Mafia, Type O Negative, Voltaire, Wagner, Weird Al, Wesley Willis among many others....
