Hæ and welcome to our mad forum, Quirkwood !
Your avatar is so beautiful ** Is that Kieren from "In the flesh"?

Hello heiteru
It is! He's the best person ever my spirit animal such a great character.
You caught me off guard there, I didn't think I'd find an "In the Flesh" fan so soon. And you recognized him from my tiny drawing! Now I'm all proud.

Yah, he's a sweet bun Well, this series is quite popular, and your drawing skills are clearly very good, so...

Welcome to Glory and Quirkwood!

I'll gladly share some silly drawings. Róisín, I'd share my thesis as well but it's in Italian, since I wrote it in Italy.

Hi Quirkwood! I can read some italian (it's very similar to my native language) and your work seems so so so interesting, so if you want to share it I would be more than happy to read it. And about posting your art, I'm quite shy about it too but the people in here are really sweet and suportive.
Edit: I saw you already posted something!!

Hi Abprallen, JacobThomsen and Róisín!

I'll gladly share some silly drawings. Róisín, I'd share my thesis as well but it's in Italian, since I wrote it in Italy. Still, I'd be happy to talk about the history of witchcraft with anyone who shares the interest, learn something new from you guys and give/receive book recommendations

It'd be great if you could share your thesis! It sounds really interesting.

Hi yankai! Nice, if you speak Spanish you surely can read Italian. Also, I've read that many people in Argentina speak Italian as a second language, is it true? If you want, I can send you a link to my thesis. It would be nice to discuss it with people who have found out different stuff as well, because of course it's all just hypothetical and the sagas are practically endless and many different authors are still ripping each other's faces off screaming "It is shamanism!" "Never, it is NOT shamanism!" and I don't really know if that matters at all.

It'd be great if you could share your thesis! It sounds really interesting.

I can send you the link as well, if you can read Italian : )   Otherwise, a book which has really helped me get an overall idea (but merely an OVERALL idea, and it needs to be handled with care because it's pretty opinionated) is Neil Price's "The Viking Way". I think it just got a new edition. It also has a big part on Sami magic from Finland and its possible influences on Norse practitioners. It is amazing!

[Róisín]

Quirkwood, my Italian is rusty but not non-existent, so I'd love to try reading your thesis, and I know a few Strega (the Australian Pagan community is quite ecumenical, we nearly all talk to and help one another). We have Ásatrú here, as well as many different styles of witch.

[Quirkwood]

Róisín, I've sent you a message.
A pagan community? Really interesting! I miserably FAIL at anything with the root "commun-" in it (community, communication... Holy Communion?) but this seems worth investigating

Oh, and yankai and Shine, if you really are willing to read that thesis (be warned, it is not necessarily as exciting as the title sounds!) just send me a private message and I'll gladly link it (:

[Róisín]

Got it, thanks! It will take me awhile, but looks interesting.

And yeah, Australia has a large and quite active Pagan Community. Try looking up 'Mount Franklin Pagan Gathering', 'Mylor English Ale' or Australian Wiccan Conference' to find out about public events. There are also a number of solitary practitioners, and some groups who want nothing to do with anyone outside their own traditions. It takes all kinds, I guess.

Hello hello and welcome to the forum, Glory and Quirkwood! (I may be months late when i finally do, but I will always greet all newbies)

[Caro]

Hey people! Nice to meet you all.

I'm Caro. I'm a guy located In East Finland by the beautiful and not yet troll-filled Saimaa. I was born in the first year of the new millennium, 2001. That makes me part of generation Z! I speak English and Finnish fluently and enough Swedish to get a passing grade, which is not a whole lot. My religious beliefs are very confusing, but I guess I'm a finnish pagan, similar to Lalli.

I've been reading SSSS since... last Saturday. I can't wait to have my one week anniversary! I hang out at the #ssss chat from dawn 'till dusk pretty much every day. I also draw fanart! I read multiple webcomics, but SSSS is my current favorite. I also am and have been in many different fandoms.

I would describe myself as a mix of Lalli and Emil, both in the way I look and my personality. However, Reynir is best boy. There is no debate over that.

I've babbled on long enough, I think. Again, nice to meet all of you! I really look forward to my time in this fandom.

[Athena]

Caro, welcome! (I, too, am part of generation Z - 2002) I hope you like it here, and I can't wait to see more of your art. (and reynir is the best boy)

[heiteru]

Hæ and welcome, Caro!
Appreciate and take care of your youth, a representative of the Generation Z! Don't have time to blink - and you're no longer fashionable!

[Caro]

Thanks, guys!  I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy my time here ~

[GeiYin]

Caro, welcome, welcome!
You gonna experience great time in waiting for new page each boring day, and also there will be chapter breaks!!! But we're here to survive during them together, so welcome on board!
