-The Furrless Oddity
Behind Marah~Fae-
My RL name's Persephone. Yes, really Persephone,
my mother gave me the name at birth. It comes from Greek Mythology, Persephone
is the Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld. She is the child
of Demeter the Earth Goddess, and is kidnapped by her uncle, Hades (God
of the Underworld) to be his Queen. Needless to say, living with a name
like this has made me a little fascinated by Mythos. I also find myself,
like Persephone the Goddess, to be a very dualistic being. My emotions
range from one extreme to the other and I love the Day as much as the Night,
Summer as much as Winter, Spring as much as Fall. I've been drawing and
frolicking within the realm of my imagination for as long as I can remember...
though, school did a good job of trying to destroy that part of me rather
than cultivating it as they could, and should have. I've been a furry all
my life as well, though until I got online around 1995/1996 I didn't know
there was a whole sub-culture of furries out there waiting for me to find
and befriend. I've been spiritual all my life as well, having an innate
love for the Magick of Creation. I was raised Roman Catholic, which was
fine up until the dogma started to get to me and I realised that I didn't
believe in that 'God'. Then I began to seek out other faith systems. I
found many that made just as much sense (if not more to me) and began to
develop my own personal set of beliefs. If you're curious about what those
are, drop into Harmony House sometime. I have felt close to faerie and
magick all my life and it has expressed it's self greatly though my art.
I've come to look at my art, not only as a way for me to express myself
and share my experiences with the world... but also a way for me to learn
about myself. It also provides me with a constructive use for my emotions...
whatever hue of that spectrum they may be. I love Nature and all of Creation.
I love reading, writing, web building, singing, dancing, star gazing, hiking,
good movies and music, good food and good wine (in moderation ;o)~ and
a wide variety of other things. I am a 24 yr old single (by choice) mother
of one who is presently residing in the south eastern USofA. I have a pet
bunny whom I love almost as dearly as my cub and a small circle of very
beloved friends whom I adore most exceedingly. I pray I bring half as much
light to them as they do to me.
