So I guess it might be best to say that I'm more interested in writing than in reading.
I have an interest in fairy lore and various pagan spiritual folklore. I recently wrote an instrumental piece called "Taliesin's Dust". No lyrics for that one. But I do write lyrical songs as well. I write about, and have created, an entire paradigm of spiritual figures, based mostly on Celtic, Welsh, and sometimes ancient Greek archetypes of Gods, Goddesses, Angels, and Faeries, etc.
I don't think of any of my writings as "religious" but they certainly contain "spiritual" concepts, magick, ethical, and humanitarian issues. I have never published anything, nor have I ever tried to do so. But that may change though.
I also have an interest in painting, especially faeries and fantasy scenes related to the mystical paradigm that is the focal point of all my work.
On these forums I'll probably be posting mostly in the poetry and music section. I have almost no interest in standard novels. Some stories I have enjoyed are things like The Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter, Tales of Camelot, A Beautiful Mind, and other fantasy and human interest type of stories. Mostly I watch those in movie form rather than reading them from books though.
So I guess I enjoy the stories, but not so much reading.
I do have an immense library of book in my home. Although none of them are fiction books. Most are on science and mathematics. The closest I come to reading fiction is when I read books on various scientific theories that are so speculative that they can indeed be considered to be fiction at this point in time.
I do enjoy science fiction stories too, and I have always been a Star Trek fan, as well as a Doctor Who fan. But again, I prefer to actually watch those as movies rather than reading them in books. Oh yeah, I do read a lot of books on witchcraft, magick, and Eastern Mystical philosophies. To me these aren't exactly "fiction", they are more of a historical account of how humanity has imagined spirituality to be. So they represent the psyche of humanity in a spiritual and historical sense albeit often conveyed in a spirit of fantasy parables.
So anyway, that's the gist of my interests in books and writing.
So hello to fellow writers and story lovers.
