BAYOWOLF:
Well lets see, where do I start. My real name is Todd Dietz,
Bayowolf being
my "Wiccan" name (for all of you saying "that is
not how you spell it") that is the
spelling for my purposes. It has nothing to do with the novel.
I own a Landscape
Management Business in Lakeland, Florida and I enjoy singing (professionally
and
non-professionally), cooking, and being the best husband that
I can be to my
wonderful wife "Erzsebet" (also her Wiccan name).
The Wiccan path or religion that I follow is a combination of
"Gardnerian Wica"
and "Seax" or "Saxon Wica".
(Wica being the original "Old Religion" spelling).
I haven't been able to find any good info on "Saxon Wica"
on the internet so I will try
and give you a brief description. This tradition founded in 1973
by Raymond Buckland,
incorporates Saxon lore. Covens have co-ed open rituals and are
either performed robed
or skyclad. Buckland developed this tradition without breaking
his Gardnerian oath.
You see, Buckland was a protege of the late Dr. Gerald Gardner.
This particular path
Buckland refers to as "Seax Wica" was actually a new
denomination of the craft, and is
not vastly different than the original "Gardnerian
Wica". For further info on this I would
read Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft.
ERZSEBET:
My birth name is Dawn Benson, though now it is Dietz by
marriage. I have been
initiated "Erzsebet" as my "Wiccan" name.
My heritage has always been of Scott
decent (Hamilton), my mother and her family being originally from
the low lands of
Scotland. This is where Faery Wicca (which is the
path that I follow) and the Celtic way
of life was celebrated.
I have worked at many jobs, all of them being in the service industry.
Nothing has
caught my fancy as yet. Having a great interest in people, I would
someday like to help
the misguided to a new life. (Sounds corny I know)
I like to read and to do things that are creative and I have a
great interest in the
unknown. I do hope that would explain why my personal home page
is pertaining to
vampires and such. I do have some experience with reading Tarot
Cards and I am also
learning Rune Magick.
The one thing that is important is to treat each and everyone
with the respect that a
mother would and life will be healthy and happy. Blessed Be.
