She sings, plays piano and euphonium. While she has only recently discovered paganism, she feels that she has been pagan her whole life. She grew up in the country of upstate NY near the foot hills of the Adirondacks. During summer, she would frolick in the hundred acre woods that her parents owned, never feeling fear and often camping out there. This love of life and nature has been carried through-out her life and into her music. A domestic witch, or kitchen witch, she believes in the healing powers of love and life. She is currently focusing on simply graduating, but still actively participates in LUPO and was the creator of this webpage. Feel free to visit her homepage and sign her guest book!

I have NO affinity for East. Date of Graduation: June 2004 (hopefully) Religion: Eclectic Pagan How long have you been practicing? This is an extremely difficult question for me to answer. I became a Pagan rather gradually, but it was really just finding the right religion to fit my world view. I was raised as an agnostic/atheist and first became interested in Paganism when I was almost 12 years old. Years later, I defined myself as an agnostic, but my beliefs were very similar to the beliefs I hold today. The first ritual I ever participated in was in December 1998. Only then did I begin to see myself as a Pagan, although my definition continues to expand to this day. Unusual talents, skills, or tricks: I fight two-handed broadsword. Really I do … I am a white rope in the Western Circle of Swordfighters (www.westerncircle.org). I think that just about sums up my unusual abilities. When you have any spare time, what do you most like to do? What do you most like to do when you're alone? Any hobbies? Hmm … I generally listen to music, read a good book, or just daydream. I am also a bit addicted to watching movies. The other thing I tend to do is sit and obsess over beautiful men (generally the type I have never met and will never meet).   Full Name: Kathleen Amelia Raschko Prefered Name: KT Major: General Music Education Birthday: July 9, 1982 Astrological Sign: Cancer Favorite Direction: North and West Date of Graduation: June 2004 Religion: Animism How long have you been practicing: 9 years Unusual talents, tricks, or skills: I can fold a letter into perfect thirds, and I'm a good cook.   | Home | Information, Meetings, & Events | On-line Rituals | Member Profiles | | Samhain 2001 | Beltane - Circle Sanctuary | Bjorklunden 2001 | Links |
