Hello to all. My online handle is BookofWisdom, and much of my online interactions happen via tumblr, where I go by the same username. You're welcome to refer to me by pretty much however you would like, though I generally prefer that my online handle be used if I have not intentionally included my real name.
I am a Canaanite polytheist, focusing mostly on the city of Ugarit and the religious records found there-in. I have been involved in this for about three years now, but am quite a people-person and have spent a good deal of my online time trying to slowly carve out community for polytheists involved with deities from Ancient Near Eastern pantheons. We are often so few and far between that the idea of finding someone local is almost laughable, and even the internet does not always have a place for us (with the exclusion of the Kemetic community, which is well within our category but successful enough on their own to have their own board. )
I am most certainly of a historical, recon-based bend and am very much in constant awe over scientific discoveries. I am not a magic user and have no contact with deities.
Outside of my religious practices: I am a member of the SCA (600-1600AD recreation group), have enjoyed swing dance in the past, am not afraid to throw my hand in with LARP and tabletop role-play games, and have a family member active in my local political scene.
For those of you looking to see if I would be someone you would be comfortable going to about issues in relation to neuroatypical situations or would like to know my sexual and gender identities, hopefully the following information will assist. I am a cis-gendered heteroflexible female (I know it's a somewhat silly sexual identity, but I am so rarely attracted to women that I don't consider myself bisexual) with ADHD, chronic depression, and mild chronic anxiety. My brother and father are both on the autism spectrum, and I have experience with individuals with things anywhere from eating disorders to dissociative identity disorder. Please know that I am not an expert on any of this and cannot necessarily fix anything, but I just want you to know that it is safe to approach me with pretty much anything and not have to worry about my panicking or treating you with disdain.
Please feel free to contact me here, or at my tumblr, any time that you would like.
