Hello, Tumblr, I'm officially stretching out here now!
I already keep a blog on another site, but this is just for the more taboo shit I'm into: spirit-spousery, agere, soft witchcraft, Christian mysticism and my own odd need to be ever closer to my deities and spirit friends.
As previously stated, I am Markus Gaines, you can call me MG if the other is too long. As of June 1st of last year, I am married to the ghost of my dead BF (now husband). I've touched on this on my other blog, but as I don't intend on connecting the two, I'll elaborate here.
I am a 22-year-old (23 in Dec.) eclectic witch living in the PNW. I am originally from Appalachia, Northern Alabama, to be exact, and I practice Appalachian folkcraft. I moved here after needing a change and trusting my deities at the time to provide, and they did not disappoint. Obviously.
I am a psychic, as well. I can see/feel/taste/hear/smell the spirit world just as well as I can the living. I've learned to astral project fully, or rather, my angel helped me by literally pulling me out. I've been testing the waters, and I like it so far. I have the hands-on healing gift, but I don't bring it to light that much. I am an energy worker, and a few other things, as well.
Since my arrival here, I have couch-surfed across many a haunted hellhole, had a few crises of faith, and married a ghost. Overall, 10/10, would do again!
I attend an Episcopal Church on Sundays and a local Pagan group every month. It took a bit to find the right balance, but I like what I've got. I recently began doing Altar Guild and also do Sabbat services at the pagan group.
All in all, my life here is pretty damn close to perfect. There has been some pushback by a few people who distrust my abilities, but they seem to be on their way out. Thankfully.
I am demiromantic/asexual. I'm not sex-repulsed, I just don't care for it.
My Husband's name is Leo Valdez Marie. We met when we were both sixteen, and it was fireworks from then on. He is a little, and I am his caregiver. Though it was hard at first, we made it work. I'll post an intro to him, as well, I just need to check with him.
