Magickal Name Change

Merry Meet!

You may have seen that I changed my name from Avalon WindDancer to Amiilya Dragonis. I've been Avalon for about a year & it suited me well. Or so I thought anyway. I came up with Amiilya Dragonis earlier this year while I was a member of another online Wiccan school. Amiilya is a dark fantasy that I have stuck in my head for Lord knows what reason. She is a Duchess of the Night, her mother a Noble Lady Vampire, her father a Regal Lord Dragon shapeshifter. So, Amiilya is very old & very beautiful. She is a vampire & can shapeshift into a dragon when is necessary. She is a healer & seductress. She is everything I wish I was or everything I think I am inside my head anyways. I've had some squabbles with my husband this week. Perhaps this is why my darker side is coming out. I've always had a love for vampires, gothic things, alternative music, that kinda thing. We live in a rather small town, he's a normal guy, we have our kids in a very small school. I've tried to be the good girl, Donna Reed, PTA mom, Holly Homemaker, tried with every fiber of my being, but it just ain't workin'!! My rebellious tyraids are very limited to red hair dye & a big nose ring, HUMPF! I've always followed the "good" or "light" path with my spirituality, too afraid or maybe too inexperienced to fool around with the shadow self, nocturnal magicks. I don't want to get myself into any trouble, you see! I'm starting to believe that that's exactly whats been missing. I need to give in to my darker side. The side that is totally intrigued by vampires & their romantic reality. The side that is comforted by the blanket of darkness. For without the darkness we could never experience the light! I'm not saying I'm heading into the forest of evil here, just that maybe it's okay to indulge in the little dark fantasies that are primal to my being, an it harm none, of course.

Blessings!

Comment by Tony Jenkins on July 2, 2009 at 2:16pm: You can be gothic, Pagan, and still one of the most positive people you could ever know. If you knew me, you would know that I've done a few of these things myself. I remember one time on route 9 in Hoopeston, I stopped my car and got out, wearing my bondage pants, and two layers of shirts, had my face in white powder foundation and my black eyeshadow, eyeliner and lipstick on. The reason why was that a guy needed help pushing his car. I was more than glad to help. In return on the way back to my car I did get hollered at by a car of girls. Haha, it made up for it as a reward I think.

I think sometimes people are afraid that all darkness equals evil. On a few occasions, we're met with stories of the black knight actually being the good guy. That's a concept to form a story with to explain to people of today. Or take a look at even The Munsters, or The Addams Family. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark too. These things and more are positive, yet also from the dark. I can understand where you come from.

Sure, I'm not as into the goth side of things as I used to be a few years ago. I'm older now, but from a literary and artistic point of view, especially poetically and musically, with a dash of film appreciation, I can still relate to your blog here. Don't worry dear. I think you'll still find acceptance around here just fine. It may be a little bit of a battle here and there, but we'll pull through and you'll see you still have a family here.

Blessings,
Tony
