Basic Info| Name: | S.H. Gilbert |
|---|---|
| Birthdate: | 1956-06-03 |
| Location: | Gainesboro, Tennessee, United States |
| Website: | The Moonglade |
BioBorn to a random configuration of a nuclear free family tree, The Good Dr. Cygnus Paradox was brought up in flagrant disregard of his delicate sensibilities. Upon completing his scholarly pursuits in glitz fixing and rust repairing, he was awarded a Doctorate in Thinkology from Bo Diddly Tech.
Smitten with the Lovely Lynnaea, he handfasted with her and moved to an area the Cherokees consider sacred, the Medicine Hills. They share their lives with friends and family near and about and live in contentment with the wee ones who abide on the hills around them.
As for Steffan, he was born in Washington, D.C. at a tender age. He is an award winning writer, performer, and producer. A second degree Wiccan priest in an Eclectic Celtic tradition, it still costs him a buck for a cup'o'java, just like everyone else. He lives in TN where, with his wife, they work and garden and commune with the wee ones as they are graced to do so.

``A paradox is not a conflict within reality. It is a conflict between
reality and your feeling of what reality should be like.''
- The Feynman Lectures on Physics 1964; Volume III, p.18-19
Richard Feynman
"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
- Autobiography of A Brown Buffalo (1972)
Oscar Zeta Acosta (Hunter S. Thompson)
I am not so lost in lexicography as to forget that words are the daughters of earth, and that things are the sons of heaven.
—Preface to Dictionary (1755)
Samuel Johnson
"We all to some extent meet again and again the same people and
certainly in some cases form a kind of family of two or three or more
persons who come together life after life until all passionate relations
are exhausted, the child of one life the husband, wife, brother, sister
of the next. Sometimes, however, a single relationship will repeat
itself, turning its revolving wheel again and again."
– A Vision (1925)
William Butler Yeats

You are most at home in the subtle realms of existence, and since you can't be there all the time, you communicate with spirits regularly to keep at least one foot on higher planes. As you progress, more and more of your interaction is based on planes other than the physical, and while this can draw strange glances from those who overhear, for the most part you are able to blend in and go unnoticed. It's a shame, really, because you have depths therefore unseen by your peers.

You scored as Celtic Pantheonic Pagan, Your answers leaned very close to that of the Celtic Pantheon. Very popular now among pagans, the Celtic Gods seem to draw those who are sensitive and insightful, but also very passionate about their beliefs. Many Pagan Holidays are named for this pantheon and here is where you'll find many stories on Horned God, Green Man, and Druids. You likely either have been or want to visit Stonehenge one day. Many Arthurian legnds include references to the Celtic faith, as well.
