Our Gossmere Campsite

Agh I’m two days late!

Hullo! I’m Ignatius, or Iggy, whichever you like best!

I was born here in Georgia and I’ve kinda just lived here for forever. I have moved around Georgia but I’ve never lived outside my state.

When I first joined, it was only a couple weeks back, I was sorted into Thornmoth and I agreed with that as it was the kind of scholars of magiqverse. I then retook the test and got Gossmere a week or so back and completely agreed with it, but I double checked it with some friends of mine to see if they thought it fit.

A little talk about my wanderings and my self I guess. I’ve seen some bad, bad shit, heard about even more, and done a few myself (I never did anything horrible, just a couple fights here and there) I’m not gonna deny that or pretend I’m a saint but even though it bothers me I don’t let it stop me. This year’s been quite possibly the best and worst year. In terms of emotional and physical strain this year has pushed me to my very limits. I’ve gone from my father sadly passing away to being selected for so many amazing things.

My life at the moment revolves around rotc and being the Head Medic for a Raider team in the before mentioned rotc program. I enjoy the outdoors but it truly depends on how the days been.

The farthest I’ve been from home was Chicago and I found out there that big cities are not my thing as I am way to paranoid. Sorry if my post was rather depressing, I went for honesty! I hope you guys enjoyed it or at least found it informative. I wish everyone a goodnight and I’ll hopefully see you guys tomorrow!

Hi everyone!

I’m new here as of yesterday! My name is Morgan or Morgana, either is fine :blush:

I’m a psychology student at a university in England, I just finished my final exam today and should be graduating in July. I also work as a waitress (super boring but it’s temporary until I can find work in psychological services). I volunteer as an information and advice worker at a local mental health charity alongside my university work. I’m hoping to train as a clinical psychologist or gain any kind of work in mental health services!

I was sorted to Gossmere and I resonated with it straight away, my friends also agreed with the sorting and I suppose it lines up with my work in mental health!

In my spare time I practice Wicca, play D&D, do cross stitch, draw and body paint! I’ll be running a one off D&D session as a DM next week which is super exciting! I’m also currently working on some art work of my current character who is a Moon Elf Cleric :blush:

I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone!

As for small things that make my day better: I love lavender oil and I use it on my pillows and as a diluted spray in my hair! It reminds me of home and helps me with my anxiety :blush:

Question for the next poster: what’s your favourite animal and why?

Welcome to the guild, @Connielass, @Ignatius and @MorganaMagica! Thanks for sharing. Ignatius, I’m very sorry to hear about your father’s passing.

It sounds like a lot of us have medical and musical backgrounds, which is really fitting based on the guide’s description of Gossmere!

Hello I’m Guddrik. I am an estimator for an electrical contractor. I felt a great resonance in being sorted to Gossmere. I have always loved being part of a community and helping others. I have been all over the southeast and made some trips up north. I am looking forward to a trip to the Gtand Canyon within the next year or two with some old buddies.

I really enjoy helping others learn any skillset I can. I have taught Tae Kwon Do and tutored math all the way up to college level Calculus.

I enjoy reading, video games, and roleplaying games like D&D with most of my experience being in 5e D&D. I also enjoy riding bikes and going on hikes

As to my favorite animal, it is a wolverine. I was a small kid growing up and I thought it was cool that a wolverine could run off wolves and bears which are much larger than it.

My question is who is your favorite music artist and what is your favorite song by them?

Hi all, I’m Sabine! Currently a student of illustration, I don’t have time to do much else or spread my wings particularly far, though I’m sure that will change in future!

I love reading, writing, playing DnD, drawing and a sprinkle of other things! My circle keeps getting bigger every day, it’s an odd feeling, but one I welcome. It’s good to be a part of the many! I used to be quite the team leader, these days I help out in more subtle ways.

My favourite artist and songs change daily, but for the past few weeks I’ve been torn between Hozier and Glass Animals, and the songs Be and Take A Slice (the latter of which has explicit lyrics for those of you wanting to search it)

For the next poster, if you could go anywhere in the world right now, instantly, where would you go, and what would you bring?

Hello,

I’m Osprey. I love games, studying Norse runes, and I’m about to start school to become an MA. I’m pretty nervous whenever I try to join in with a group but I’m also excited to get to know everyone. I also doodle a lot. (Seriously, a lot of doodling)

If I were to go anywhere in the world…I’m not fully sure. I would probably go to a country that comes from a Norse heritage because I would love to learn more about it and I’ve never felt fully right being where I’m at. As for what I’d bring with me I’d probably bring general necessities and I’d try to see if I could drag my partner along too.

For the next person: What is your favorite topic of study?

Hello, I’m onward. I love to play any kind of game from any generation. I’ve also loved reading and learning about any mythology. This is my first time in a forum so still trying to get used to it, though so far its kinda fun.

As for the question of my favorite topic. I love mythology, I’ve been reading up on a couple for a few years trying to learn all the major and minor dieties. I started loving this with a book by rick riordan "the lightning thief. "

For the next person: what was the first book you feel in love with?

~Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!~
I would like to preface this saying that all the guilds are rad but to me Gossmere was always the one I felt the most affinity too. I definitely have traits of the others but this guild just feels like home in all the best ways.

I also love board games and DnD my dudes. :herb:So because I have a hectic schedule I have mant different campaigns with different friends spanning many different tones. I have a penchant for playing immortal characters with a lot of heart. @MorganaMagica in the Curse of Strahd Campaign I play Im a centuries old warforged life cleric. Who is a number one sweetie and doesnt really understand nuance or people but has the biggest heart.
@Onward and @Osprey I grew up on the shetland islands and have always felt really quite attached to the norse history of the islands, Ive always wanted to go to iceland or norway, particularly bergen which is just across the pond. I have particular affinity for the the tale of Sigyn/Sigunnr holding the bowl and I use it in my meditation and life all the time.
Also, fellow musician and medical practioner here. I work in a critical care unit in the hospital and its the perfect mixture of some pretty intense nursing care and palliative care which is one of my absolute passions. I play ocarina and theremin. Im also picking up guitar because Id love to be able to sing while playing an instrument.
The first book I fell in love with was Harry Potter (right generation for it) but as an adult I have fallen head over heels serious love with the Name of the Wind
For any new gossmere who passes by: outside family, what place or people have made you feel the most at home?
Seriously a pleasure to meet you all :revolving_hearts::two_hearts::revolving_hearts:

What’s your guild bearing, @violetlily (and the rest of @Gossmere for that matter)? I’m an Eraverane (Gossmerim of the Eclipse).

6 Likes

I’m Eraverane too actually! Reading through all of the descriptions I love them all though. I think the Eclipse is particularly good for right now because through out my twenties (nearly half way there) I’ve been trying to stick my feelers out and feel homely in all the groups I interact with.
@Gossmere wheres our suns and moons at?

I definitely identified most strongly with my first result, Eraverane, at the time. However, I just retook the test and got Auromore, it felt like it fits where I am right now. :sun_with_face:

Thats super interesting, can you talk about that a little bit, what do you see as having changed for you?

I’d say mostly that traveling more in my own life has left me with little mind for adventure. I’ve always been relationship oriented, and the ideals of being where I’m needed and helping where I can are guiding principles to me. I think I’ve always had a leaning towards the sun, but my recent missing of my own tribe off the internet has made me realize how much I value them, and hope to be that dependable beating heart of Auromore.
