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. 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
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.
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.
Hello everyone, I’m Cara, the guild assessment brought me here to you wonderful people and it feels so very right. I cant wait to get to know you all
To answer your question @violetlily, outside of family, I feel most at home in woodlands, though some of that contentment is not always my own. Perks of being a witch I suppose.
My question for the next Gossmerim: “what item do you own simply because you felt drawn to it?”
It’s so lovely to meet you Cara! I’m a fellow witch myself. I’ve been radio silent for a little while because I’ve been working on a covid ward and moving house, but I’m hoping to be in my little digital home away from home soon, talking about much more pleasant magical matters. Can’t wait to chat!
