I am almost definitely borrowing Feverfew from you on occasion 
I can mend clothes or something in return, though.

Hello, all! My screen name is Violet, and Iām so glad I stumbled into this little pocket of the universe! āTending the mindflameā is something that echoes through existence for me.
When I was a child, I was fascinated by sciences and the occult (and I still am!). Iāve held a wide variety of jobs as an adult - including advertising and video production, dealing blackjack and poker, and I am now a psych nurse. I love engaging with people, getting to know them, and helping them work on their own thought processes.
Iām currently reading Flora and Fauna, and itās fascinating to me. I canāt wait to dig in and get all caught up! Some of the story shares parallels from things Iāve observed in both magic and psychosis.
Iām also a pagan of sorts, and my personal practices largely revolve around growing a wide variety of plants and learning about the native species in my region. One of my favorite āmagicsā is drinking teas that enhance dreams (and none of the plants are illegal). Iāve found a lot of inspirations that way.
I also love going on hikes, photography, fire dancing, D&D, and spending time with my family. I hope to get to know you all better and share in tending the flame!

Welcome to all our new guild mates!

Wooo I can finally post here.
Yāall can call me Mikasi. Figured an older word for ācoyoteā would be better than being blatant.
Iām kind of surprised I didnāt end up in Flinterforge, to be honest. With my love of working with my hands and penchant for daydreaming up ways of mixing magiq and technology, I would have figured myself a full on match for that. I guess thatās me underestimating my ADHD and penchant to deep dive/binge new things that catch my interest. I mean, Iāll at least admit to reading both Monarch Paper books in likeā¦three or four days and then catching up as much as is easily available since then. Or maybe the time I read almost 200 chapters of a light novel with over a thousand chaptersā¦
Iām probably a better fit for the Mindflame than I think. Plus, with all the research into āweirdā things Iāve done, Iām sure my mad magiscientist side will still get a nice stretch. Perhaps itās time to delve back into that one site about manipulating energy again. Hmmmmā¦
As far as āmundaneā things, Iām probably your stereotypical āomni-nerd/geekā. I love computers, despite their finicky natures; I watch animation from around the world, but currently focusing in on Japan and Korea; Iām a rusty martial artist who would love to get back into it, but is worried 20 years of rust will cause something bad to happen; I play plenty of board games and tabletop games, from wargames to D&D and more.
I do wonder how my high school research into āpsionicsā and my experience in personal and dwellings wards may help or otherwise evolve. Maybe Iāll properly figure out how to take larger crystals and make them into communication devices? (Shhhhh LCDs donāt count)

I honestly canāt believe I never posted here! Mustāve gotten lost in the sprawl of exploring the forum, but anyways, hi!
Iām Aster, and Iām really jazzed to get into this whole thing!! I have a degree in psychology and work in social work currently, but I also have interests ranging from fashion history to tabletop games, and many other geeky things in between. I joined a while ago and drifted in and out, but Iāve wandered on back and am really looking forward to interacting more with the folks here, especially other Thornmouths.

Hello fellow guild members! New recruit here. My nameās Scarlet, or Ms. Ashcroft if you want to be formal. Iām a bit of a novice when it comes to all things magimystical, though I have had a fair number of strange experiences throughout my life. Things like floating around my room at night as a disembodied consciousness, or being levitated by spirits as a small child.
Iām hoping that now that Iāve found this place, Iāll be able to learn all about magiq. It will certainly be easier with the help of others rather than stumbling around all on my own. Granted, I do rather enjoy my solitude but Iām big enough to admit when I need help.
As far as my more mundane life goes, thereās not a whole lot going on there. I dabble in all sorts of things from mycology to circuitry. Iām a bit of a jack of all trades and a master of none. About the only thing thatās stayed the same throughout my life is my passion for learning new things, and my flair for gothic extravagance. Oh, and video games, been playing those since I was 2 years old. Some things never change.
Anyway, I am excited to be here! And I look forward to meeting you all and helping out where I am able.

Call me Blue. It works well enough both in the Magiqal and the mundane worlds. Doc Blue if you wish to be formal, but I donāt really talk much about my PhD. Iām a little jaded from my time in academia.
I am, at heart, a puzzle solver. I like discovering the pieces of things and finding ways to piece them together into something of value. Magiq? Magiq is one of those pieces I couldnāt find until now. One of those pieces that starts to draw all the others together into a coherent whole.
I am excited to be hereā¦ and to help tend the Mindflame.

I donāt remember if I already posted here? Haha. Iām sort of absent-minded maybe even forgetful. So if I did ( I didnāt see a post but I might be having an obtuse moment) I apologize for the repeat. Hello fellow Thornmouth guildmates! I really love the idea of tending the mindflame. I homeschool my three younglings and the philosophy of education I adhere to is feeding their minds with mind-food - or ideas. And itās really amazing to me that I would fall into a guild with such leanings. Through books we we pass the torch of ideas to minds and so on. Not my original thought on the topic and itās a terrible paraphrase but when Iām excited itās like I canāt quite get the words out right in text or speech.
I enjoy phrases like āflora and faunaā and āflotsam and jetsam,ā or words like kindling and marsupial. Nature study, painting, mixed media, candles, thick books, old books, old words (like mizzle !), retro furniture and patterns, bright dishes and saffronā¦ the whole universe is a place of wonderment. I really just want to learn and learn some more. There isnāt enough time on this earth to do all the learning one might want.
Happy to stumble upon like-minded people 
Looking forward to magiq exploration.

Hi everyone, Iām Fae. I found this world on my birthday, so I thought that it was pretty great timing. Iāve figured out that Iām a Luminast leaning Thornmout, and I wouldnāt have it any other way. I am currently going through finding a job and dealing with some severe health issues in my family so I havenāt been around as much as I thought I would be. But after reading a lot of the threads on here, I am so excited to get to make some new friends, because everyone here seems lovely.
I am a puzzler, and a lover of words. A non-crafty person who longs to be crafty. I am a math person, and have a lot of problem solving experience. I also have been deemed the manic pixie dream girl type, but Iām still nobodyās side character. I look forward to everything the future may hold.

Hello, lighthouse keepers. Iām Django and Iāve recently found myself here at the tower so I suppose Iām ready for the work to come.
In the mundane, Iām Tom, an IT guy in a weird transitional phase, career-wise. I live with my wife and three dogs which means that I own a house and am allotted just enough space on the bed to breathe at night.
Iāve recently come to adopt paganism as a spiritual pursuit in place of the organized religion I grew up with. Though the lens has given me a much more fascinating view of life, āpracticingā alone is, well, lonely and itās difficult to find a group to work with. Anyway, if anyone is interested in talking pagan junk feel free to PM me.
Magic (Magiq? Iām not sure if the distinction exists and where the line is) to me is the miracle of everyday life. Thereās some follow up to this statement but the miracle of my various mental disorders makes it impossible for me to elaborate at this time. Forgive me.
Anyway, umā¦ I guess thatās it? Feel free to ask questions or whatever. I look forward to working with you all and exploring the world together!
You say cult like itās a bad thing!

Well, hey everyone! Iām going by Alecto at the moment, andā¦ wow. Iām still incredibly new to everything here, but Iām quite excited to learn and catch up. Which, I suppose, is why I wasnāt exactly surprised to find I was a Lunivox-bearing Thornmouth. Well, wasnāt surprised beyond the whole āmagic existsā thing, that part was just a little unexpected. But still, when I settled into things and started reading everything I could find on the subject, well, I think this guild suits me quite nicely.
Anyway, I should probably actually talk about myself, shouldnāt I? Iām an avid reader, so much so that Iāve turned to web fiction of various forms so I have new chapters of stories to read nearly every day of the week. Iām a fan of puzzles, though they tend to stick in my brain and absorb my focus until Iām worrying at the thing like a dog with a bone. I also haveā¦ difficulties being social, to put it politely, so please donāt fault me for mostly lurking when things havenāt stolen my attention or I donāt have enough spoons for interaction. Still, Iām very excited to learn more about, well, everything here, and to meet and get to know all you lovely people.

Hey folks, itās been a while since I was last here. An unfortunate mix of life events and depression pulled me away, but, Iāve found my way back.
Anyway, let me introduce myself (again for some people).
Iām Lander (Andrew irl) I have a passion for reading fantasy, sci-fi and more recently LitRPG. The Dragonlance Chronicles are what really sparked my interest in fiction and from there my love of RPGs & LARPGs like D&D, vampire the masquerade and most recently Whatās Old is (Now) New (W.O.I.N) though these days I mainly run and help out at games.
Iām a huge lover of tech, music and photography, though sadly I donāt have much time to dabble with these, other than through my job as a Sales Monkey at one of the UKās biggest tech companies.
aside from the above, I have a fondness for puzzles and learning new things, from the obscure to the daft. eg Mathematically there are 5.9 popes per square mile of Vatican city! (yes I know there is only one popeā¦ but math!)
My home city is known as the UKās City of Stories! and has a rich history that I love to learn about from having an intact Castle that is now a museum, once having enough pubs (bars?) the be able to drink in a different one each day of the year and enough churches to confess your sins in a different one each week! and even being rich in occult and mystical history, and the final resting place of the physician and Alchymist Arthur Dee.
All that aside, I look forward to exploring the world Magiq and learning more.

@Lander Two things
One: I know so little about you other than that I need to book a transatlantic flight likeā¦ soon so I can meet you and enjoy your incredibly interesting home
Two: That pope fact is fascinating and I plan to commit that to memory so I can spout it out at every opportunity

That pope fact absolutely just killed me. Youāll fit in well here for sure.
