eBay My World: amythyst57( 23)

I am a professional tarot reader, the creator/webmistress of The Witch's Corner (ladyamythyst.webs.com), reiki practitioner, artist, High Priestess of the Coven of Bristolwicks, homeschooling mother of six children, and a hopeless jewelry addict!

My favorite item, so far, is semi-precious stones set in handcrafted sterling silver. The more unique, rustic, 'medievally' looking, the better.

I collect jewelry-- of course!--, anything with images of elephants or cats, unusual and unique little boxes, anything wiccan or pagan. I'm also an avid collector of tarot cards.

I love to read almost as much as I enjoy movies. Most of my reading involves nonficiton books on occult topics by Silver Ravenwolf, Scott Cunningham, Ann Moura, Ly de Angeles, Raven Grimmasi, Laurie Cabot, Konstantinos, Raymond Buckland, etc. I love Anne Rice and when I'm in the mood, Poe. I adore Tennyson, had a crush on him when I was 18. Sir Thomas Mallory and all the tales of King Arthur, Charlotte Bronte and her sister Emily, Dan Brown, the diaries and letters of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, The Diary of a Witch by Sybil Leek, books by the late Betty McDonald: The Egg & I and Onions in the Stew. I like books on real life mysteries: The disappearance of Amelia Earhart, the Bermuda Triangle, etc. I love books about real life forbidden romance, such as King Edward VIII and Wallis Warfield Simpson. I use to love to read tawdry cheap love novels, but I no longer have the time or patience... Again, as with music-- I tend to gravitate toward work that touches me in some way.

My favorite movie is The Mists of Avalon, from there...Practical Magic, The Witches of Eastwick, The Craft, What Lies Beneath, The Missing, The Gift, The Jacket, The Ring, Secret Window, all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Ninth Gate (and just about anything else with Johnny Depp in it), Elizabeth, The Quill, The Governess, Nanny MacPhee, Finding Neverland, The Postman, Merlin, The Illusionist, I’ve Been Waiting for You, An American Haunting, Ghost, The Kill Bill movies (smart beautiful woman kicking ass—who wouldn’t love that), all of the Harry Potter movies and Lord of the Rings, The Quiet Man (I’ve seen this one a zillion times and still get goosebumps when John Wayne comes to fetch Maureen O’hara.), It’s a Wonderful Life, First Knight, The Glass House, Stigmata, The Red Dragon, The Da Vinci Code, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Moonlight & Valentino, Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood, The Secret of Roan I

It is a melody that will catch me...the melody even before the words of a song. I love simple, gentle melodies. Anything loud or harsh or grating is almost intolerable to me. I love Celtic Music, New Age, ambient, light classical, and classic rock. I prefer something relaxing as opposed to something ear splitting.

American Idol, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Everybody Loves Raymond, Ghost Hunters, Paranormal State-- and any other ghost hunting, spook searching, haunted this or that program; History Channel, Discovery Channel, Charmed-- the first season, before it got so cartoonish and silly; Bewitched-- I know, I know, cartoonish and silly; I Love Lucy-- this was in reruns of reruns when I was a child and now my kids watch it, it's timeless. I like real life shows dealing with criminal forensics-- if you want a gal who can discuss blood splatter-- that would be me; Psychic Detective-- and any other programs using psychism to solve criminal cases.
