I am a Pagan monogamous submissive female looking around for potential partners or friends.

Some personal details: I'll be 29 this coming April, am professionally employed in the IT field, am vegan, and enjoy Tai Chi, working out on my eliptical machine, and yoga. I also am a huge science fiction and fantasy fan and am both a reader and a writer. My first book will be coming out in the spring, in fact.

What I am looking for in a potential partner: a man or a woman my age or older, but no older than mid-forties. You must be local (as in, an hour's drive from Boston) and monogamous. No couples or polyamorous people please--this is a hard limit.

What I am looking for in a friend is honesty, interests in common, and a good sense of humor. :)

Instant turnoffs that will guarantee I will not reply to you:  starting conversations regarding my sexual interests firsthand, complete lack of ability to spell or punctuate, ignoring the qualifications as listed in my profile, or the refusal to believe that my inability to reply right away to your emails isn't personal.

I'm looking for a self-confident, intelligent Dom who is interested in ME and not just my looks.  I'll be taking down the pictures on my profile and will only give them out to people whom I've gotten to know and can trust to view them.

For those curious as to the origin of my name and my interest in the Gnostic Mary Magdalene, a quote from one of my favorite poems:

"For I am the first and the last.
I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one.
I am the wife and the virgin."

Finally getting around to catching up on email.  Sorry guys--my job took over my life for a while there.  I hope my next assignment is way more reasonable.

I'm amused at how the flood of emails to my inbox came to a screeching halt right after I removed my pictures.  I'd say that I was shocked, but I'm not....  It's actually more like disappointed.  I'd like to think that people would find my profile appealing alone and not just how I look.

I hear of people complain that people stop talking to them after they show their pic to them... I guess that I have the reverse problem.  :)  I have to worry about people only liking me because I'm attractive.  Well, there's more to me than my face.

I'm finally engaged in the art of "having a life" again and it's a beautiful thing.  I took a week off last week after my job assignment ended and I feel like a new woman.

These days I am wondering whether or not these sorts of sites actually work for people looking for the sort of criteria I am looking for.  It would seem that people who either want long distance relationships and/or are polyamorous would hit big by this site but not necessarily people who are looking for local monogamous people.

Maybe I'd have better luck finding a natural Dom who isn't in the scene?  :P

Don't mind me, just feeling cynical.

I have about 50 read and unread messages which I haven't been able to respond to--work's been pretty crazy.

People who don't comprehend this and will accuse me of delibrately ignoring them WILL be delibrately ignored.

I'm sorry and I very much want to converse with people but my life offline comes first.

What I am looking for

I'm looking for a long term, monogamous romance.  This instantly should signal to people that couples, people who are poly, and/or people who are married would definitely not be compatible with me.  But I wish you all the best of luck in your search and hope that you find happiness.

I'd like to meet someone who can talk with me about subjects we enjoy, but not necessarily someone who agrees with me all of the time.  Frankly that's because that sort of thing is boring and not particularly challenging to me either emotionally or intellectually.

So yeah, I'm looking for a Dom/me to be my best friend and lover.  Someone whom I can really trust, can hang out in my pjs around them without feeling weird, and still have an incredibly passionate, fulfilling relationship.

I learned a long time ago that I can't be fully engaged in a vanilla relationship, hence why I prefer these sorts of places to try and find someone who would be a good match for me.

Why BDSM?

Here comes the answer that may surprise some:  I got involved for spiritual reasons.  Much of my spiritual path is grounded in mysticism, and altered states of consciousness to achieve a spiritual experience.  Obviously subspace is awesome for this.

I guess you could say that I feel closer to my god, Dionysos, when I'm engaged in such altered states.  There are two words that come from the Greek to describe such states of consciousness which I find apt:  ecstasy and enthusiasm.  Ecstacy comes from the Greek exstasis which means outside of one's body while enthusiasm is derived from the Greek word entheos meaning the god within.

If you've made it this far and you not only grok what I'm saying but experience it on some level for yourself, you and I could engage in some really awesome discussions.  :)

Woo!  My first journal entry!



I'm a Greek pagan, specifically a devotee of Apollo, Dionysos, and Hermes.  I am also involved with ceremonial magick and in particular the Western Mystery Traditions, and am intensely interested in the practice and study of spiritual alchemy.



Speaking of alchemy, I welcome anyone here to read a wonderful book called "Carnal Alchemy" which is about BDSM in an alchemical context.  Fabulous reading!
