# About me
Hi! My name is Aislin. It's Irish, pronounced like ASH-lin. It mean's "dream" or "vision". But I mostly go by Ash. I sometimes publish work as Ashley St. Clair and sometimes as T. W. King but for poetry I also use the pen name toki (yep, all lower case!), so you can call me that too ~ a lot of people do. I like listening to the music of the spheres, pondering the interstices of the universe and taking long walks in liminal spaces.

No thanks are necessary for llamas, watches, faves, etc., but I'm always happy to receive a llama in return. I don't always say thank you myself, especially if I'm feeling particularly introverted, but I do my best to make sure I give a llama at least.

Thank you so much for the watch, honey! And I see you're also eclectic. What Gods do you serve/honor other than Eris? (and I also noticed you're autistic lol - me too)
Looks like we already have several things in common. ^^

You're welcome.
I'm pretty much non-practicing these days, but if I do anything, I mostly work symbolically, trying not to personify godforms too much. Just generic 'earth goddess' or whatever, y'know? When I first got into it, it was mostly Egyptian, but I think if I ever do get serious again, it'll be Germanic, since that's my family's heritage. (So, hail Loki instead of hail Eris, I guess? XD) But I also throw in the occasional Japanese ritual like Tanabata because I love Japan and think it's fun but it's not such an integral part of their religion and life that I feel all culturally appropriational about it), and I find that the tarot and the kabbalah resonate with me because of my Judeo-Christian upbringing.
