Hello,
I have studied the old religion of the druids, under the teachings of my "mother" for quite some time. I have always felt unique, and different. I remember things, and have dreams of things to come, and things that have happened. I decided at about 15 to start searching for others who were like me. I live in the portland area, and found quite a few. I have created a "clan" of sorts. We have been searching for answers to why we are different, why we have these gifts. My mouth almost dropped to the floor after reading all the information on your web page. It sounds just like us. And although it seems a little far-fetched to the average reader, it sounds 99.5% acurate to me.

I never really knew what my purpose in life was, but I found comfort in the old religion. It reminded me of who I am, and brought me closer to mother nature, and she has helped me to learn about myself. Through research and dedicated time, I have found this page, and I am so happy, and excited to meet others. We have called ourselves the marked ones, but it seems our name will soon be changed. On the streets, we are known as the Shiners, because we tend to stand out. Our auras (to those who can see them) are quite brighter than normal "humans".

I have never felt satisfied, sitting at a desk, working. I wake up each morning, shower, get ready, go to work, and never ONCE can I not think, "there has to be something other than this." Everyday, I see people going to work, getting money, going home, sleeping, and getting back up to go to work again. It is an endless, lifeless cycle, and I feel sorrow and pity for those who do not realize that they are throwing away their lives to give money to the rich.

The mystical arts have always intrigued me, and so I have learned to meditate. I also know quite a few divinatory exercises that I practice with my clan on a daily basis.

All of us feel that there is something about to happen. Something great, something that we must prepare for. But we always worry that we will not be ready, we will not be strong enough, or we do not spend enough time practicing our gifts. I look into other people who I feel close to, and I know that they will not survive this thing that is going to happen.

Thank You,
