My Bio
First and foremost, I am a scholar, not always a polite one, but a scholar none the less. I am currently at university working on a degree in cultural anthropology with an emphasis on folklore, mythologies and superstitions.
I love studying various cultures opinions and beliefs about the occult and supernatural.
I made this account to share the various essays I've written, and will write, about my interests. I would love any feedback, questions or general discussions.
-R.S.
P.S.: Much of what I write about may seem strange or completely unbelievable. I understand any skeptics out there but I urge all my readers to remember that I am only reporting observations. I look at the beliefs of others and record them. Whether they are right or not, I cannot say. I appreciate your open-mindedness when reading and discussing my essays.

Current Residence: In the between

Favourite genre of music: Jazz
Personal Quote: Never interrupt your opponent while he's making a mistake.

Mmmm... one such as myself has no business in a statistics class. Not because I am unskilled at math or because I see no use in it, but because it bores me to high heaven! (Or low hell if you prefer...) Which is why I am now on dev. art for the first time in over a month instead of paying close attention in class. I've been blissfully useless these past few months, I haven't written a thing, and it's been nice. Boring, but nice. A good break for my poor, frost bitten brain. Now however, I find myself drawn to the keys with the desire to create.
The current events in northern Africa and the Middle East have been particularly compelling. Revol

The semester is quickly coming to a close, all of my final projects and case write-ups are finished and I only have two exams left. To say I am uttering a sigh of relief is an understatement! This has been a hectic semester and as much as I enjoyed most of my classes, it will be relief to have a lighter semester in the spring. Hopefully the winter vacation will give me more time to do personal research! I am hoping to eventually get around to compiling all of my seven deadly sin information into a relatively concise essay and it would be fantastic if the witch group I've been studying will let me do more in depth analysis but they seem to thi

This semester truly intends to destroy me both mentally and physically! There are simply not enough hours in the day to do all the work my professors assign! Not to mention my various hobbies... damn it all anyway!
But speaking of my hobbies, I had fully intended to post a brief discussion of the Seven Deadly Sins but my in-depth research led to so many questions that I had to scrap the whole thing. I simply do not have time for that sort of research right now. :( Perhaps over Thanksgiving break.
So I was thinking, instead of the Seven Deadlies, perhaps it would be fitting to do a small piece on Halloween; since it's right around the corner
