Hello Thomas,

Yes, I follow the earth-based beliefs. I am a shamanic pagan, having converted 
from catholic christianity in 1984.

I immigrated to New Zealand about three years ago. Here we do not have official 
freedom of religion, so there is actually significantly more freedom of 
religious expression here compared with what I experienced back in the states. 
There appears to be much more tolerance of belief differences here. I believe 
this is partly do to the treaty between the English and the Maori (I know how 
to say the treaty name, but don't know how to spell it).

I consider myself to be a warrior healer, and follow an elemental path.
