RentMen:
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
Yourgoth:
I have a lot of interests, but they can mostly be described as making things. I love to craft! I paint, draw, and write very often. I usually have a sketchbook with me, full of dreams and poems and esoteric images. I like to whittle and upcycle things I find at thrift stores. Generally everything turns out black and guilded in gold. I enjoy cooking and baking- I have a collection of herbs i have harvested for making teas. I also like being active. working out, and going on hikes are favorites. If I can do any of these things naked I always will. I’ve been naked tho whole time I’m writing this, surrounded by the edgy, witchy goth things I that have made.
RentMen:
What distinguishes you from all the other people you know?
Yourgoth:
I’m hard to miss, I look like a vampire beneath my umbrella at the beach
RentMen:
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
Yourgoth:
I would love to travel and to see the world, but I have never had the opportunity to leave the states. When I do go on ‘vacation’ it is usually to go home to see my family. I like road trips where we can stop at every pull off that piques curiosity. I love national parks and nature bathing. Anywhere with a hot spring is a solid yes. If I could go traveling, I would want to see the ancient sites of the world. I want to see the architectural marvels of the Pantheon. I want to see Pompeii. I would love to visit the temple of Karnak and see the pyramids of Giza as well as the pyramids in South America. I want to kiss the Blarney Stone and I want to visit Stonehenge. Bring me to the moors and let me disappear into the mist, please, for the love of god. Take for example a trip to Hawaii- I would rather go hiking the Kalalau trail again and camp there on the remote beach naked than go to the big island for a concert.
RentMen:
What are your lifestyle specifics that makes who you are?
Yourgoth:
There is a specific intersection of Gothic aesthetic and Witchy expression where I comfortably exist. I am a deeply spiritual person, interested in exploring many different faiths and philosophies. My artistic expression often manifests in crafting tools for ritual uses and altar pieces. There are many who would describe me as a witch or warlock, though I do not rely on these titles nor feel strongly about them. That being said, I DO in fact know which herbs to use in spellwork, and how to cast a proper under the full moon. I have always been curious about the Divine and have found many ways to relate to it. Relating to it is something that I practice in my own chaotic, non-dogmatic, and private way. I want to live in harmony with myself, with others, and with nature. I am interested in the material world and understanding how to be a better steward of it. I am interested in forming communities with likeminded individuals. Admittedly, those communities often look like Covens. I would like to believe that I am adept in discerning the line between meaningful association to the supernatural and what many people suffer as spiritual psychosis. Generally, I keep it to myself.
