Time to redo my #introduction.

My name is Shaseni ("SHOSS-en-ee") and I live in #Colorado having immigrated from Scotland in the aughts. I'm quirky, and long retired from software development and teaching. I've been on Mastodon since April 2018.

My paganism is #Kemetic, working with the same deities that Ancient Egyptians worshipped, and my magic is #heka. Shaseni is a Kemetic name given to me by the goddess Nit (Neith) and the god Set, and it means "I tread on my enemies."

My pagan journey has taken me from living in a Hindu ashram when I was 20, through Taoism, the White Eagle Lodge, Heathenry, Kuan Yin and Buddhism, through to Kemetic Orthodoxy. I'm now in my 70s, and I feel as though I'm on fairly good terms with many deities and several buddhas.

Since my 20s, I've been involved with #healing, #magic, and practiced and taught many forms of #divination. I do read professionally. My favorite is Robin Scott's #UrbanTarot as I share her view that magic and wisdom belong not only to forgotten forests, places untouched by human hands, and to ages long lost to memory, but to my world, where around me I see beauty, wonder, and magic in the metropolis and power under the pavement.

I'm a #writer: a #storyteller and #poet manqué. My works are out there, under various pen names, if you're desperate. You'll find an overcooked motley of prose and poems from midnight streets; eat quickly and don't ask what the meat is.

I'm #transfem, #femsexual, and married. I'm politically left. I talk too much, eat too much, drink too little, love good curry, read romantic #yuri #manga, and embrace the Absurd.
