I’m in the process of growing old as disgracefully as I can. A Gothic dreamer since childhood I love the dark side of life, vampyres and steampunk.
I live in two Burgh`s: Hamburg and Edinburgh, and do very much enjoy the company of my partner.
Meet ups and exchange of thoughts with my friends is what I like as well.
You can also find me on long walks in wilderness and into the centre and realms of the inner world and soul.
Cannot get enough of the howling of the storm at night, the smell of wet earth, thunderstorm­s, the wild sea ( I am a seachild), snow and ice, mist in October and November, and rainy afternoons, they are so magickal...
Autumn and Winter...and­ my soul is bursting with happiness.
Rainy days, dark nights, mists, storm and rain...is the landscape of my soul.

I like fairy tales and their interpretati­on, mythology and legends, folklore.
Poetry, Proverbs, Haiku,...

BOOKS AND MUSIC - elixiers of life to me..

Very interested in history.
I also would love to time travel (and am fond of books about time travelling).­
Love the Victorian period especially the costumes, house décor and general history of the lifestyle.
Apart from time travelling, I like to travel and see the world :o)))

Wolves, owls, dogs, crows and raven, plus the Aye Aye - belong to my favourite animals....a­nd I love Gargoyles and Dragons!

I am fascinated by haunted houses, ghosts, nature spirits, tarot and runes, spiritualism­, all things paranormal.
I have a great interest in all things vampyric. I love Vampyres, and when I was a child, when other children wanted to be ballet dancers, I kind of wanted to be a Vampyre. Was waiting almost every night some Vampyre would come to lure me into his world.

My favourite haunts are cathedrals, churchyards, museums, grand houses, antiques markets and charity shops.
An avid bargain hunter I cannot pass a charity shop, antique or flea market without delving in.

Creativity is also a very important part of my life: I like to paint and to draw, writing Haikus, DIY, sewing, scrapbooks, soul collages, shadow boxes, creating whimsical dolls...also­ photography,­ photo shop, photo manipulation­, card making, art with a story, McGee`s Alice, Edward Gorey / Böcklin / CD Friedrich / Gustav Doré/ Laurie Lipton,...arts and crafts in generel.

I do like psychology (C.G.Jung), dream interpretati­on and philosophy.

The cinema (especially Tim Burton / Guillermo del Torro/ Terry Gilliam), concerts, theatre, (dark) cabaret, Gypsies, ...
I still would run away with the circus folk ( but nowadays with my beloved one and only by my side) - the freedom and the magickal world they live in are very tempting...b­ut I still think clowns are evil ;o)))
