This is like home to me, I visit here daily. When I had my operation back in December of 05, I found out that the power of healing that was sent to me from here helped me to recover.

[Kingfisher]

1. What attracted you here to Mystic Familiar originally?
I was looking for answers and was sent a link by a member
2. Why did you opt to join Mystic Familiar and how long have you been a member here?
After my first visit to Mf I knew I would get answers to my many questions. Everyone was so welcoming, and accepted me for what I was (no airs and graces) I was a pain always asking questions and questioning some of the answers. But everyone was so patient with me answering my queries with love, I was never judged.
I have been here over a year now, and call this home.
3. What stage of your journey had you reached along your chosen path when you arrived at Mystic Familiar?
I was a complete beginner, I knew things were not right I thought I was going mad, others around me did not do the things I did, I couldn’t go out I was a hermit. Every time I went into crowds I felt terrible and I didn’t know why.
4. What are your interests here at Mystic Familiar and have they changed and or expanded since you arrived here?
From being a total novice, I now read cards and runes, and also channel healing, so yes I have learnt all this from Mystic Familiar there are so many people willing to share, and help others.
5. What do you like about Mystic Familiar?
The family atmosphere warmth and friendship I feel as I enter chat. And the information that is available, which is constantly updated, and the love I receive from other members, they actually care for one another, always there for you when you are going through a tough time. If I enter chat on a low I always leave with my energy uplifted.
6. Why do you keep coming back to Mystic Familiar?
I love mf it is like an extended family, like I said my first visit here and I felt at home, and there is always something new to learn.
7. Do you enjoy the chat and messages board forum at Mystic Familiar and what do you feel you get from them?
I enjoy both as both are interactive and give support to all the members. Then there is the library and the development class archives, I have found these to be really helpful, packed with good information for those seeking.
8. Have you taken part in any of the circles and classes here at Mystic Familiar and do you feel the have helped you?
Yes, I have taken every class that has been held in the past year, some more than once, every class I have taken has helped me to move along my path. I learned to read cards in divination with cards circle: I learned runes in the rune class but the most important class to me was opulences first steps class, it was here I first leant to g&p (ground and protect)when working with spirit, and chakras then connect to spirit. Also the empathy class it was here I learnt why these things were happening to me, Filgraves mediumship class took me a stage further. Magicalthinkers healing circle showed me that healing is possible, dreamwalkers class showed me how to connect to my animal guides. And starryhounds Meditations showed me how to connect to my guide. There are many other classes that have helped me to progress on my path after all there are over 20 classes here at mf.
9. Compared to when you arrived at Mystic Familiar where do you feel you are now after spending time here and having access to the chat, circles/classes, archive, library, message board forum and the other members of Mystic Familiar.
There is no comparison when I first came to mf I was a mess but now I feel I have found me and I can control my empathy and decide when where and if I let spirit speak to me being in control of my abilities that is the most important thing I have learnt and Trust is a Must another great lesson I have leant form members here. Mf and its members have taught me a lot and I am glad I came here.
10. Tell us what Mystic Familiar means to you and how it has helped you in your journey
I think I have answered this one what more can I say I LOVE MYSTIC FAMILIAR

[Myst]

1. What attracted my here to Mystic Familiar originally?
I had found 3 sites previous but never felt accepted nor could I find the answers that I was looking for. Most other sites seemed to focus on one path only. Then I found MF and found many different paths, I joined instantly and found acceptance straight away. I joined chat not long after and found warmth and friendliness. I have not been back to the other sites since. In fact if I am in front of the computer then I am in MF.
2. Why did you opt to join MF and how long have you been a memeber here?
I opted to join because of the wealth of information and friendliness that I found here. I have only been here for 2 months but I already feel like a part of a loving family.
3. What stage of my journey had I reached?
I felt stuck in a maze like I was going crazy. I had a couple of people that I could talk to but one had even less knowledge than me and the other I only felt deception from.
4. What are my interests here and have they changed?
My interests are empathy, archangel oracle card reading, would like to help others to find out what is going on in their heads and to just help others who need it. Since being here I have decided that one by one I would like to look at everything and see what else I can do.
5. What do I like about MF?
The friendship and the wealth of opinions and being able to talk to people who similar views and different opinions and being able to discuss these similarities and differences without criticism or judgement.
6. Why do I keep coming back?
Because I have found friends here that accept me as I am.
7.Do I enjoy the chat & message board?
Yes I enjoy both. I love reading all the advice that people have to the many questions and I love talking to people in chat and discussing the many different opinions that people in MF have.
8. Hae I taken part in any circles & classes?
I am currently doing Opulence's class (1 lesson to go) and loving every minute of it. I have felt such strong energies and learnt heaps in just a few hours. It is exactly what I am looking for. I will be participating in an empathy class with Wishingstar soon and looking forward with anticipation. I have sat in on a couple of Kingfisher's circles and found them very interesting too and hope to be able to actually participate soon. I use the library and development archives often as a reference guide.
9. Where am I now after spending time in MF?
I am growing in leaps and bounds and what I have learnt has not only helped me to devlope spiritually but it has helped me in everyday life to cope better with tough situations that I come across in my job and with my family.
10. What MF means to me and how it has helped?
MF is the answer to all my questions that I have not been able to ask the people in my life here. It has given me more friends that share opinions with me and are happy to discuss these with me and to help me whenever I have questions that I can't find answers to.

[ameth]

1. What attracted you here to Mystic Familiar originally?
Someone guided me here and I was curious to see what the fuss was about.
2. Why did you opt to join Mystic Familiar and how long have you been a member here? My pc has MF as a home page I am on it that often. I like the variety and wealth of energies on here. It's nice to visit somewhere a little extra-ordinary and magical as this place. I've been coming here since Dec 2004 - not good with numbers or months.
3. What stage of your journey had you reached along your chosen path when you arrived at Mystic Familiar? I was on the B road after fuelling up with gas. I believe I have many paths to tread but it feels right walking this one just now.
4. What are your interests here at Mystic Familiar and have they changed and or expanded since you arrived here? I don't do much here apart from lurk to read interesting posts, post occasionally, and gab over the fence in chat. I have had the same interests that I had prior to joining, but I'm forever changing and so is MF. As said earlier, I enjoy the interesting dynamics of energy, and this place has so much to offer.
5. What do you like about Mystic Familiar?
Diversity of cultures and paths brought together and embraced, the laughter, the enigmas, the wisdom and the powers this place has to reach people all over the planet. I'm still coming to terms with the techno wizzardry of the web.
6. Why do you keep coming back to Mystic Familiar? You can't get rid of me....well not yet anyway. It's nice to come on and haunt the place for a few hours with some like minded people at all times of the day. The doors are rarely closed and you'll always find someone home infront of the roaring fire with a welcome smile and ear.
7. Do you enjoy the chat and messages board forum at Mystic Familiar and what do you feel you get from them?
I've been reading the boards more often now than I did when I first joined. I'll put that down to laziness on my part before. I love the many topics and opinions on view in the forums. The chat can be stimulating and warm, and it's nice to exchange opinions and spread a wee bit of some happiness.
8. Have you taken part in any of the circles and classes here at Mystic Familiar and do you feel the have helped you?
Only one type of class and I only attended sporodically. Again laziness and lack of commitment due to other responsibilities in my life. The classes are well thought of, from previous discussions with others. It's nice to see others develop and move on. I'm lucky enough to be part of a development circle at home and it's good to see similar ones on here.
9. Compared to when you arrived at Mystic Familiar where do you feel you are now after spending time here and having access to the chat, circles/classes, archive, library, message board forum and the other members of Mystic Familiar.
I'm heading onto the new motorway and taking in the nice views on either side of me. I've been in the presence of some lovely folk and feel MF is a wee travel companion that hopefully will be with me for a long time to come. This is a great place for reference and has some fantastic people who do so much good and have so much to give. I'm keeping my window seat for now...and watching the place grow as I am doing with it.
10. Tell us what Mystic Familiar means to you and how it has helped you in your journey
MF is a place to ground and reflect with like minded folk who you dont normally connect with when going about your day to day business. It's my wee retreat that I can tap into, knowing and trusting that its foundations are solid, and the doors always open.

You can blame Starryhound for that! He saw how frustrated I was at the nastiness and pettiness of some so called spirtual chat rooms and gave me the link.

Been here a year last week. I joined as I liked the atmosphere and moofy wont let me out the door as I bring him sausages!

10. Tell us what Mystic Familiar means to you and how it has helped you in your journey.
Mystic familiar has been like a kindly uncle, a loving mother, a stern father and a good friend.
Its helped me realize I'm not alone and that yes its ok to admit that I see and hear dead people without fear of a bloke in a white coat dragging me away to a nice little room with padded walls!
Many thanks and love to you all here.

[violet]

as i have not been here too long my answers may be somewhat limited, however i thought i would contribute as much as i can. . . .
1. What attracted you here to Mystic Familiar originally?
I was looking for a place to learn and grow spiritually and came across the link on a search engine. once i started reading the posts and looking over the site at some of the classes and such i couldnt stop myself from registering. so far it has been one of the best decisions i have ever made
2. Why did you opt to join Mystic Familiar and how long have you been a member here?
I have been a member for about a month and a half. i opted to join because it seemed like a place that i could really learn something from. I am fairly new with all of this and one thing that really appealed to me was the fact that it didnt matter how much i knew or didnt know. it seemed to be a place (and has turned out to be) that no one judges anyone, they help them. everyone is learning and growing and we all help each other.
3. What stage of your journey had you reached along your chosen path when you arrived at Mystic Familiar?
I was/am extremely new to all of this. I had read a few books, but never practised anything, never talked with anyone about it, never was a part of circles, classes or anything. i cannot express how much of a relief it was to find a place where i could do all of these things and actually even learn more than what i was looking for! I have learned about things that i never even had a concept of before i came here.
4. What are your interests here at Mystic Familiar and have they changed and or expanded since you arrived here?
my initial interest was mediumship. have my interests changed, no but expanded, yes - by leaps and bounds. i am constantly learning new things and concepts and finding that im interested in things that i never even knew existed.
5. What do you like about Mystic Familiar?
The easier question to answer would be what don't i like about MF. So far I have not come up with anything i dont like about it. some things that stand out to me that i like and appreciate very much are the honesty of the people here, the lack of judgement, the openness, the warmth, the genuine caring, the support, and the friendships that i am building. Not once have i been chastised for asking a question that i thought to be silly, quite the opposite i have been approached warmly and reassured that learning and growing are what we are all here for.
6. Why do you keep coming back to Mystic Familiar?
Because i cant stay away!!! I actually have MF as my startup page when i open my web browser. I come back for the support, the classes, and to learn more each day.
7. Do you enjoy the chat and messages board forum at Mystic Familiar and what do you feel you get from them?
I enjoy them very much. I get a lot from both chat and the message boards. Chat provides a way to learn about new things, talk about what i have on my mind, or just have a good laugh at times. The message boards are wonderful for asking questions, getting things off your chest, and asking for support and providing support for others here.
8. Have you taken part in any of the circles and classes here at Mystic Familiar and do you feel the have helped you?
I am currently taking the first steps class here. I love it! It has helped me so much. Opulence is wonderful! I get so much more out of the class than i would just reading a book. To be able to ask questions, or clear up things that arent quite clear to me, to see others perspectives and hear what works for them is wonderful. To be able to work with others on things and support each other as we go along helps immensly.
9. Compared to when you arrived at Mystic Familiar where do you feel you are now after spending time here and having access to the chat, circles/classes, archive, library, message board forum and the other members of Mystic Familiar.
Im worlds beyond where i would have been just learning on my own. I still have a long way to go but i progress a little every single day. i learn something new every single day. and i feel that i would not be where i am today without the help of the people here.
10. Tell us what Mystic Familiar means to you and how it has helped you in your journey.
MF has helped my in my journey by providing me with resources i would not have had easily otherwise. it would have taken me years to even be exposed to half of what i can learn here. the support of the other members here is priceless. MF is quickly becoming home to me as it has to so many others here.

1. What attracted you here to Mystic Familiar originally?
I had tried another couple of sites briefly but found them fairly narrow in their viewpoints. Also it was just the right time for me to take the next step I think - maybe I was guided here?
2. Why did you opt to join Mystic Familiar and how long have you been a member here?
I joined in December 2005 so really I'm still a relative newbie - though you wouldn't think it the number of times I've felt compelled to stick my two penn'orth in on the boards lol!
3. What stage of your journey had you reached along your chosen path when you arrived at Mystic Familiar?
My stock comment is, 'I'm a sceptic by inclination but a believer by experience'. I've been having odd psychic-type experiences since the age of six or seven and finally decided I had to find out more about what it was all about or book an appointment with the little men in white coats!
4. What are your interests here at Mystic Familiar and have they changed and or expanded since you arrived here?
I've always been fascinated by the runes and done scarily accurate readings, but since I've been here I've looked into lots of different areas. I've learned about empathy, which made a lot of things clearer to me, and grounding and protecting which has helped me enormously.
5. What do you like about Mystic Familiar?
I like the way this is a meeting-place for such a broad spectrum of viewpoints, and where people can engage in debate via the boards in a sensible and level-headed way and if necessary agree to disagree!
6. Why do you keep coming back to Mystic Familiar?
See all of the above!
7. Do you enjoy the chat and messages board forum at Mystic Familiar and what do you feel you get from them?
I enjoy the boards probably more than chat because my mind works better when I have time to formulate my thoughts and then express them rather than trying to follow three conversations at once! (Also not sure I can type that fast!).
8. Have you taken part in any of the circles and classes here at Mystic Familiar and do you feel the have helped you?
Easier to list which classes I haven't taken! They are all so interesting and I love to learn new things and explore new topics. The next teacher I will be driving mad with my incessant questions is Chi in the Healing Circle which I am looking forward to enormously!
9. Compared to when you arrived at Mystic Familiar where do you feel you are now after spending time here and having access to the chat, circles/classes, archive, library, message board forum and the other members of Mystic Familiar.
Definitely further along my path (wish I knew what it was though, lol!)
10. Tell us what Mystic Familiar means to you and how it has helped you in your journey.
Given me an opportunity to explore this aspect of myself I can't imagine I would have had anywhere else, and the chance to meet and talk to others who are undertaking similar journeys. Thank you MF!

1. What attracted you here to MF originally?
I was recommended to the site by a former member.
2. Why did you opt to join MF and how long have you been a member here?
I opted to join through pure intruige and have been a member for 10months.
3. What stage of your journey had you reached along your chosen path when you arrived at MF?
I was basically a novice to all spiritual matters although was introduced to the idea of Angels just prior to joining MF and was exploring this avenue at that time.
4. what are you interests here at MF and have they changed and or expanded since you arrived here?
My interest continues in learning about the Angels and my knowledge increased tenfold however I've realised a passion for reading cards thanks to Chi's circle. I also wish to learn to read runes, learn more about mediumship in general and learn about all types of guides. I adore undertaking guided meditations also which I find very beneficial.
5. What do you like about MF?
The energy of its members in chat and the open mindedness to all aspects of spiritualism by all. Also the awesome circles/classes and just how those who lead the circles portray their knowledge and draw out the knowledge from those attending wherever people are on their paths.
6. Why do you keep coming back to MF?
Addicted and a thirst for knowledge and to chat to friends here.
7. Do you enjoy the chat and message board forum at MF and what do you feel you get from them?
I find the forum very informative and how subjects can provoke such great discussions in posts. Yes I enjoy chat.
8. Have you taken part in any of the circles and classes here at MF and do you feel they have helped you?
Yes I can't thank Opulence enough for her first steps class and Chi for his card circle. Also I will always be indebted to Shamen Spirit for her fantastic guided meditations which she knows have steered me in the right direction. These are just some, I've also thoroughly enjoyed participating in Wishin's empathy circle, Athena Blues and Kings development circles, winniethepoohs beginners class also to name a few.
9. Compared to when you arrived at MF where do you feel you are now after spending time here and having access to the chat, circles/classes, archive, library, msg board and other members at MF?
I've learn a phenominal amount and am eager to continue that learning here at MF. I'm on a spiritual path now and wish only to walk forward and hopefully through reading and 'chat' help others new to their journeys, interact with other members wherever they may be on their paths.
10. Tell us what MF means to you and how has it helped you on your journey.
It means so very much to me, it feels right that I should be here and that it will benefit me as hopefully I can do so for others. A journey with ups and downs due to the period of my life which I found spiritualism however I'm still plodding on and willing to learn more and more.......
Sol, thank you for the opportunity

1. What attracted you here to MF originally?
I dunno... although it all seemed overwhelming with the lists and information, I kept coming back!
2. Why did you opt to join MF and how long have you been a member here?
Spirit made me! No, 'tis true - I wandered into chat one night, sat in a corner and my spirit friends made it clear this was the place for me. I've been here just under ten months. Doesn't seem that long!
3. What stage of your journey had you reached along your chosen path when you arrived at MF?
I was just emerging from a year of re-assessing my path, teetering on the brink of leaving the spiritual nest and was looking for a way to spread my wings.
4. what are your interests here at MF and have they changed and or expanded since you arrived here?
My interests are much the same as they have always been; to share and gain knowledge and to help others to realise their own potential. That has been expanded by listening and sharing with other like minds. There is always something to learn. I've also discovered a safe way to develop my teaching skills, which is really nice.
5. What do you like about MF?
The safe support for everyone, no matter their beliefs. The energy in the rooms which is just the best I've ever come across on the Net and which adds to that sense of safety. The welcomes, the instant empathy, the opportunities to learn and grow.. the list is endless.
6. Why do you keep coming back to MF?
I'm addicted! There's always something to read or someone to chat to. A quick ten-minute check usually extends to several hours...
7. Do you enjoy the chat and message board forum at MF and what do you feel you get from them?
Always informative... my only complaint about the boards and archives is that I don't have time to go through them as thoroughly as I'd like! But if you have a question, there's usually an answer here.
As for chat, I always feel uplifted and it's rare that I don't come offline happier than before I went on.
8. Have you taken part in any of the circles and classes here at MF and do you feel they have helped you?
I haven't taken part in as many as I would like to, but I have enjoyed Chi's card circle and Magicalthinker's healing circle. I hope to have more time in future to work with fellow teachers here, as well as developing my own classes.
9. Compared to when you arrived at MF where do you feel you are now after spending time here and having access to the chat, circles/classes, archive, library, msg board and other members at MF?
I'm feeling much more confident in myself, although there is still work to be done. It's good to know that there is somewhere to go where I can be myself and access all aspects.
10. Tell us what MF means to you and how has it helped you on your journey.
MF is my spiritual home. It's the place I have searched for for many years... a place to pursue interests, share knowledge and ideas, make true friends... I have found the support I need to walk my own path and I know my spirit friends brought me to a good place.
Blessings
Otter

I am a lot more positive than I was when I first arrived. Yes I have bad days but then who doesn't. I know try to see the positive in everything rather than getting myself down over the things I cant change and talk about them thats the important part to talk.
10. Tell us what Mystic Familiar means to you and how it has helped you in your journey
Mystic Familiar means to me home a place of happiness, wealth of knowledge and mental growth. I feel that my path is now more clear to me and that although I am at the begining of my journey I am a lot further up the road than I was.
