I'm Katie.
But when I write, I sign as K.M. Alleena.

My Grandfather described writing like this: Putting together a story is like putting together a basket. Each piece by itself hardly makes any sense. It is when all the pieces work together that the story really begins to be told. I see it the same way. If I must weave fibers together to make a basket, then I must weave words together to write a story.

I am currently a Creative Writing Major with Minors in Anthropology and Native American Studies. I study at SUNY Oswego. I am the President of a campus organization that I founded, called The Oswego State Pagan Association. If I'm not busy being a student, I'm busy being a Witch -- that means I'm out by the lake, reading something metaphysical, walking around admiring the weather and scenery or chatting down at The Fey Dragon on Bridge Street.
I am a proud Pagan, and am currently studying and trying to make sense of Norse (as well as other Germanic) Mythology and the Runes. I connect with Loki, Thor, Sunne and Wodan. I identify as a witch, and as a writer. I love stories of any kind, from my Grandfather's ghost stories, to old folk tales, to poetry, to complicated novels or memoirs. I write Fantasy Fiction and Poetry most often.

I am an empath, and am trying to put into words just how that feels. I am not a healer; the rocks on my altar have that energy and ability. I read Tarot. I hear spirits, but I don't usually see them. I have a Macaw spirit guide. I am rooted and cannot fathom life among the stars. I love elemental spirits. Each thing that comes from the earth has an energy about it that can be used for magic. Meditation is essential. There is always something new to learn. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I make Jewelry. I am a lover of birds. I enjoy coffee, and am fond of tea. I know a few herbal remedies. All I do, it seems, is read and write. I watch Television just because of "Game of Thrones" and "Merlin." I adore Nintendo; specifically the Legend of Zelda series. I believe in radical self love. I believe in loving completely. I am a classic Pisces, but there are some plot twists. My Birthday is March Third. My favorite color is green. My favorite rock is Labradorite.

“Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.”
— Osho

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”
— Roald Dahl
