Arashi Mahou means Storm Witch in Japanese. Kurei Arashi Mahou is tattooed down the upper part of my spine, so I figured the latter part of the tattoo would make for a nice (public) Wiccan name. Once again, I'm obsessed with nihongo.
I have been a proud, happy Wiccan since I was 12 years old. I actually believed in goddesses at age 9 when I began serious study of the Greek pantheon. After falling in love with the Greek history, I moved on to Egyptian deities. I've studied others, and am eclectic, but my primary focus is Egyptian-trad (with Greek as secondary).

* Wiccans all over the world seem to despise this woman and/or her writing. Hers were the first books I read as a child/teen and they made learning fun/easier. I reccomend these as early reading, but if you are already well-versed or super-picky, you may want to skip them. My habit is acquiring as much info and as many opinions/ideas as possible. Silver Ravenwolf (or $Rw if you dislike her) is a very well-known writer in the Wiccan community, but most people I encounter are not fans.
