Greetings from New Zealand. I'm a 60 year old guy; born in New Zealand, with English/Scottish ancestry. I've been a pagan for about 20 years. I was quite happy here until 9 years ago we had 5 months in Britain. IT FELT LIKE HOME!!! We both havent been able to settle in NZ since. We had another 8 weeks earlier this year, and just wanted to stay. But this is not possible. This land is Maori, but we honour our ancestral Gods, and link to the land of our ancestors. This is tearing us apart. Some one once said, "A dog can be born in a stable, but that does not make it a horse" Well this old dog thanks you for providing this interesting website, and I will try to contribute intelegently, but mostly I will have to just read. Thankyou to the person who posted on "Nemetron" about this site; And a big "Hi" to Midori whom I recognise from a "Forest" somewhere.

Greetings A lot of my family live out near Auckland, but I've never visited. I do have some Maori relatives I can understand the hiraeth for Britain. While I love visiting other places (not for the last few years though, my passport expired!), I don't think I could truly settle anywhere else.
