DOAH!

Okay, so Amaranthea asked me from which culture Pandia originated. I'd forgotten, and so I've looked it up. She's Greek. Which, with the Roman/Etruscan Alpan, serves to bring into balance those two parts of me, too. The Greek and Italian.

I'd been a little worried that I was neglecting this portion of myself. I never really had very strong pullings towards the more English side of the family (though they are great cooks!), but I was always more "at home" with the Greek and Italian side of things.

I feel a little better about the name now that I've realized that it's not just a joining of these energies - it's a joining of the cultures, too!!!
