Child of the goddess

You were raised by druids, witches, oracles, mystics, shamans, or other practitioners of some natural tradition. Much of your formative life has been spent in close proximity to alchemy, arcana, witchcraft or spirituality of one form or another. Perhaps you were given a druidic, baptismal, or spiritual name during a ceremony or rite of passage. Either way, this tradition is part of your identity. You may be wary of anyone who openly opposes your tradition such as a colonialist, evangelical, or witch hunter.

Skill Proficiencies: Choose two skills you learned growing up with a mystical tradition.

Tool Proficiencies: Did you learn to play an instrument around a fire? Or perhaps to tell someone's fortune with tarot cards?

Languages: Choose an exotic language learned from your mystical upbringing.

Suggested Characteristics

Children of the goddess are shaped by their experiences with nature, magic, and self-discovery. Did they live in a shamanic tribe or druidic circle far from the buzz of civilization? Did they meet with a cult or coven in the secret room of a city tavern? The precise nature of their tradition or practice may have a great impact on their habits and paradigms. Their flaws may originate from a bitterness towards those who judge them or look down upon their lifestyle, or perhaps an acute distaste for the constructs of civilization.
