Themiscyra - Year TEN


	This page celebrates the TENTH year of Themiscyra and the Amazons who populate it. Below you will find tributes to our tribe, from our tribe. Deoris It is my honor as the current Queen of Themiscyra to welcome you all to the celebration page for our 10th anniversary. Themiscyra was founded on September 19th, 1999, when the very first forum opened wide it's arms and embraced the women who wanted to role play Amazons. To those women who stepped through the gates, we celebrate you today even though you are not among us any more. Without you, we would not have each other. Please enjoy the offerings of the sisters of Themiscyra to the sisters of Themiscyra. Opah Nodil, Themiscyra! Note - Some graphics are small on this page to conserve space. Just click to enlarge. The music you are hearing is "Sacrifice" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Gift".

Celosia I'm happy to hear that Themiscyra and its members are still going strong and supporting one another. The love and devotion that the members over the years have shown for the group is astounding and astonishing and heart-warming and just plain wonderful. Here's to 10 wonderful years, and hopefully many, many more. Willow Click to enlarge. Jadea Jadea made quite a lot of graphics for the anniversary and they are scattered throughout the page. Bryseis I know I missed people, but I was trying to capture some quotes that were funny or could easily be taken out of context. I meant no disrespect by forgetting anyone. Like Jadea's, these will be scattered throughout. Alexandra Alexandra has linked to some fine videos she found that shows how she feels about Themiscyra. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aWe6808u9w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izYTskwE0As Kou Wainohia Philomena Evolution In the midst of the battle, ever-raging in the world by the people in ourselves, a few stand tall, proud. We are the warrior women, repressed by those who don't understand, depended on by those who can't fight alone. In the chaos of life, ever-present in the world by the people in ourselves, a few crawl out of the obsidian depths, disciplined. We are the warrior women, concrete in the face of adversity, soft as water in the face of others' pain. In the secular twist of the fate, ever-changing in the world by the people in ourselves, a few create a better place, survive. We are the warrior women, evolving since the dawn of time, continuing into the future generations. Quecia & Lupa Valkyra We women have been Athelfi and warrior women for ten years now. Nai, this is a time for celebration of Themiscyra and commemoration of our Foresisters like our Gienasata Celosia and the others like Medea, Thalia, etc. It seems not long ago that I looked for a role playing group of warrior women on the internet. There, I found Themiscyra, Amazon Nation. The women there had similar tastes as I. I quickly applied for membership and was quickly accepted. I had a feeling that I would develop friendships that would last a long time; I did. I also felt that Themiscyra would be a good place to sharpen my writing skills, and it was (with the help of you, my Athelfi). So, as it says on the first page of our website: "Welcome to Themiscrya, Land of the Amazons!" My dear Friends and Athelfi, may we always be around to extend this greeting to our sister warriors. Jadea I Sing Myla Click to enlarge! Myla has composed a video for you to watch. http://www.youtube.com/user/AmazonMyla Click to follow! (Oh...and more to come!) Bryseis Selena I wrote this about the way Themiscyra as a whole makes me feel. All the sister's in it, the power of all the love that is in the tribe and the power of friendship. Knowing that you are all there for me is something I've been amazed by over and over again. Witnessing the caring in which is presented time and again is just astounding to me and I feel truly blessed to have that in my life. I love you all. Love Selena Whole Again When I am lost, You find me. When I’m unable to breathe, You coax the air into my lungs. When I’m feeling abandoned, You collect me up within and help make me feel whole again. A reawakening of the spirit, Of past, Of love, Of life, Of infinite wisdom. You gather me. You fill me. You protect me. You love me. I am whole again. By Selena Bryseis Kiran (More to come!) Etelka To each and everyone of my sisters thank you for being the biggest constant and best friends in my life. You all truly help me to be fearless! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZYDfPOntmo Jadea Damia Unfortunately, I didn't finish all seven before the deadline but I am continuing to work on the ones remaining! When I finish them I will most likely post them in the forums. I also have multiple versions of these and will post those as well as soon as I get the remaining four done. I hope you all like them and think they are an appropriate anniversary gift; I am open to any opinions and feedback. Happy Anniversary Themiscyra!!! Paidi To all my athelfi, I was working on a video for our great celebration. Unfortunately I could not finish it in time because we where struck by an invasion of bugs we had to get rid of and my assignment took about half a week longer then expected. Therefore I was unable to express my feelings for my athelfi. That is why I write you wonderful girls this letter. I don’t want you to think I have forgotten about you because you are all on my mind every single day. You ladies are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I found Themiscyra in a time when I was very low. Every time when I thought I had hit rock bottom I kept falling even further. Some athelfi know what I am talking about. They shared their wisdom with me, they let me cry, wine, laugh, shout whatever I needed to do, they let me do it and stood by me. Themiscyra was the only bright thing in my life and it has turned it around. I now feel like a strong in depended woman. I can stand on my own two feet and make it out there in the big bad world. I can do that because I know every single one of you has my back. And, my sweet sisters, I have yours. You made me stronger and I don’t know how to pay every single one of you back for that, besides the fact that I can tell you how much I love you all. I can tell that, but please know that words can not show you how much love and affection I have for you athelfi. I am proud to be Tae’nah and I say: Cu ena durus Tae’nah arcis! Paidi Bryseis Rowana Bryseis Kiran Myla Myla would like you all to visit her new YouTube channel - where she has 2 videos waiting for you! Be sure you watched her first video first! http://www.youtube.com/user/GladiatrixLioness Priene Bryseis Kiran Jadea This is a power point presentation. This powerpoint was created using Microsoft Powerpoint 2007. Whenever you see a megaphone icon, click on it to hear a sound byte. The music you should hear throughout the presentation is the song "Irish Heartbeat" by Van Morrison. In order for the PowerPoint to work, please go to the Tavoto Mousike site as you did for Faela's music, download and save the file, then open. Livia / Eve My super top-secret hush-hush gift. I sent Adrienne a message on Facebook and was STUNNED when she replied - with this message for all of you. She was just amazing about this gift and enjoyed her visit to our website very much. I shared the past tribute pages and will be sending her this one as well. This is verbatim what she sent. Please enjoy! Bryseis Deoris As usual, I made something for everyone. Basically, it's your portraits done with fancy frames. In most cases, I followed a lesson plan that made the frame. However, by the end, I was making them up as I went. So some are unique creations. Don't ask me which was which, however! LOL! I hope you enjoy them! Please go here to view. There are 2 pages! And you can click the thumbnail to view the 2009 Year 10 Montage! Thank you to everyone who had a hand in the celebrations. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Your contributions were all lovely and heartfelt. Thus ends the celebration page! So begins year Eleven!
