Hello everyone!

My Jedi name is Silmerion Skywalker. I've chosen Skywalker as my name because in it, there is everything I want to become as well as everything I don't want to become. For me, this name could be a kind of symbol of the Light Side and Dark Side of the Force. Silmerion comes from the word "Silmaril" created by JRR Tolkien, in his mythology, the Silmarils were jewels that contained a light which gave life to the magic island of Valinor.

I'm an artist, I'm french but I've been living in Italy for some years.

I have always felt the Force and tried to understand better Its mystery.
Some years ago, I lost my father and had a very bad period, but with the distance of time, I realized that this terrible experience allowed me to receive the great gift of the Faith through the comfort given me by the Holy Spirit. I became very religious and when I lost other loved ones, I've been able to accept it with more serenity and my connection with the Force even seemed to deepen.

I practiced Judo, Kung-Fu, Tae-Kwondo, Aikido and Storical Fencing (I like any kind of sword, not only for fighting art but also for their symbol), I've read and written about Medieval Chivalry, King Arthur's story and Tolkien's universe.
The discovery of Tai-Chi Chuan and Qi-Qong has been a decisive stage in my life, I began to read about Eastern Philosophy and understood Taoism more deeply.
A little more than five years ago, I realized what was the true nature of my research: the Force. I tried to create a group of study but I didn't find anyone. I started on my own, convinced that the Jedi Way was possible to live.
The Force taught me a lot and gave me more understanding to see people's needs and to help them better. This way of life made me really feel alive for the first time in my life. I found then the Tibetan Center where I'm learning Meditation and notions of tibetan medicine .

When I came to know of the existence of the Real Jedi, it sounded like a kind of miracle to me, as if I had found my home. Now I'm really happy to be part of this great Community and I feel in connection with all of you and I'm convinced that we can do something very good for the world.

I was trained in the Jedi Way by Jedi Master Kai Stormwalker.
I trained Tar-Palantir, Ben Skywalker, Jan-Qui Coran and Nakkali to Knighthood and I'm currently training other great Padawans.
I'm currently a Master and Council member at RJK, COJK, RH. I'm also a member of the OJM, the IJU and the JU project, as well as the KOA Forums.

I've never been able to attend one of your gatherings for now, because I'm far from the USA. I've always kept in the corner of my mind the idea to organize something in Europe though...

May the Force be with you all
Master Silmerion Skywalker

It's great to have you here, Silmerion! I've always enjoyed reading your posts the times I've peeked into RJK. If you need any help or advice with organizing a European Gatheringm just let me know. Hope to see more of you around the forums. :)

Thank you, Moonshadow!
I'll definitely think of an idea for a European Gathering.
I'll make a first step within some weeks, as I'll go to Manchester to meet two of my Jedi friends.
Within a few days I'll probably create a Topic here so that I may find even more Jedi in this area, I know many Jedi live in the UK.

Sounds great! I've been trying to organize a European or UK Gathering for quite some time but haven't had someone overseas to help me. If you do organize a European Gathering, though, I would recommend waiting until mid to late 2011 or preferably 2012 since there's going to be a NZ Gathering December 2010/January 2011.
