About Me
I was born and raised in the South, and my spirituality flows from my experiences with the land there. I've been fortunate to have wonderful teachers in the Craft and in life. There's a special place in my heart for music as magic. I appreciate highly structured, disciplined ritual (which I enjoy as a Gardnerian initiate), and also wild ecstatic work (which I enjoy as a Feri initiate). Waxing Moon Circle is my home coven.
