I'm a Celtic polytheist witch, a dowser, a seer and an enthusiastic sacred site traveler. I work with altered states, seership, divination, ancestor veneration, folkloric faery tradition, and have working relationships with several Celtic deities. I grew up in New England, currently live in Oregon, and am a hereditary witch who grew up in a different but wonderful tradition. In the mid-1990s I co-founded the Strand by Strand Collective, Portland's first public ritual group in the Reclaiming Tradition. I trained and taught in the Reclaiming Tradition for many years, including years in a teaching collective, and various circles, covens, and magical activism groups. I am a member of a circle in Portland, and teach workshops and lead events from time to time. Currently I'm working with two other Celtic polytheists to put together a conference on death practices called In the Roundhouse of the Ancestors: Death work and death care in Celtic polytheism. It will take place on October 16, 2021.
