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 locally. Events I've coordinated include an international death conference for Celtic polytheists called "In the Roundhouse of the Ancestors," in 2021, workshops on how to start or join a witchcraft group, and various social gatherings to help witches find one another. I am offering more teaching in the summer and fall of 2023.
