Expertise

I am able to answer most questions about Pagan religions and magic. I am particularly experienced in the areas of Hearth Magic and Kitchen Witchery, including magical cooking and gardening and Hellenismos including liturgy and mythology. I specialize in matters relating to Pagan children and family. I am also well-versed in Western European spirituality including Wicca and Druidry. I am unable to answer specific theological, historical or liturgical questions related to African Synchretic Spirituality (Santeria, Voodun, Umbanda, etc.) or Heathenry (Asatru, Odinism, etc.)

Experience in the area

I have been a Pagan for nearly 20 years and a NeoHellenic Polytheist for 10. I am currently the organizer for an all-path Pagan children's group, the founder and one of several organizers of the local Pagan meetup group and I maintain a regional website and newsletter for local Pagans as well as a website and newsletter for Hearth Witches. I have over 5 years experience planning and executing public Pagan events, particularly public rituals and family events. I have two teenage children of my own whom I have raised in our NeoHellenic tradition.

I'm not sure what exactly you want to do. It doesn't seem to me as if anything happened to do anything about. You want to do something to prevent a murder that's going to take place in another life? You

Well, if I'm agitated, and I don't mean to be, it's because this is Christian magick, not Pagan magick and so outside my area of expertise entirely. Pagans don't tend to call up demons. Most Pagans don't

2009-10-11 Something is "with" me after a cirlcle.:

Well, first off, Druids don't have Circles. Not that sort anyway. Most Pagans don't invite "beings" into their circles, except Gods and ancestors. That's Abrahamic magick. When inviting a "being" that
