Expertise

I can answer most basic questions with respect to eclectic Wiccan theory and practice, history, ideology, etc. I am not willing to provide spell information or spellwork ideas to anyone, and will not provide divinatory services (ie tarot etc) in this forum. I will answer questions about Wicca and Paganism in general, but not with respect to my personal tradition. While I am a social worker, I will not and cannot provide personal counseling as this goes against my ethical and professional boundaries. I am also pleased to answer questions about women-centered spirituality and history to the extent that I am able.

Experience

I have been a practicing Wiccan for over ten years. I was first Initiated at Ostara 2002 by the now dissolved group Circle of the Goddess (COTG) to First Degree. I consequently ran a study grove and have taught several students.I am currently a Second Degree Priestess, Third Degree Dedicant in the Sacred Mists Tradition. I'm a legal marriage commissioner for my province. I am also a member of the Sisterhood of Avalon (SOA) and joined at Calan Gaef 2007. I have experience with respect to : Tarot, Dreamcrafting, Ritual structure, teaching, mentoring, rites of passage. I am also a Reiki practicioner.
