Welcome!
This is the part of the show where I tell you a little (probably a lot) about me! I never know what to share and what not to share, so please, bear with me!
​
I was born in upstate New York, raised in Arizona. And have lived all over the country, settling for the longest time in Colorado.
My life has been a series of seasons, huge life changes, burning everything down and starting all over again. I often say I not only grew up in Phoenix, I became one.
It all began with a soul reconstructing deconstruction from a mind numbingly fundamentalist Christian upbringing. Fostered as a young woman by a pair of compassionate human beings who "adopted" me as if a daughter, I abandoned my certainty and embraced that world was a big, beautiful place waiting to surprise me.
​
I walked out of university with a handful of degrees, one in religions, one in history, one in mythology, and minors in sociology, Latin and psychology.
​
You could say I just liked studying human beings, their search for Divine connection and life's meaning. I myself tried on a couple religions throughout the college years, first Buddhism, then Omnistic Spiritualism, then animism. I initiated with a shaman of the First Nations as well. And then, the path found me, and by the path, I mean the pagan path. (Keep reading below).
​
As anyone on the path can attest...
It very quickly became a pillar of my life, dabbling in divination and card work rapidly evolved into altar work, deity reverence and keeping up with the wheel of the year.
I began as an astro-chaos witch and, when archetypes popped up guiding me in new directions, evolved into a ceremonial priestess working with a handful of divine beings, most often from the Hellenic and Norse pantheons.
When I introduce myself, I say I am a "Partner, Pagan and Priestess." That is my whole deal. All I truly want to excel at. Being the best possible partner to my creative and kind Sagittarius husband. Fully embracing my passion for pagan practice in daily life. And finding new versions of human experience through the crafting of ceremony.
​
My favorite things about being alive are the sound of rain on a summer afternoon, the taste of a perfectly balanced black manhattan, the smell of fresh pizza dough and the color of a foggy morning. ​
​
I have been known to repeat the same Aurora song for 5+ hours when working on my novel. I actually really enjoy organizing things, building spreadsheets and creating check lists just so I can cross off simple things that I almost forgot to do, like eat breakfast.
​
I am deeply human
99.9% certain I am AuDHD (undiagnosed) and sometimes I don't get a reference or a joke until the awkward silence is long enough to make even me uncomfortable. But I love to laugh! I also love to happy cry, so if you find any videos of people singing or dancing together or puppies being reunited with their owners... please send them to me!
​
I understand other people largely through astrology. And myself largely through poetry.
​
I have a cat named Athena that I routinely call anything but her actual name. I usually forget to drink every cup of tea I brew at least once and have to heat it up again. I love to dance but I am atrocious at it. I prefer solitude to crowds but I am a natural born public speaker.
​
I am honored to be "the traveling pagan wedding officiant". Having been to Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, England, France, Italy, Switzerland, Canada and Mexico as well as 46 of 50 states in the US. I speak enough Portuguese and Spanish to have the native speakers confused when I admit I am not actually fluent. I speak enough French to apologize for not speaking French. And I am actively learning Dutch. But I am fluent in English, Latin (yes, Latin) and sarcasm, so that has to count for something.
​
Crafting ceremony is such an joy. Every day I go to "work" is a day I get to create, with someone who was once a stranger, lifelong memories. I get to know you, to learn about you, to share your story, to be a part of it!
My favorite ceremony moments are the one's where we laugh unexpectedly. And I have been known to shed a tear during personal vows because by the time we get to the altar, we've most likely become friends!​
