I’m mostly just a woman entering Cronedom who’s raised a large family; tried to write at various stages of life; explored the spiritual world from all levels and at opposite ends of the spectrum; and tried finding myself through a series of relationships, only to arrive at the conslusion that you find yourself best when alone, though this is usually not how women get to lead their lives, myself included.

In the course of life, I’ve become a published author, an ordained clergy, a holistic healer through the world of reiki & chakra balancing, and a professional psychic. I’ve went from years of solitary practice as a witch alone to being the High Priestess of my own coven, discovering a wonderful group of Sisters along the way.

Life is a series of progressions, encompassed by changes at regular and irregular intervals, interspersed with periods of stagnation that may be viewed as calm by the optimist. I’m still searching for answers to life’s numerous questions. The one thing I do know for sure is that I’m not finished. I want to continue this journey with eyes open and all possibilities a reality waiting to happen.
