About Me

I am a hereditary Celtic Witch, 58 years old, married to a wonderful man and living at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I like being 58 years old - I say what I think, mean what I say and don't much give a damn who likes it. This and wisdom are the gifts that age gives women. To attempt to postpone the process is idiotic, not to mention futile. I am a poet, a novelist and a master gardener. I am not actually Wiccan, but Myspace isn't very versatile in that respect, and Wiccan is as close to Witchcraft as they come. I am an amateur rosarian, and growing roses is part of my practice of the Old Religion.
