About Me



Each one of us is on our own path to wholeness. We crave to be more fully present in the world and find meaning and purpose. My journey has lead through many paths, through the gateways of fear and loss, to transformation and growth, spiraling deeper into the doorway of healing and renewal to truly know myself and achieve the Great Work.
I go to Bridgemont High School in San Francisco and am involved in their student council and theatre department. Some of my greatest passions are activism, veganism, environmentalism, and taboo conversations. I write for the Copper-Moon e-zine and will appear in the upcomming Witches Companion and 2009 Magical Almanac from Llewellyn Publications.
My life is a constant unfolding of spiritual understanding. I am slowly dedicating my ‘self’ to the service of the Gods, the forces the pervade Nature and the spirit world. My current practices are a mix of neo-paganism, Hinduism, shamanism, and elements of Western esotericism. I currently undergoing training in the Sha'can Tradition .
I am vegan for ethical reasons. I believe divinity shines through all beings and veganism is an essential to living in harmony with all lifeforms on earth.
