About Me

Hi, its Bethany. Thanks for being my MySpace friend. :D This is the new and up-to-date profile for yours truly as of Jan 19 '08.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Please check out my blog, 'The Poet and Her Pentacle' .
Spoken word poems, songs, podcast audio interviews at my Myspace Music page @ /aradiasong.
I'm an earthy Pagan priestess chick with an Interfaith twist and like to do activism toward religious equality for minority spiritual groups. There's other issues I care about strongly as well, including gender equality, reproductive rights, and drug policy reform.
I enjoy pursuing poetic and musical and artistic inspirations. I've got some of my art in my pictures album, and poetry in my MySpace Blog, so feel free to take a look!
I work my ass off in Washington, DC, and look forward to sunny days in San Francisco... one day.
I was recently published in Circle Magazine - winter issue - an article for my Pagan Activism work, a poem about religious freedom that I wrote, and some pictures of me doing activist work, etc.
You can also hear my 8:30min radio interview about the Challenges of being Wiccan on Interfaith Voices Radio (http://interfaithradio.org/node/152) - a February 23, 2007 interview.
