I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a thirtysomething philanthropic idealist who lives in her dream house next to a farm in Hatfield, PA with a fabulous husband, a shiny black cat, a fluffy dog, and a beautiful daughter. I am the director of a college library, owner of a holistic health center specializing in women and children, and a college professor (I teach history, creativity, & information literacy). I am also a professional belly dancer. I teach belly dance classes in my Hatfield studio, and I am the director of Vesperus dance troupe, which focuses on the sacred and energetic nature of belly dance. I lecture around the Philadelphia Metropolitan area on esoteric topics such as guided visualization, Italian folk magic, Stregheria, ecstatic trance, sacred dance, faery work, and ancient Roman religion. I am the high priestess of the Order of the Evening Star , a chartered Order within the Clarian Temple of the Religio Terranova , a legally recognized "church" in the state of Pennsylvania with a pending 501(c)3 federal non-profit status. I am a strega high priestess in Lori Bruno's line. I also hold the teachings of a Italian family tradition of witchcraft out of Lazio and Abruzzi.
What type of Fae are you?
What Mythological Creature Are You?
You Are a Chimera
You are very outgoing and well connected to many people.
Incredibly devoted to your family and friends, you find purpose in nurturing others.
You are rarely alone, and you do best in the company of others.
You are incredibly expressive, and people are sometimes overwhelmed by your strong emotions.
What kind of Pagan are you?
You scored as Roman Pantheonic Pagan, You are drawn to the Roman Pantheon. Most names of our planets come from this group, including: Jupiter, Pluto, Neptune, Mars and Venus to name a few. A little less mainstream than your Greek cousins, and often confused for them, you know that there's a difference between the two pantheons and are quick to remind others of those differences. A little more down-to-earth than your Greek cousins, you tend to enjoy fact before fiction, and though no less lusty and romantic, you are more logical about your actions.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

President Bush, so that I can give him a piece of my mind. I'd love to meet the Dalai Lama, as his centeredness and compassion inspire me greatly. I'd love to have coffee with Leonardo Da Vinci, as his life is the basis for many of the topics I teach at the college.



I'd also like to meet other Pagans in the Philadelphia Metropolitan area. If you're around, please join a wonderful local e-list that welcomes all paths:
