Pagan, Wiccan, Texan

About Me


"What makes you think she's a witch?"
"Well, she turned me into a newt."
"A newt?"
"...I got better."

Married Wiccan mom, w/2 daughters. I'm out of the broom closet, very public (just short of having a flashing neon sign attached to my head). Organizer of the San Antonio Witches, Pagan Parenting and Sabbat Theatre Meetups. I also maintain the San Antonio Pagans community web site .

I consider myself a traditional Wiccan of non-Gardnerian lineage. Pagan since the early '80s, Wiccan since '88. Initiated into Lycian Wicca in '93. Currently a coven priestess working towards ordination.
My blog is a mixture of Wicca, witchcraft and paganism, plus commentary on regular life. Content ranges from deep to tabloid. It's a crap shoot.
I'll be happy to steer you in the right direction concerning Wicca, witchcraft and paganism. But I don't personally do magick for anyone else. So don't ask me for a spell.

I'd like to meet:


Fellow pagans and pagan-friendly folks here in San Antonio TX and in general.

One of my reasons for joining MySpace is to see how Wicca and paganism are being passed on to and by the upcoming generation. It will help me, as a priestess, discover which areas need work.

I’m not interested in being Friended by music groups, on-line stores, product hawkers or anyone who believes they are a real-life vampire, werewolf or other than fully human.

If I cannot read your profile unless I Friend you, or your video-heavy profile crashes my browser, I will deny the request. Nothing personal.
