About Me

Obsessive learner and lover of life. Author, healer, public speaker, civic instigator. Founder and former President of Cherry Hill Seminary, a Pagan seminary with students nationwide. www.revkirkwhite.com ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- I currently spend most of my time: 1) writing books on Paganism. My first two books, "Adept Circle Magick: A Guide for the Advanced Wiccan Practitioner" and its companion "Advanced Circle Magick: Essential Spells and Rituals for Every Season" are on the shelves and I am working on a third, fourth, etc. 2) traveling to festivals around the country speaking and teaching advanced Wicca, magick and healing classes. 3) teaching classes at home in Vermont. 4) working as Co-Founder of the National Association of Pagan Schools and Seminaries. 5) practicing and teaching healing: especially Oriental medicine.

My Interests

Religion, philosophy, and spirituality. Politics - local and national. Travel, cultures, history, medicine and healing, anything that makes me go "hmmmm". I want to learn everything.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone. I love people of all sorts - for friends, co-conspirators, and co-creators. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- I welcome contact for whatever reason, just to chat, talk, share ideas, or if you just want to be on my list of people I contact about classes and events I'll be at.

Music:

Like most everything except country music. Even some of that isn't too awful. Tend towards screaming guitars but like jazz, blues, punk, various alt. bands. Listen to a lot of classical at work.

Movies:

The Razor's Edge, Gandhi, Angel Heart, Matrix. Tolkien is good.

Television:

Do not watch it much but I like HBO's Big Love, Carnivale, the Simpsons, South Park and the Daily Show. My most recent obsession is/was Lost.

Books:

Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, The Illuminati! Trilogy and other works by Robert Anton Wilson. I am a copious reader ranging from classics to mind candy.

Heroes:

Every person I meet enthralls and humbles me with their beauty and courage. Everyone has an amazing story, even if they don't think so themselves. To be alive is a noble act so everyone is my hero.
