My name is Halena (Xalina; Greek Spelling), but I go by Wiccan Countess or Countess. I am a rising Libra, Sun in Scorpio, and Moon in Pisces. I am half Greek and half Italian. I am from Queens, NY and currently reside in Georgia with my family and Dachshund Leo, who is 9 months old and sleeps in my lap every time I am at the computer.
I am a Traditional/Eclectic Wiccan High Priestess, Psychic and Astrologer. I have been practicing for over 9 years. At the age of eight I was introduced to the solar system by my older sister. I then became completely enamored of Mother Earth and our connection to the universe. I started learning through every venue I could reach on every Metaphysical subject. In my discoveries, I found that I came from a long line of intuitive visionaries, Witches, and magickal people. Having this lineage, my studies came easier to me. From working with family members, schooling, reading, workshops, and psychic fairs, I attained numerous certificates and degrees in Wicca, Astrology, Tarot, Numerology and other Occult subjects. I like to use these tools to help guide myself and others around me.
Although I have little time, I try to make some to balance all things I do. When I am not working or managing everyday routines, I like to make art, watch movies, play video games, write poetry, or learn something new.
I have been into digital art for as long as I have had a computer, which was somewhere around 2001. I am a visual person so I think I have always had a thing for eye candy. I have always been fascinated with graphics and wanted to learn. So I spent a few years reading tutorials, and spending lots and lots of time in Photoshop. Then sometime later on I met Silverywitch who taught me a lot as well and has become my best friend and partner in learning everything humanly possible about digital and 3D art design. We also run a couple of sites together; Witchy Designs and Myspace Magick.
I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. Whether we realize it or not, whether small or large, whether we like it or not, whether it’s a negative or positive thing, it all happens for a reason, and we usually find out at the end of the problem or situation. It’s a lesson we learn from, a help in making us stronger, and defiantly leads to more spiritual enlightenment. The past, present, and future are all the things that shape us to who we were, who we are, and who we will become. Knowledge Is Power! Having said that, I wish to empower all that I can reach.
Blessed Be,
Wiccan Countess
