"As a polytheist, animist, aspiring herbalist, and spell-weaver who walks the crooked path, I read bones, 'ride the hedge' and stand on the razor's edge.
Honoring both the fragile and the feral; I befriend crows, admire owls and envy ravens. Herbs, powders, resins, oils and nature in the raw are the tools as befitting my craft; they lead me over windswept fields, into the riparian thicket and along forgotten shorelines.
I endeavor to receive messages in wind and rain, read portents in the wing-wake of birds and decipher symbols found throughout the natural landscape. A student of folk magic, my practice embraces natural and common items mixed with sea spume, regolith and moonlight.
As a ritualist and death-midwife it is my honor to serve my community by performing rites of passage honoring the current in both their collective and individual lives.
With over 50 years experience as a witchcraft practitioner, I honor the Old Gods, participate in community celebrations and continue to formally
train apprentices; my journey as a student and teacher in
the arcane and preternatural arena began in the early-sixties and
continues to this day.
As a mentor, I teach what can be taught, guide to the best of my ability, remain silent allowing inner connection, and finally share with students all I have observed when the time comes for them to walk the path without me.
I am anchored between the steadfastness of the cosmic arch and the rocky shore through the love and support of friends and community and two four-legged keepers of my hearth and home.
Respected and maligned,
Kindred to my kind,
Like them... I am a witch.

My name is Jennifer Wright and I run PaganPagesOrg Emagazine (http://www.paganpages.org). We are a free monthly, non profit, epublication on Witchcraft, Magick, Paganism in all it's forms.
I came across your blog and was wondering, if you would like, or had the time, if you would like a column in our publication. We have been out for over 6 years now. If you go into our archives section you will see, on the bottom of our page, issues going back around 6 years. We have interviewed and reviewed many well known Pagans.
If this is something that interests you, please let me know.
Much Love,
