Knowledge sought is wisdom gained. Seek ye well!

I am a pagan witch living in the southeastern USA, in the Piedmont region nestled comfortably in the low foothills of the Appalachian mountains. I am technically a Wiccan Priest (the Sacred Circle Coven of the Lower Piedmont, which is currently not a proper, active group, due to various and sundry reasons), though my studies have sent me strolling through various reconstructionist paths (Celtic and Gaulish), through the heavens above (typical white-light new-age stuff like Wicca) and through the darkest pits of the abyss (Shamanism, demonology, and - though purely academic - demonolatry). My personal faith can only be defined by the word Pagan. I believe in many things, and I proudly respect the implications of "those who cannot hex, cannot heal."

I walk a quiet path among the entwined roots of the World Tree, with one foot ever in the light, and another in the darkness; one hand reached for the upperworld, and the other down towards the underworld. Mine is a doctrine of balance, which quite often catches me some flak from the purely "white-light-only" practitioners of the Craft... but so be it. This blog is a window into my personal shrine - that is to say, the very center of my soul. Be kind to me if you wish, but know that unkind words will be met with thrice the fury (unless, of course, it's warranted... never fear to call me out on my bullshit).

Also. Sun in Virgo, Moon in Taurus, Sagittarius Rising. For those of you that keep up. Mercury and Mars in Libra; Venus and Pluto in Scorpio; Jupiter in Cancer; Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all in Capricorn. North Node in Aquarius. And seed in the stars.
