Lady
of the Harvest
Board Member, Director of Education
Western Astrology and Celtic Spirituality
Growing up in a fundamentalist Christian household and a Jewish community,
Lady of the Harvest was easily persuaded by my family to pursue christianity
to its highest level of scholarship and in college, she studied "biblical
languages", double majoring in Hebrew and German. After a prolonged
personal trauma which lasted close to 15 years, she found herself emotionally
wounded and grasping for something more satisfying. Thus she left the
Christian path for an Earth-based spirituality. For the past several
years she has pursued Celtic Shamanism and core Shamanism as she studied
her family's Scottish-Celtic roots. A strong scholarly background gave
her the tools to pursue self-study in many areas including gemology,
the tarot, candle magick and astrology. She lives on a farm in with six
Terriers, one Papillon, and a Maine Coon cat. Her husband, Charlie, remains
in the Christian faith but is open-hearted and respects the beauty of
the Earth paths that honor this planet and all its relations.

Board Member
Shamanism,
Magickal and Medicinal Herbology
Shady has been an active participant in Wicca for only a few years now, but
has heard the calling since birth, ever present in her life, urging her onwards
and never letting go. She feels very passionately about helping to teach
the paths that have changed her life. Her current interest is Draconic Magick.
She has been practicing as a solitary, using a little bit of everything she
learns. She feels learning is something we never stop doing. Everyone has
something to contribute no matter how long they have been on the path, we
only need to open our hearts and minds to listen. She enjoys writing poetry
and some short stories, reading, learning, music, my family, nature, and
teaching. She became an active participant in the Campus ages ago, and has
faithfully contributed here and in the shaman ic"Sacred Circle" wing.

Ariel
Wyon Odin
Staff Representative Board Member
Ariel has been studying/practicing Wicca for a little over 5 years now. She fell in love with the campus and moved with us when we moved from MSN. Ariel was studying as an eclectic solitary and decided she needed more structure. After several personal battles and coming back recently from a personal meditative sabbatical she has re-grounded in her Wiccan path and is looking forward to welcoming and encouraging and helping new students and is looking forward to teaching again sometime in the future. Ariel practices Candle Magick and is very interested in Celtic history, astrology, divination and healing and is looking forward to learning the ways of the Shaman. Ariel is happily married, lives in MI, is a Nurse Supervisor in a nursing home near her town, and is the proud mom of two teenaged boys.

Phoenix
Magical Crafting
Phoenix is a happily married, 36 year old, work at home, mom of two, living in rural PA and has been on the Pagan Path for about 5 years. Crafting has been a hobby of hers since early childhood and as a profession for about 10 years. She figures you tend to pick up a few things when you are born with… an inquisitive mind, a father who is a professional “Jack of all Trades”, and a mother (and both grandmothers) who are seamstresses and who all were active Girl Scout, Boy Scout, and 4H leaders at one time or another.

While still in undergraduate school she met a psychic who introduced her to a master teacher who had spent her life compiling the Ancient Wisdom Teachings which she published under the rubric, The Pages of Shustah. This teacher taught The Wisdom Teachings to a select group of students. ... learned cosmology as it manifests this universe through the Rays of color; she studied color therapy of the aura, the Holy Kabbalah, and she also studied the Human, Devic, and Spatial evolutions under this master teacher. She has studied the writings of The Mother, the female partner of Sri Aurobindo, an avatar who taught in Pondicherry, India. From the Mother she learned more about the mind of the cell and conscious evolution. She has also taught A Course in Miracles.
