About Me....
Welcome, I am happy you have chosen to learn a little more about me and my Craft.
I started this journey of openly sharing my practices in 1999 with the website St. Craft. I also created the graphic above in the header of this site at that time, this graphic is now being used on many sites, with no credit given.
I am placing my photo on this page, because mainly I have research many sites on being Christian and magical practitioner (no I do not embrace Crowley's word of magick, because Crowley was a mad man) and almost exclusively none of these sites include images of the writer. I am confident and unashamed of my practices, therefor I have included my image. I have a winding path of both exclusive Christianity (in my eearly years) and exclusive Paganism, both were missing something for me, when I returned to what I knew, which was a syncretism of both these wonderful paths, I was far more on path.
My journey with syncretism of Pagan and Christian spirituality started in childhood. Contrary to some Neo-Pagan and fundamentalist Christian propaganda, the blending of The Craft and Christianity is actually not a new concept. We can see his syncretism in practices such as Vodou, Voodoo, Hoodoo, Stregoneria, Mexican Catholic Craft,, and Santeria to name a few. Folk magic practices of South are steeped in Judeo-Christian beliefs , and the spells, magic, and healing works!
From an ealry age I had extra sensory gifts. I journeyed into some forms of Christianity which could not or at worse explained these God given gifts as 'evil'. As I grew and learned more this was something that I could not accept. I was the odd child who was suspended from elementary school for performing seances and giving readings with a home made deck of cards (made from index card and hello kitty stickers). At the age of 12 , through a friend's family I was exposed to Hoodoo and Vodou, this opened my eyes up to a new way of viewing not only my faith but gifts. I journeyed through many forms of Christianity to the other side of the spectrum into full blown Paganism, both lacked something for me. Modern Christianity lacked the connection to nature and use of The Craft which I know to be real, Paganism lacked my connect to the deity of Jesus, which I also knew to be real an authentic. I found a Latin version of Catholic Craft which seemed to suffice both my needs. I kept these practices secret for many years. Finally , in 1999 I created a website about Christian Craft, I stepped out of my comfort zone and exposed my intimate practices for Christians and Pagan alike to scrutinize. What I found was, there were many people out there like me, walking the line between Pagan and Christian and trying to make it fit. It has been a journey that I shared both online, and with my closet Pagan friends.
At times I have attend both a Church and public Pagan rituals as well as practice solitary. However, my most sacred space is in the mountains of the desert, where I go to practice both in groups , with close friends , and solitary. My practice has brought me closer to my divine, my community, and my family. I can go to Solstice with my Pagan friends, Mass on Christmas eve with family , and serve both in the Pagan and Christian community. My practice is intimate, my own, and it has served me well. Paganism existed long before the Christian church, . Earth Based spirituality in fact existed long before people began worshiping gods in a way to understand the forces around us. Jesus did not cancel out these ideals, but rather strengthens them if you open enough to receive. Christianity made use of many Pagan ideas, it not such a stretch that one could use Pagan ideas to express their faith in the deity of Christ.
Spirituality is wholly personal and intimate journey, it is up to each one of us to decide what is for us. There are no rules or regulations, follow your heart and live life and connect with the Divine to the fullest in the way that serves you best. For me, that is celebrating and connecting to God, Jesus, Saints, Mary, Angels, and Nature through the art of The Craft. I revere the gods of old and enjoy the stories and legends of all cultures an archetypes, This blend does in no way take away from my personal faith or my gifts and the expression of these gifts and faith through the use of occult and Craft practices.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(BIO )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have inherited a gift that allows me to see into the spirit world. In acknowledging that this gift comes from God, I have been given many opportunities to share my experiences and help those who need encouragement and spiritual advisement.
I use my spiritual gifts in helping individuals and families. I also have worked with local paranormal groups . This gives me the opportunity to help those who are experiencing many types of paranormal activity.
My speaking and lecture engagements have included lecturing to different groups such as, Pagan Pride Day, Universalist Church, Art of Being Center, charitable events, guesting on podcasts, and being featured in books ,newsletters and the local paper. These wonderful experiences have given me the opportunity to talk about my passions, helping people , educating people, and spirituality.
I am a spiritualist who has been blessed with spiritual gifts that I use to give spiritual guidance. Being able to see , hear,, smell, taste, and feel that which is of spirit, I have helped many to connect with self and energies beyond our veil. I have been blessed in having the opportunity to help others by giving spiritual insight and guidance in the different areas of the life path.
