Experience For over twenty years have I been a practicing Wiccan and practitioner of Western Ceremonial Magick. Thus, I am always looking to network and communicate with other like minded individuals who are looking to explore the spiritual and metaphysical boundaries outside of the confines of the commonly accepted mundane parameters.
Education/Credentials Long have I traveled down the path of spiritual growth. I have been initiated into and am learned in several esoteric orders. My educational studies have been very eclectic. I am a professional with multiple degrees from mundane institutions, and multiple degrees from less "traditional" institutions as well as years of "self-taught" learnings from practitioners of various "crafts." I am a certified Usui Reiki Master, Tibetan Reiki Master, and Chikara-Reiki-Do Master.
I was Ordained (by certification & ordination letter) through the Universal Life Church (ULC) and Monastery in 2001.
I also have an education in comparative religions and serve as a traveling Pagan Clergy Minister. I practice Wicca and Western Ceremonial Magick and observe the rites of both. By practice I observe the Sabbats, Esbats, and Full & New Moon Rituals. I do teach students and am a certified Instructor of Metaphysics.
Please note that I am licensed to perform legal marriages. The majority of states have defined a legal marriage as a legal and ceremonial union between a male and female couple.
Paganism and Modern Wicca/Witchcraft as belief systems are more relevant today than ever. I feel that as human beings the need for belief in a higher power(s) is/are instinctive and necessary for survival.

Expert: Mabon Stag Date: 8/18/2008 Subject: Follow the thumb?
Question Hello Mabon
I am in a band making music with my friends. One of the friends talks often of Led Zeppelin and a ritual they followed called following the thumb (or something similar)The ceremony was used so that the four elements of the band could fuse and create a higher fifth element. I think this friend needs the ceremony to let it all go. Perhaps he is taking me to a place where I can access my creative aspect. Either way I wish to know more about the circle of thumb, following the thumb, what it is that he is trying to say to me. Many thanks and merry met to you.
Answer Well met Kevin,
They were following the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram and/or The Enochian Pentragram Banishing Ritual based off of principles of the Golden Dawn system of Magick. This/these rituals were most likely used to clear their work space from negative & malevolent energy/sprits and offer protections. A check into the many books and internet sites will give you the proper background if you choose to do investigate. It is too lengthy in this forum.
