Expertise

I can answer most basic questions with respect to eclectic Wiccan theory and practice, history, ideology, etc. I am not willing to provide spell information or spellwork ideas to anyone, and will not provide divinatory services (ie tarot etc) in this forum. I will answer questions about Wicca and Paganism in general, but not with respect to my personal tradition. While I am a social worker, I will not and cannot provide personal counseling as this goes against my ethical and professional boundaries. I am also pleased to answer questions about women-centered spirituality and history to the extent that I am able.

Experience
