Follow Me

I am a practicing witch with a Celtic neopagan background. I am the founder and main organizer of a women’s pagan group based out of Maine, Witches of Down East. I am an avid reader and lover of history. At any given time you could find me buried in a book about Bigfoot, mythology, witchcraft, or UFO’s–just to name a few of my myriad interests. I am a keen traveler and somehow manage to get around quite a bit despite being a full-time student (pursuing a degree in archaeology). When I go somewhere, I tend to spend hours finding out about the obscure and weird places that seem to be found in every town. Luckily, my friends and family like to humor me and let me plan the travel itinerary, most of the time
