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 a keen traveler and somehow manage to get around quite a bit despite being a full-time student (pursuing a degree in archaeology).
