Name: Medea |
 Craft
Background:I
was raised to believe the Pentecostal faith in rural Kentucky and
Tennessee. My paternal grandfather was at one time a Pentecostal
minister. At an early age I saw what it meant to truly walk in
faith by being raised by my maternal great grandmother. Even
though her faith was not what mine became, it gave me a background of
what belief in one’s God and following that path means. Although
I was fed the Pentecostal beliefs I also witnessed the spirit world as
well growing up. Both maternal great grandmother and maternal
grandmother had ‘gifts’ though they saw them as coming from the
Christian God. I learned at an early age the reality of spirits
and divination although later in life I drifted away from such things.
I was exposed to the Witch’s path when I was eighteen and kept being called back to it. I made life choices along the way which made it difficult to keep in touch with ones spirituality. I became involved in the recovery programs in 1994 and in 1998 (when I was 35) I self dedicated myself to the Gods and started on a solitary path. For sometime I only followed the God and Goddess and did not call Them by name. I traveled a lot looking for what I did not know until I landed in Roswell, New Mexico. There I met Oly, Enoch, and the other folks associated with the Temple of Hekate’s Torch. I embraced Hekate and began to realize for me She had always been there. My trials and experiences in life brought me closer to Her and in 2004 I dedicated to the Temple of Hekate’s Torch and became Her Priestess. In 2007 I became a Priestess of Apollo. I am back home now in rural Tennessee, this at Her bidding. I am now the High Priestess of the Temple of Hekate’s Torch Logos Nyx and dedicate myself to building a home for myself and my family and a sanctuary for those seeking the path of the pagan here in the bible belt. Change is slow but it comes and I am honored to be a part of that. My skills lie with elemental magic and divination. I study with Oly and others of like mind to hone these skills. And I walk with the Gods to guide me.  Knowledge,
Skills and Abilities: My
life has been greatly enriched since then and I have learned what it
truly
means to walk in faith. I now live in

them however is a different story.)After finally
realizing that Christianity was not for me (thank you clue X 4),
Ibecamepagan
and have continued being so for 5 years, as
well as, specifically studying Druidry and traditional Norse religion
for
the past 2.5 years.Hekate’s Torch was shown to
me by way of my druid mother introducing me to Oly and it has been an

Name: Brenna
Mar My actual "Druid" name is hard to pronounce even for me. Therefore, call me Brenna Mar which is "Raven maid of the Sea" in Irish. |
| Craft
Background: Raised a hereditary
Druid. At 9 passed first test for thoseseeking
to be Druid (test of Trust), second at 16 (test of magic) and third at
25 (test
of the Gods). I turned down an offer to join an Alexandrian coven
in 1973
because as I told them "I am pledged to the way of Oak and Ash. I
may serve no other." They wanted me to take an oath that would conflict
with those I had already given. At the death of my
great-grandmother in
1981, I became "Keeper of the Nine Seals" which guards the ancient
objects of power. (This happened in spite of my marriage to
someone
not "of the blood" i.e. not Druid. I have studied Celtic and
Norse lore, magic and herbs for longer than I care to
remember.
 Knowledge,
skills, and abilities:
Mastered
several forms of divination including Ogham, Runes, Tarot, Scrying, and
some
more obscure, like bird flight, which I leave out for space
considerations. Blessed/cursed with second sight and astral
projection/remote viewing. Magic abilities include:
song
spells (Druid and Norse), trance magic including Seidr, Spae, Galdr
(singing
runes), herbal potions, plant, stone and other forms of Earth magic,
bindrunes
and other forms of Runic and Ogham magic, warrior magic, weather magic
and many
different types of energy healing including tonal. I have given
lectures
on herbal medicine, Celtic/Druid lore and various workshops including
potions. I write rituals in either Druid or Norse traditions (I
don't mix
them!). |

| Craft
Background: Raised in various aspect of the craft
since 14 years of age.
Mother was of an interesting path of the "Craft". Formally a
student of the"Craft" for 16 years in the tradition of Shamanic Wicca
or Shamanic pagan aspects.
 Knowledge,
Skills and overall
greatness
I have some learning of Lakota traditions as well as some learning of Celtic Shamanic traditions. I prefer to look into the male mysteries and have been called a redneck pagan at times due to my love for the hunt and all that outdoor stuff. (no, I can't stand Budweiser) There have been numerous other curious tracks that I have learned from and will continue to learn in a meandering method as the whim strikes me. I come from the Albuquerque region and am part of the Central New Mexico community. Currently, I love to sing the tradition as well as tell children stories that explain to our young some of the lessons of the Craft. Therefore, my skills are bardic, male mysteries and being the great and fantastic father that I am. |

Name: Camulus |
| Craft
Background: I come
from a staunch Christian background. Most of my life I was
bounced between being a Baptist or I
broke away from my family and Christianity when I saw the grace “a good
Christian” could provide to people that came to them for help.
Two of my good friends had their lives ruined and were literally ran
out of town by the church (because one came out about being gay, and
the other got pregnant out of wedlock). I’ve
studied martial arts since the age of 12 and used martial arts
meditation to help release and embrace my abilities. For the
longest time I was a solitary witch practicing Wicca but realized that
it was not quiet the right fit for me. I eventually was
introduced to a grove ran by Brenna Mar and everything just felt
right. I now study and practice druidism as an apprentice of
Brenna. Through
my grove I had the fortune to be introduced to the Knowledge, skills, and abilities: My greatest gift is an open mind, my greatest skills are self defense and being a good politician, and my knowledge is limited but I am working on that with Brenna and Oly |
