Do you consider yourself a Wiccan, witch or other?:

eclectic pagan/witch, some fam trad

Do you follow a tradition?:

fam trad & lots of eclecticism.  

Do you have a patron god/matron goddess?:

because i am a performance artist, i work a lot with ganesh (patron of performing arts) & pan (the first theatre critic). also inanna & selu the corn mother.

Do you work with a pantheon?:

not in particular, though i tend to work with a lot of the “dark” goddesses.

Are you a solitary or in a Coven?:

well, i’m not in a coven, but i’m not exactly solitary, either. there’s a local group, called SIPA, that i go to public rituals with.

How long have you been practising?:

i was raised pagan.  i had a small run-in with christianity (teenage rebellion is weird), but that didn’t last long.  

How did you find your path?:

my mother made sure her children were encouraged to educate themselves about religion of all kinds; she’s eclectic as well with some few native american beliefs (my grandmother was native american, but most of her tribe’s practices got assimilated into larger tribes & were beat out of her in catholic schools) though she tends to work with the egyptian pantheon. i’ve always worked with whichever god/desses or spirits seemed to be calling me at the time.

Do you practice any techniques of divination?:

i’m actually pretty damn good with tarot, though i haven’t memorized the cards. :/ like most of the women in my family, i sometimes have dreams that show future events, though not typically super important ones, lol.

Do you have any familiars?:

i used to have a mouse familiar, & my cat likes to hang out when i meditate (but i don’t think she’s my familiar).

Favorite books/authors?:

The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk is one of my favorite books ever, and right now I’m really digging Christopher Penczak.
