Your journey begins today.

I've been there...


I first began my journey as a witch over 20 years ago.

Back then, there were limited online resources and one day I was randomly called to head into the bookstore. I scanned the titles in the New Age section and the only author that I recognized was Silver Ravenwolf. I blindly purchased one of her books and by the following morning, I had read the entire thing.

I went back the next day for another book. And then another. And another.

I had finally found a spiritual path and religion that resonated with me.

20+ years later, here we are. I have been teaching in groups and privately for almost 10 years, all around New England. I have led several covens and am now the High Priestess of Foxfire Coven here in Salem, MA.

I am so happy to have you here with me.

Welcome.
