Biographies of Covenant of Rhiannon Members

Lady Ariana I was born December 17th 1962 at 11:00 AM...I have been practicing Witchcraft since 1987 when I met Bob Bitting at work, who along with Grace Kemelek, a descendant of Sybil Leek , initiated me into the "New Forest Tradition"...Bob and Grace both initiated me into the Welsh Faerie Tradition later that year.When Grace passed into Summer, The wand of the High Priestess was passed along to me. Since I was 5 years old, I knew I was "different"...My mother always "knew" things too, but she never spoke to me about it. I believe she passed her gifts over to me, although I was always fascinated with the occult, I never associated it to the way I knew I was. I am the mother of three children, Dylan, Shayla and Wade, and I am incorporating the magickal ways into our family life.
Henry Buchy I was born July 18,1957 at 12:00pm,Taurus rising,Aries moon with 5 planets in Leo,among someother strange alignments.I had what you may call a strange childhood,a description of which would be too long to go into.:-) I was taught by my mother to read at the age of three,besides her love,it was the greatest gift she could have given me.At the age of 12,I happened upon a copy of Lao Tzu,that began my interest in religious and philosopical systems.You may find it funny,but I learned much of what was meant in it from the t.v series"kungFu".By time I graduated from High school,I had read Both of Blavatsky's major works,The Baghavad Gita,selected Upanishads,Some of Croweley's works and The old and new testaments.My outlook on life tends to reflect a blend of Hindu,Buddist,and Taoist beliefs.My freetime pursuits are the study of ancient religious beliefs,legends and mythologies.In the last 3 or 4 years,I have begun to study the modern forms and uses of these ancient practices.I have yet to embrace any set tradition or path,except the path of study and knowledge,however,I am beginning to feel a tendancy towards the way of the shaman.

Wendy Conover I have never been good at these things,.My life changes so fast..as to my views through experience and growth. Lets see here A little bit about lil ole me. I am a 35 year old Sagittarius (I have no idea of the house addresses in my chart.. I got lost!) I always held a different view from others in my church when I was a child. I had the nerve to.....question .My Mother taught me very much about following my own path what feels right for me and my heart and soul .and so I did.. At 8 years old I decided that church wasn’t for me and allow my self to get lost in nature and the playful beauty of being a child. It was not until years later I learnt of a thing called Paganism. And was wowed by the diversity and open minded thoughts it allowed. There is no truer statement that when the student is ready a teacher will come, even that has layers every one I meet teaches me a lesson weather the circumstances are good or bad. Now how did I come to be here you might ask? Odd that really .to make Long story short as I can talk all day long. I was sitting in the salon to get my hair cut and my hair dresser plops down beside me" whatcha reading?" . Smiling I showed her the cover of Elemental power. She says then You "have" to come with me tonight to this book club. We read that sort of stuff.. Thoughtfully I pondered it and decided to just take the leap and went. that is how I ended up on this beautiful path of Feri~ness. Lucky them, they are stuck with me now! I have four wonderful children, and my nephew whom we home school. Yes, yes a fine line between brave and stupid. But, it’s a worth while trip with out doubt. I learn just as much from my children as they do from me .as it should be I think. I am going on 19 years of being married to a wonderful supportive man and he has not asked to trade me in yet!. I garden ohh I love my gardens. and it loves me back with the gifts of bright colors , scents and colorful inhabitants every year. I craft many things, from every day fun to ritual and divination tools. If you are in the local area you may already know my face. I am an artisan crafting one of a kind jewelry and many other items that I hope touches others on many levels to gift them a" Unique Expression of Self." I sell my art work at fairs and festivals and in a few stores. And of course on line.(My business info can be found in this sites links section) . I am ordained through the ULC. Really for the only reason for that is to be able to help people. Through events that change and transform there lives, rites of passage have always held a special place in my heart.
