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.

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.

I was born on July 26th,
1961, at 12:00 Midnight, which makes me a Leo with an Aries rising and
a Capricorn moon. I am descended from a family of what
I would call Hereditary Witches, although most of them would not.
I began studying
Psychic Phenomena and Witchcraft with my Grandmother (honest! ) at
around age 7.
In my late teenage years shortly after High School, I formed
a small Coven in Cape May, . In the
early eighties I studied with a Faerie Based Coven in the
Philadelphia area, and was initiated . I moved back to Cape May
and began to reform the old group into the Covenant of Rhiannon
Community, along with
The Late Rev. Grace Kemelek, a student of the Late Sybil Leek.
Grace Taught me elements of the Horsa Tradition. On Mabon 2005, I
was
initiated into the Feri Tradition...finally validating my own link to
link to
Feri.

I was born on November,30 1971,at 9:30 pm on a Tuesday. a
sassy Sagittarian through and through. I was told when I was born I had
a partial caul. Some say that marked me as being gifted spiritually. I
have four wonderful children, and my nephew. I learn just as much from
my children as they do from me, as it should be I think. In I am going
on 21 years in April of being married to a wonderful supportive man and
he has not asked to trade me in yet!
I do own a small business hand crafting and customizing ritual
tools and Jewelry. Which I love. ,Most recently how ever I have
discovered my love of healing through Art and the use of Energy.
I feel my path in Feri has a strong hand in that passion for
working with energy.. I am a certified Reiki Master/Teacher in the Usui
Method, and on my way to becoming certified in the use of tuning forks
and sound healing.
My
life changes so fast. As do my views through experience and growth. My
story of how I wandered into the world of paganism is an echo of a
story we hear over and over, so I will not bore you with that the
important thing is I am here in the Now.
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. So I will tell
you this endearing tale of how I came to be on the road to Feri. 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 it was pondered upon and I 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!
