*Circe: I have been following this magical path for 20 years when I checked out a book from the library called “Drawing Down the Moon”. During this time I got married (17 years) had 2 children, studied Taoist Tai Chi for 15 years, founded several pagan discussion groups and been a member of two covens. I finally found my Reclaiming home when I joined Magnolia Circle in 2002. I am a teacher of Elements of Magic and will have taken all the core classes this year. I have attended Dreamroads Witchcamp for the past two years.

My name, Circe, teaches me to look deep into the stories of the divine feminine and challenges me to transform my life. She asks me to face the painful stories told about my female self and transform them back into the stories of powerful women. I am an artist, a dreamer, a teacher, a lover and friend. I homeschool my two kids, love to garden, go camping, dance, laugh, sing, make love and create art with my hands and my words.
