A Bit About Me
Hello seekers! I am Colleen, a 3rd-degree pagan priestess, teacher, lover of magic, nature, and the elements. My path is one of honoring the wild, the divine, and the eternal dance between them. I am dedicated to helping others reconnect with magic and divinity within themselves.
Rooted in nature and guided by the wisdom of ancient paths, I’ve spent many years learning, leading rituals, teaching earth-based spirituality, and building inclusive spaces for pagans and seekers alike. My practice celebrates both the wild and the human spirit, honoring the power of community, creativity, and transformation within ourselves. As a lifelong lover of the natural world, I draw strength from the earth and sky, the elements, and the energy that connects all beings.
Together with my fiancé Steve, my partner in both magic and life, I live a life steeped in wonder, ritual, and reverence. Together, we share our home with five feline companions whose presence reminds us daily of the magic woven through even the quietest moments..
My leadership is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and the belief that magic lives not only in ritual but in every act of love and creation. I guide others in exploring the sacred within and around them, helping each soul rekindle its connection to the elements, the ancestors, and the great web of life. Through community, ritual, and compassion-centered practice, I seek to keep the flame of pagan wisdom burning bright for all who seek its light.
