Who am I?
Witch. Best Selling Author. Podcast Host. High Priestess. Publicist. Speaker. Blogger. Reiki Master. Certified Crystal Therapist
I am an English witch who has been walking the Pagan pathway for thirty-five years.
A working wife, mother and grandmother who has been lucky enough to have had 33 books published (so far),
some of them becoming best sellers.
My passion is to learn, I love to study and have done so from books, online resources, schools and wonderful mentors over the years and still continue to learn each and every day but I have learnt the most from actually getting outside and doing it.
I like to laugh and bake cake.
Host of the Pagan Portal Podcast, produced by Moon Books Publishing and released twice a month on the Moon Books YouTube channel and all your usual podcast providers, such as Spotify.
High Priestess of the KW Coven and an Elder at the online KW Magical Community.
A regular columnist with Fate & Fortune magazine, and Pagan Dawn.
You will find my ramblings on my personal blog and YouTube channel.
My craft is a combination of old religion witchcraft, hedge witchery,
kitchen witchery, Anglo-Saxon Paganism and folk magic.
It was my honour to be added to the Watkins 'Spiritual 100 List' for 2023
I am Associate Publisher for Moon Books Publishing
