Coven of the Black Thorn Raven is part of the Clan of the Pale Horse and member of Black Forest Circle & Seminary.

My focus is to foster broad-based, tolerant and loving spirituality, helping the seeker to find the spiritual expression that suits them best. I employ the structure of lecture, lessons and homework so that the seeker may measure their progress through a traditional degree system. I hope that each student will truly connect with the divine in the way that speaks most clearly to them, and that they will use what they have learned to reach out the community, regardless of degree status. There are lessons and homework; there are Sabbats, feasts and fun; there are craft nights, drumming and songs; there are wiccanings, handfastings, and funerals; strangers become friends, and friends become family.

Through teaching and through example, my goal is to help the seeker discover and use his or her Goddess-given talents as ministers in service to not only the Hidden Children, but to the world-- in other words, to become ordained Wiccan clergy.

I teach Wiccan/Pagan spirituality and PA Dutch Pow-Wow using Black Forest lessons and lots of whatever strikes my fancy thrown in for good measure!

I am accepting applications from seekers wishing to study in a structured, but fun, program of learning and training. If any of this resonates with you please e-mail me concerning possible future COBTR membership and study. All serious inquiries will be answered. Adults only, please.

Much Love & Many Blessings,
