Unicorn Tradition

Birmingham, AL

Though raised in a Southern Baptist family, I left the Christian church in high school. I began reading tarot in college and studied various spiritual paths on my own for several years. After discovering Wicca in the early 90s, I dove into every book I could get my hands on and joined discussion groups on the Internet.

The Covenant of the Goddess website led me to Lady Arden. Beginning in the summer of 1995, I made the trek from Alabama to Atlanta to study, and dedicated with the newly formed Sylvan Forest grove on Ostara 1997. In 1998 I became a First Degree Initiate. I earned my Second Degree in 2001 and my Third in February of 2006.

My main magickal interests include the runes, tarot, and herbal magick. I’ve found that my long-time interest in natural healing complements my magickal studies and the two often become intertwined. I practice divination (rune casting and tarot) and teach classes on tarot, runes, and Wicca at local metaphysical shop Books, Beans and Candles, and also at special events.

In “mundane” life, I graduated from college with a B.F.A. in Printmaking and Graphic Design from the University of Montevallo in 1987, and I have been an art director and designer for over 20 years. I’ve had jobs in both publishing and advertising during my career. Currently, I develop projects in print, online, and interactive media for various clients from small businesses to large online retailers. I also design and create jewelry and other decorative objects.
