For much of my life, I have lived and worked in rural areas
in tune with the seasons and tides of nature. Even as a child, I recognized the
divine hand in everything that surrounded me. As a country boy, I knew and
understood that life can only exist through death. I graduated high school in
1974, and set out on my own, trying to make my way in the world. Along the way
I discovered the Craft, and like most who are drawn to the Wiccan faith, I knew
that I had always been Wiccan. I just didn’t know what it was called.
In 1978, I joined the Army Military Police, was stationed in
Panama where in November, I helped clean up a mess created by Reverend Jim
Jones. The experience molded me, and showed me how a charismatic religious
leader can lead others down the wrong path. I was forced to take life, and I
came to understand that all of us have that darker nature. Finally coming to
terms with my own darkness, I found it was the source of our strength. But it
must be balanced with our light. We all possess the power and capacity to kill,
crush and destroy, but when balanced with love and compassion, that power can
be channeled into positive directions.
Initiated in 1980, I began teaching and training others in
1986, while continuing my own Craft education, study & practice. In 1997, I
began teaching more advanced courses and developed a Clergy course for advanced
practitioners in 2006. Early in 2008, I accepted a Bishop’s appointment with
Four Winds Fellowship, an interfaith organization, and a Clergy position with
the U.S. Federal Prison system. Additionally, I have had articles published in
Fate, Pan Gaia, Circle & Blessed Bee magazines.показать меньше
