Biography

I was raised as far into the country as one could get in New Jersey in the 1950’s. Some of my favorite memories involve walking or fishing by myself or with my father at a nearby brook. Even though my father passed away when I was eleven, I never felt alone during continued explorations, and the woods remained my closest friend. My experiences in nature soon led to an affinity with earth-based pagan religions. I met my wife Rita in 1978 during the course of a previous field service job. It was she who introduced me to the earth-based Celtic ceremonial religions of Wicca. I found that Wicca validated my deeply felt spiritual beliefs. But after studying Wicca, I felt there was something missing. I reached back further than the early Celtic era and identified with something from our most ancient history. I came across Native American Shamanism. Rita fully supports my writing and publishing career. Today we enjoy occasional drives in the country. I enjoy woodworking and taking long walks.
