I live in Columbia, SC, and have been a Wiccan for 11 years. I am an Earth Witch/Green Witch and went back to being a vegetarian 5 years ago, lost 40 pounds, and also gave up sugar and dairy. And I am a gardener with 3 flower gardens in my yard and a container garden in my office window (large window with very wide sills) where I grow fresh spinach 365 days a year. I have been involved in feral cat rescue for almost 30 years and currently have 4 housecats (all tamed ferals) and a feral colony of 8 cats I care for. There were 21 cats in this colony over a year ago, but I slowly got them all spayed and neutered and have been finding homes for them. No surprise my Patron Goddess is Bast, the Egyptian cat goddess!
I am a writer by profession and run a publishing company called Kittyfeather Press that publishes my series of Occult novels for women. Each novel in the series weaves an entertaining story, as well as including useful information about feral cat rescue, how to shrink uterine fibroids naturally, herbal remedies, surviving perimenopause, and more. Each chapter also contains a spell, chant, or ritual that works. It is important to me, as a Witch, that there should be novels in the marketplace portraying contemporary Pagans as we really are in everyday life. That means the characters in my novels face the same problems as anyone else (marriage difficulties, divorce, financial challenges, illness, self-esteem issues, etc). But because they are Witches, they use magick to solve their problems, making these books great fun to read, whether you are Pagan or not.
I also write Pagan articles for magazines across the web. I have been married for 28 years and live in a house next to a state forest, which is where my feral colony lives.
Oh, this is funny! After I went back to being a vegetarian I was sitting on the sofa one day, and I suddenly realized all the leather purses I loved were the hides of dead animals. Don't ask me why this NEVER occurred to me before, but it didn't. But when it did it was as if I had been struck by lightning. So I boxed up all my leather purses and shipped them to women's shelters across the country and now never wear anything with leather on it, not even a small amount. It has opened up an entirely new fashion world for me, and I love it. :)
I think that is it. I am happy to be a member of this group!
