Shannon Heather [email protected]
A Shield Mother, Shannon Heather has found that her place in the circle is outside the circle. In this place, she can care for those in the circle and the spirits or elements outside. Shannon says that “it’s just always been this way.” She stays undedicated to specific deities so that she can serve all that need her. Part of Shannon’s ongoing spiritual practice includes honoring the ancestors and natural healing. From her spiritual practices, she finds balance, purpose, and strength. Some tools of her path include working
with energy and magic, as well as consulting spirit guides. Shannon shares with others her spiritual gifts by leading rituals, facilitating the care of her chosen communities, and holding sacred space for others.

Minerva [email protected]
My name is Teresa Galloway aka Minerva, in the pagan community. I have been spiritually pagan for the past 45 yrs.
In 1981, given the name Minerva by my priestess when I earned my first degree, I have lived my life growing into the name.
Certified Reiki healer and licensed by the state of Ohio as a massage therapist I take my healing skills seriously. As a priestess for the goddess I have had the honor to serve as High Priestess for two of my own covens, later serving as Elder in my community with two different groups. Family is important to me- both by blood and by the heart. I nurture, listen and offer advice when asked.

Rev. Fox [email protected]
Rev. Fox is a Gaelic Pagan, honoring his Gods, ancestors, and the aos sìth, spirits of place and power in rural New Upstate New York with his partner and their two cats. He is a professional artisan, originally from the Deep South, and working every day to improve his lot in an uphill battle. As of Aug 2021, he has been successfully out of prison from a six-year bid. He firmly believes in justice and equality, and welcomes folks from all backgrounds, heritages, and walks of life into his home in the name of hospitality, and into his practice in the name of love and fosterage. He has big dreams and loves to learn and grow. He is learning to speak Scottish Gaelic, and working in the Cairdreabh nan Gàidheal Droaidh seminary program, but the struggle is real. You can find him on his blog: Ravens’ Lighting.

Lightning [email protected]
I went through a Mescalero Apache Vision Quest through a lineage that specialized in passing on ceremonies for Medicine People. I also completed a Santa Clara Tewa Pueblo Vision Quest as well. I am Two-Spirit. During my early years of learning, I also spent a lot of time at the University of California, Riverside’s Anthropology Library, reading the Ethnographies of various Native American Nations. To be particularly clear, I cannot claim Indigenous bloodline myself. I only have family oral history, given the place where the records were supposedly kept burnt down decades before my birth. However, my training in both Mescalero Apache and Santa Clara Tewa Pueblo traditions come directly through Medicine People of that decent. It did not matter to them that I couldn’t prove my affiliation but I understand that it can matter to others. I have been practicing the beliefs, traditions, customs, and spirituality that I was taught for over 31 years.
