Yes!!! Finally, there is going to be a conference strictly for Heathen Women! There will be academic presentations, workshops, vendors, and hopefully some musicians. We’re holding it at the Mountain Light Sanctuary about 30 miles north of Asheville, NC nestled in the beautiful Pisgah National Forest in the Appalachian Mountains. The advance tickets are only $38, plus […]
On January 21, 2017, millions of people around the world took part in the Women’s March. Since then there have been protests and demonstrations throughout the US and in other parts of the world. Legislators have been either bombarded with questions they don’t have good answers for or are too cowardly to be confronted with […]
After I published my book, I posted it on most of the Heathen groups I was a member of on FaceBook. I received a PM from someone representing the Mystic South Conference in Atlanta, GA, and was asked to submit a proposal to give a presentation. This is only the first or second year of […]
A few months ago I published my book, Sheathenry, Volume I: Ritual Practices of Modern Heathen Women, which was based on interviews I conducted with 39 Heathens (women and a trans man) throughout North America and Europe.

From the beginning, I’ve had loads of compliments everytime I post pictures of them on FaceBook, Etsy, or Instagram.

I was trepidatious at first, but I think these folks are […]
So last weekend the AFA finally came out of the closet as the racist bigots we’ve always suspected them of being. While it is kind of a relief to know them for what they are, how do we differentiate ourselves from them? When I became a Heathen the only word I was aware of to […]
Last year my dear friend, Rod Landreth, suddenly passed away. At his memorial, I oathed to write a book for the betterment of Heathenry that would be ready for publication in exactly one year. I spent a few months interviewing 39 people, primarily women, from North America and Europe, then spent a good deal more […]
For those who know me, you probably know that I adore textile art! I’ve been sewing, weaving, spinning, and needle felting for a long time. I love textiles so much I nearly lost my mind researching and writing my Master’s thesis on ancient and early Medieval fashion and textile history! And for those who […]
There are various names for the holiday celebrated on or around February 2nd: Imbolc, Charming of the Plow, Disablot, and even the more common Groundhog’s Day. Despite the names, they all celebrate one thing – the coming of spring! This is the time we Heathens like to rouse the land from its winter slumber and […]
