Matriarch of The Whole Person
And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. - Romans 8:28
The Matriarch of the Whole Person is representative of how God follows us into all seasons and phases of life. How He will use all experiences in life to help you expand and grow as long as you're open to the lesson. My intention is to use my personal life experience and connection with Spirit through eclectic witchery to help witches see the ways Spirit shows up through all life's difficulties, even when all you can see is chaos.

Matriarch of Ancestral Mothers
Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven... - Mark 4:11
The Divine Feminine was not lost, simply tucked away into every trinket and tradition that was handed down over the years and generations. As an Appalachian Folk Witch, my biggest work toward bringing Christian Witchcraft forward was to help others cultivate their folk practices while deconstructing the ideals of Biblical womanhood and purity culture trauma. My hope is to build up those who wish to learn and teach their own, as well as nurture the spirits of those who have heard the call of the Celestial Mother, Asherah, the Holy Spirit - however you feel Her presence.

Matriarch of the Holy Sword
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - Ephesians 6:17
As the Matriarch of the Holy Sword, a stable foundation and understanding of both faith and magic is greatly important to me. I come from a southern European Catholic background, and am confirmed in the Episcopal church, which means I value the three legged stool of Scripture, reason, and the tradition for informing the base of my theological and philisophical structure. As a fiction writer, I also appreciate Scripture for the themes and metaphorical/allegorical elements that help us get more creative in how we make our magic. My focus in this ministry is on providing quality, scholarly education, how-to guides on recreating certain rites, and understanding liturgical tradition and rhythm.

Matriarch of the Prismatic Orb
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overcome it. - John 1:5
The Prismatic Orb is a representation of light spreading in all directions. As a Christopagan, my spirituality embodies a wide spectrum, but Christ is represented in every direction. My hope is to allow other budding Christopagans feel comfortable allowing Christ into their practice, and providing a safe space to learn and practice these ancient traditions. As a former evangelical, I would say that I have accumulated a fair amount of religious trauma, as I know many others have as well, which may lead them to fear integrating their practices in the way myself and the other Matriarchs have. I want to help others navigate the darkness of that trauma, and into the light of the Orb through Christ.
