On Becoming a Word Priestess
I believe in the power and magic of words.
I believe we weave our world with them.
I believe we can change the world with them.
I believe in using words to connect,
heal, inspire and empower.
I’m a word weaver. I’m a Word Priestess.
Let’s use our words to heal ourselves and the world!

I write so I can heal.
I heal so I can write.
I do this to help make a world
that works for everyone.
Why do I call myself a Word Priestess?
Since ancient times women have been healers. Some heal with their hands or herbs, some through counsel, some with music and others, like me, with words. To me, words are powerful magic and medicine.

The Journey
I’m fascinated by words and worlds. I always have been. Before I could read or write I was obsessed with words and books as well as the spirit world. My curiosity about everything was and still is endless.
I became a storyteller before I could put stories on paper. I would tell them through my dolls and by the time I was eight I began experimenting with writing and putting on plays in the basement of my childhood home.
At that age I also became an investigator into the nature of reality. A friend and I explored the spirit world through seances of sorts on a few occasions and I read all the books in the library on the paranormal.
It wasn't until I was a teenager that the poet in me was born. My eighth grade English teacher taught us how to write a Haiku. It felt like I was making magic with words. Metaphor infiltrated my consciousness and changed me forever. As did reading a book on spells. Magick began to infiltrate my life in many ways.
One of my English profs helped me realize my passion for telling the stories of injustice and being a voice for those who were marginalized. Unfairness has always spurred me to anger and now I had a way to channel it. He encouraged me to go to journalism school, but it's not a path I followed. Instead this type of writing shows up in my poetry, fiction and articles. It has morphed into writing empowering and inspiring articles that help others heal and know their worthiness. This has lead me to do this for myself. I realized the stories I told to and about myself weren't very empowering. Could I tell a more empowering story? I found out that I could. Could I help others tell a more empowering story about their lives? What if I could help them see how wonderful they truly are? I started to realize that we are all weavers of our own world.
My story is about the path of self-discovery. More formally it's a path that I've been on for nearly 20 years. First I became a Priestess of Ma'at (the goddess of harmony and right order) in the Fellowship of Isis and then a Licensed Practitioner of the Science of Mind Philosophy through Centers for Spiritual Living. Actually, I resonate with the interspiritual movement and follow many paths including Paganism, Science of Mind, Buddhism, Hermeticism and Creation Spirituality.
So far life has been a fabulous journey and I've used all that I learned on the spiritual path to make it less bumpy than it might have been.
I look forward to being of service to you through my words and as a guide that is still on the path.

When you "know thyself" and act on that which is yours to do in the world,
all heaven breaks loose.
