Hi! I am High Priestess Esmarelda Lione Robinson Ravenseye, connecting with people I’ve never met via computer. Seems weird, but then I’m a witch, I guess that qualifies me as weird at least to the popular world. What should I be saying about myself? I’m 30 years old. I was born in the mid-70's when the Wicca movement was already hatched and in its adolescence, my parents were liberated, educated and Wicca. Therefore I was well grounded and able to deal with a nasty divorce, it certainly became apparent that “what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.” With the help of other craft members I survived, even came out better on the other side.
I am single and content with that for the time being, working as a childcare provider in a established daycare facility. I am a member of the Colorado Springs 80906 Coven and will be a volunteer on-line counselor for students purchasing the on-line level 1/level 2 courses.

In the swamps and bijous of Louisiana, just a bit south of New Orleans, my family have long been sought out; to administer herbal remedies, tinctures and salves. Asked to treat the deep cut that does not heal quickly or sooth the bone still sore after the cast is removed. We have oft times been begged to draw a lover closer or dissolve a troubled relationship with gris gris or tamulet.
I cook my magic in a pot and open the void that protects and energizes me – the void that knows my purpose and takes it payment in the form of a comfort I am all to willing to offer.
I spend my days working and my nights and weekends harnessing the essence of the Ancestors, making candles and herbal brews, healing the sick stray dog and drawing pictures of the nature spirits who frequent my farm.
I do not worship a devil. There is no creature sacrificed. I am often feared and misunderstood. I am the magical one known as Lisa, daughter, wife, mother, friend to the Circle of Crow Clan and I am Voodon.
I am Vivianne Joy Robinson. My sister Ales, my brother Kyle and my mum, Hana, all live I the United States of America. I live in the United Kingdom (often referred to by the Americans I hear on CNN as Great Britain.)
I am a priestess of the Old Religion, in what is now named the Circle of Crow Tradition traveling under the rules, guild lines and protections of the neo-pagan religion Wicca. I host my own physical learning circle comprised of students not related to me by blood or marriage. It is very small but we have fun and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded souls for wheel of the year festivals. I travel a two-hour journey to be part of the Circle of Crow HG4 Coven. I have offered to be an online counselor for the Circle of Crow Master course which will be available soon, Christian year of record 2007.

I am 14 years old and my mom is a High Priestess in the Circle of Crow. Her name is Hana, and she is the Priestess of the Colorado Springs 80906 Coven, and she teaches a learning circle which I am part of. She also writes stuff and used to be a nurse just before I was born, but that’s all about her and so here’s all about me. I used to be in karate and now I enjoy socceer and volleyball during thier seasons. I love to swim. I’m pretty smart I guess, and my grades are good. I spoke Italian fluently until I came to America in 2003 since then I don’t get much chance to use Italian, so I’m getting really rusty. I have two cats called Herb and Sage and an older sister who’s not here with us, and a grown up brother who lives in our town but we don’t see him as much as we would like. I have had some people treat me badly when they found out I’m not Christian but it’s not usually the kids, it’s their parents who stop them playing with me. It’s only happened a couple of times and my school knows I’m pagan and my counselors and teachers are very supportive. So I am glad of that. I know I’m blessed to be part of the old ways and I’m proud to be who I am. My Granny Iraina is a Witch and lives in England, my great grandmother Hana Margaret is in summerland and left her Book of Shadows to be handed down to me. I don’t know what else to say so I think I’ll end now.
Bright Blessings,

My craft name is Rathion. I am a government worker, who was raised in the Catholic denomination of the Christian religion and who slowly came to realize the holes in the story my religion professed to be the true path to the divine. I had always known that there was more to their heaven and earth then met their eye. After some years of searching I came across the Circle of Crow Tradition of the Old Religion and discovered Wicca. I have been a student of Wicca for some time and more recently a student of the Circle of Crow Tradition, I am a member of the Colorado Springs Circle of Crow 80906 Coven and a volunteer on-line counselor for students who purchase the online course. Hope to meet you soon.
Merry Meet,

My name is Hana Wren Robinson, I am a retired nurse, and author. Origionally from England, I now reside in Alabama and am host to a learning circle. I have studied the craft all my life and am passionate about Circle of Crow.
I am a witch, and a High Priestess of the Old Religion, wife, mother of three, and Sister in the Circle of Crow.
Hello, I am Maulia Nauxana Robinson Ravenstone. I am a Priestess in the Olde Religion and am the host of the Ravenswilde Gathering. I am 47, a wife and a mother to three adult children. I am a government worker and a web page designer. I was raised Catholic but have always believed there was more to life than just one view. Growing up in the Bay Area, CA, I was exposed to many faiths and cultures. Several years ago, I had the good fortune of meeting High Priestess Hana Wren Robinson. Since then I have been studying with her and have been a member of the Circle of Crow Coven 80906 for the past 6 years. I am very excited about being involved with Ciircle of Crow and enjoy working as a volunteer on-line counselor for students taking our online course.
My craft name is Isole Aradia. I am first generation Southern European and American. My mother came over here from France to work for and study with a Mormon family. She arrived in the 1980's and soon afterwards met and married my father, together raising thier children in the Mormon faith of the Christian religion. Somewhere around 20 I began to look for more, to seek a balance in my spirit and the peace of mind I did not have. Seven or eight years passed,before joining the Circle of Crow Learning group in the interim, I studied independantly. There has alwyas been talk by my relatives in Italy that over the years family members have practiced what they call Straga. This seemed to confirm that there was a place in the craft for me. I set out to find a group who might offer a learning enviroment. I feel fortunate to have been a part of Circle of Crow during this past year. At this time I am happily anticpating my dedication ceremony and formal application to Coven.
It is my firm beleif that if you are searching, you should seek like minded souls. Join those who gather to learn with a credible instructor. I am not implying Circle of Crow Tradition is the only "right " path, there are other credible teachers and great learning circles, you just need to locate one and apply to join. I have grown so much in my spirituality, my majic and myself since finding a formal class gathering with Sisters and Brothers who share my desire and enthusiasim. Good luck in your search and Bright Blessings to each and all of my Sisters and Brothers still self teaching and still asking questions.

I am the WItch, Morrigana's Warrior, Pracitioner of majic, communer with the dead, husband, and father, Munin Ravenstone. My family ties to my Wolf Clan of the Mohawk Indians on my biological father's side and a Irish Herblist-Midwife on my mother's side. I was raised a Catholic by my mother and step-father but was alwyas visited by my Mohawk grandfather's spirit till I was 14 years old, after he passed when I was 7. It wasn't untill I joined the Army the first time at 18 and went to a base in NY, that the pieces fell together for me, I ran into an old Mohawk Man at a quikie mart that knew me by my Mohawk name, although we had never met. He knew all about my life and taught me how to re-open the door with my grandfather. From that point on my life took a different spiritual course, led by my grandfather untill it was his time to move onto the next phase of his unending existence. It never failed that from then on my life would always pull me towards new teachers. The most recent and most fruitful was meeting Hana Wren. My wife and I found ourselves at a Wicca class where Hana Wren was a guest speaker. Although the primary instructors beliefs didn't entirely agree with ours, Hana'a did and we interviewed with them thinking it was for Hana's group. Fortunaly we figured that error out and were able to contact Hana herself, we were interviewed and accepted into the 80906 Circle of Crow Coven, where we are both to have the privilage of being under Hana's tutelage.
After a short break of civilian life, again I am currently serving a third tour in Iraq. With all the bad press the military has recieved about not supporting Wiccans, I must say the opposite is true in my case. I don't think it hasn't gotten around to everyonehere that I am a WItch and there has been no repercussions and only support. My only difficultly is practicing my rituals with the mandatory body armor and Kevlar helmet, due to the constant attacks by the enemy. The soliders here coming across me during rituals respectfully don't interupt and later ask me to ask for thier protection. As more of them have come back safe while others have fallen, the number of requets is growing. I honestly feel there is a growing respect over what was once a snicker over what I claim as my blief. I am proud to be a WItch, a Brother in Circle of Crow, and proud to be able to add Warrior to that as well.
My name is Kora Miller. I am 43 years old. I live with my 2 cats Sam and Diamond and my border collie, Storm, in Berkeley, CA. I experimented with many religions while in college and was exposed to WICCA, which at the time was a new and growing movement. I studied interfaith ministry and was ordained in 1993. My purpose is to try and support those of all faiths who sincerely wish to enhance their spirituality and fill their hearts with joy in their pursuit of this. I will be taking over 'Ask the Reverend' from the Rev. Randolph, who I am told is relocating. She is presently unable to administer the responsibilities she previously had with the Circle of Crow 80906 Coven. I would like to add my good wishes to those of the 80906 Coven. Sincerely hoping she is successful in her new venture.
