“‘My own personal altar? Creating Altars Class, Tues 7:30 PM, 8/28/12, Richardson”

Hello, I am Lily, High Priestess of Circle of Shadow and Light, a Wiccan coven in the American Tradition of the Goddess, or AmTrad.

I attained my 3rd degree on June 25, 2011 from Gryphon, High Priestess of Glade of the Guardian. It is difficult to pinpoint the beginning of my walking the Wiccan path in this life, as my mother is also of the Craft and as such I had a rather different upbringing than most in this day and age. I grew up going to pagan gatherings, rituals and events and learned early on of the Goddess and God and how to honor and worship them, as well as developing healthy respect for all creatures great and small, animate and inanimate, seen and unseen. 

For a time, I was the private student of Raven, Matriarch of AmTrad and learned much from her in the ways of opening up to the Powers That Be while remaining safely within sacred space. I became a formal initiate and 1st degree of Circle of the Moon, Raven’s coven, practically the moment I turned 18 and remained with them until 2003, when I first became a solitaire within the Tradition. I was the first initiate of Circle of the Sacred Flame a couple of years later in 2005 before once again heeding the call of personal spiritual growth and reflection that being a solitaire brings. After several years as a solitaire, I began to feel the call of a coven once more and formally joined Glade of the Guardian in 2008, where I became Maiden and remained until circling out in 2012. I am also an initiate of the McFarland Dianic tradition.
