I am a presenter, spirit worker, sex & kink educator, activist, and photographer, with over a decade of experience running rituals and teaching classes that range from private one-on-one instruction, to workshops at conferences and events accross the United States.
Some of the topics I present on include kink/BDSM techniques, alternative spirituality, magic, queer/LGBT issues, and polyamory. Today my appearance credits include kink, pagan, and LGBTQ conferenes; universities; hospitals; and online video programs; as well as television documentaries on topics such as polyamory, pagan spirituality and genital integrity.
Aside from presenting, I am the former assistant producer for Dark Odyssey Events, and a used to be a blogger for the LGBT politics and culture blog The Bilerico Project. My writing also has been in HUGGIN Magazine, Pittsburgh's Out, New Witch Magazine, and books by leaders of the pagan & neo-classical shamanism communities.
My spirit & ritual work is centered around rites of personal transformation as well as the relationship between the living and the honored dead. I am a founder and council member of Clan Tashlin, a magical order built around a unique approach to magic and the relationship between people and the land.

I’ve been saying that this is something we need to look at as a community. Just because we are seen as a subculture within a majority religious community doesn’t mean we are IMMUNE to the issues within mainstream culture. It SHOULD mean that we are more aware of these issues and work hard to try and curtail them… But most often, I am met with resistance to change instead of a willingness to look deep within oneself to the beasts that are there.
Reblogged this on Sex, Gods, and Rock Stars and commented:
I’m saddenedly not terribly surprised by this. When I have spoken up about the lack of diversity in the communities that I am a part of, everyone answers me with blank stares, or points me to the (usually) lone POC in attendance. And as someone who has dealings with the lwa, it embarasses me to think there are Pagans out there who feel they have the right to judge which spirits are “good” and which ones aren’t, especially if they aren’t schooled in that tradition.
I’ve never had anything on the magnitude of what has happened to the OP happen to me in Pagan settings, but I can’t honestly say that nothing resembling it has ever happened, either 😛
