Hi! I am Auburn Greene.
I have practiced as an eclectic Pagan and Wiccan for 45 years, and my experience includes solitary work and involvement with several Pagan circles in Wisconsin, North Carolina and more. I follow the moon cycles and the Wheel of the Year. I taught art at public schools at different grade levels. I love working with a variety of media. I consider myself to be a life-long learner and like to incorporate many of my insights and skills into my practice. To read more about me, please see Meet the Writer: Origin Story.
I invite you to learn more about the practices of Wiccans, Witches, Pagans and those who honor the goddesses and/or the gods with me as your guide! See my latest posts below.
