Sandy 'Elf' Jackson is an Eclectic Wiccan from the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia. She is a homemaker who lives with her fiance, Jerry (Smoke) and their two cats. She loves to write and makes sure to work a short story, poem, or new spell every day. When not writing, Sandy loves to create mosaics, make doll GIFs, crochet and cook. Sandy is planning to incorporate all her hobbies into her and Jerry's Samhain wedding/handfasting. She also hopes to find a way to utilize her crafts and writings to help her raise the money she will need for her heart transplant.

Mandy Kaczmarek is an eclectic Pagan living in New York City with her boyfriend of three years. She grew up in Bethel, Ohio and spent four years in St. Augustine, Florida before returning to lands above the Mason-Dixon. She has been following the Pagan path for about four years and is a founding member of the new, open circle Elemental. She recently had the honor of officiating her father's handfasting, whom she had inadvertently "converted" to Paganism several years ago by lending him her books. Mandy is very interested in networking with other members of the NYC Pagan community and welcomes e-mails from interested parties.

Kenya
   Email: lilith_sparda@yahoo.com
Kenya has been practicing Wicca for a little over two years. She has a wide spiritual perspective, considering she's sharing living space with another Wiccan, an agnostic, a Buddhist, and a Taoist. Spiritually speaking, she's been a witch her entire life. Being so makes her happier than mainstream religions, but to each, their own.

I have been a Pagan for about four years, Kemetic for about one, though my interest in all things Egyptian stretches back to early childhood. Currently, I belong to Per Ankh, a Kemetic temple. I am a college student, majoring in Psychology/Sociology. In my spare time I draw, do research (with a special interest in history and archaeology,) and spend time online.

Elaine lives a tree-hugging vegetarian life in the Great American Southwest, along with her teenaged son and conservatively mainstream husband. A textbook-typical Virgo, Els sought out a sensible path of spirituality at age 13 and has been a practicing witch ever since. In between mothering an ever-growing menagerie and stirring her cauldron, she hammers out the occasional freelance article and watches as much hockey as her old eyes can manage to focus on.
