I live in Northern Arizona with my husband and stepdaughter,
and am working on restoring ancient/Classical Dionysian
and related Greek Mystery rites. I am currently
working on an article about a modern revival of
the Eleusinia, as the Mystery Night was anciently
practiced, for "Shaman's Drum" magazine.

Patricia Telesco, who prefers being called Trish,
lives in Western New York, with her husband, 3
children (2 sons and a daughter), and is chief
human to 5 pets (a dog and four cats).
She is a professional
author with more than 30 metaphysical books on
the market.
Trish considers
herself a down-to-earth, militant, wooden-spoon
wielding, Kitchen Witch whose love of folklore
and world-wide customs flavor every spell and
ritual. Her hobbies include Celtic illumination,
antique restoration, carving wood and soapstone,
historical costuming, sufi dancing, historical
herbalism studies, writing and singing folk music
, writing poetry, and participating in the Society
for Creative Anachronism.
Her strongest
beliefs lie in following personal vision, being
tolerant of other traditions, making life an act
of worship and being creative so that magic grows
with you. Her religious knowledge is a mixture
of self-trained Wicca and full initiation into
the Strega tradition of Italy, which gives form
and fullness to the folk magic Trish practices.
She welcomes
the opportunity to do workshops and lectures,
traveling a minimum of once a month to give lectures
and workshops around the country. She has appeared
on several television segments including one for
Sightings on multicultural divination systems,
and one for the Debra Duncan Show on modern Wicca.
Besides this, Trish maintains a strong, visible
presence in metaphysical journals including: Circle
Network News, Silver Chalice, and Aquarius, and
on the internet through popular sites like The
Witches Voice (festival focus), her Yahoo club,
and various appearances on internet chats.
Patricia Telesco
is a trustee for the Universal Federation of Pagans,
a member of the Author's Guild and a professional
member of the Wiccan-Pagan Press Alliance.

Hi, my name is True, often referred to as Lady
True. I was born and raised in Massachusetts by
a couple of hippies (yeah those would be my parents).
I graduated college from UMASS with a BA in psychology
and now work in human services. I have been training
as a priestess for the past 2 years.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, chatting on-line,
watching movies (huge movie buff) and traveling.
I was not brought up in any traditional religion
because my parents wanted me to choose for myself.
However, they neglected to show me my options.
I have spent a good portion of my life looking
for more information. I find, now, that theology
is of huge interest to me. But after it's all
said and done I do consider myself Pagan and feel
as though that is what I have been all my life,
based on how I was raised. I have been training
formally for almost 2 years now.
I enjoy people and I enjoy my spirituality even
when it makes me deal with some really hard questions.
