I am Eridanus

I am a Reflecting-gnitcelfer, Prismatic, Radically Gay Magickal Being evolving into an Abba*. My vocation, in any moment, is in the variable blending of mystic, homemaker, oracle, student, counselor, prophet, and seer. Which I have realized is becoming an Abba, based upon the foundation of a Starets. Also, I bring meaningful expertise in spiritual counseling and guidance, logistics, diplomacy, and event/meeting planning to my DC Metropolitan Pagan community and furtheron.

My Patroness is the Hekatae. The Purple God of Healing [Dian-y-Glas] is my personal God. I was one of the founders of the Prism of the Purple God of Healing- a Queer, magickal working, joyful, and HEALING group (currently on hiatus). I walk between communities, and journey in the 'tween places. I am involved with those who ask of me, in ConnectDC, the Capital Pride LGBTIQ Interfaith Service, the Washington-Baltimore Pagan Clergy Association, and I'm a continuing (third term) student of Reflections Mystery School. [Blessings to my Teacher and Systeri!] One should always be a student in/of the Universe Myriadis and the God/dess/s.

In the recent past, I have served the community in various capacities- Secretary of the Open Hearth Foundation; Planning Secretary of the Pagan Leadership Skills Conference; and President of the Sacred Space Foundation and Conference. I was the first co-ordinator of the DC Pagan Pride Week's InterPath Service (in 2004 and 2005). I was the founding Minister of the Aldari Church [now, Minister Emeritus], founded in 1994 in Northern Virginia. I participated in the writing of the first vision statement of Haven (Nybor & Elspeth [my first Elders]). And I've worked in the DC Radical Faeries as a Circlekeeper, as part of the incorporation and 501c(3) committees, and their annual Red Dragon Feasts (for charity). Among a number of other activities.

At present, I'm [mostly] a free agent within the DC Pagan Communities. I am writing a series of soliloquies (a'la The Federalist Papers) presenting my feelings about living Spiritually with Magick. These will appear on this website. In addition, I will be sharing my commentary on DC Pagan culture, and the dominant social-cultural-governmental paradigms. Best of all, I get to share my Pearls of the Wise- sayings, quotes, excerpts, and articles I find wise and important.

I am available for Tarot readings and spiritual support/counseling (in person and electronically). I support the Open Hearth Foundation at their Pagan Band Jams on the first Saturday of the Month, by donating my Tarot services. My gift to the Universe Myriadis is me, free of the politics and anger.

For me- I am focused on being my beliefs. I walk with the Hekatae and the Purple God of Healing [Dian-y-Glas]. My home is a Spiritually Magickal place. Living my spirituality with magick, I learn daily. I love my life.

*In the early Christian monastic and hermitic movements, the Abba was sought out for advice, counseling, and support. This is part of my vocation.

**These are my 4 stages in living my spirituality- Warrior, Magickian / Priest, Abba (Elder), and Sage. I plan to not be a Sage for quite some time.
