RP: Thank you! It has been a long time in the making. I signed the contract a few years back and kept starting on the manuscript then doubting myself and leaving it.

First, congratulations! Second, how did this book come about? Why a book about the Triple Goddess? One of my passions is to work with the energy or spirit of place. It is really important for me to connect with the energy of the ground I walk on and the surroundings I am in, whether it is my own home, my garden or any building I am in.Įv0ke: Your book The Triple Goddess: An Updated Approach for Working with the Triple Goddess in Modern Times is due out from Moon Books in December. I also work with animal spirit guides, my main guide being a wild boar. It has been a fascinating journey and I have made a very strong connection with the goddess Sulis. I have been researching those that were honoured before the Romans arrived. The Cailleach walked beside me for nearly twenty years, but over the last couple of years I have been steered to work with the Gods from ancient Britain, specifically England. I still do have a strong connection to Ganesha in particular. But over time deities from other places made themselves known to me and I have worked with all sorts. Originally many years ago I started off working with the Celtic deities, it made sense to me as I live in the UK. If I had to give myself a label it would be Pagan Kitchen Witch but I am very miscellaneous.Įv0ke: Which Deities, spirits, or other powers are honored in your tradition? I love to learn and am always delving into new courses and ways to gain new knowledge. Then I wandered all over the place, adding flotsam and jetsam to my personal pathway as I went, and I still do. My initial training was in Wicca and I have worked through the three degrees and gained my High Priestess title. I work with the old gods, these days more specifically those that are tied to ancient Britain, but I have worked with deities from across the globe in the past. I have learnt to trust it over the years.

Rachel Patterson: My spiritual pathway is definitely that of a Pagan Witch, but my intuition is key. Ev0ke: How do you define your personal spiritual tradition? Does it have a name or is it more intuitive and eclectic?
