Who has been a spiritual mentor for you during your path? If you do not have one (or even if you do), what motivates you to say on your spiritual path?

My first mentor was my tarot teacher, Susan Levitt. Over the years we've become great friends and she has taught me a lot about tarot, astrology and feng shui.

When I first returned to the Boston area, I met a number of great people at the now defunct Unicorn Books who influenced and helped me in one way or another - tarot teachers, spiritual advisors, and friends. Sharynne NicMhacha, in particular, has been instrumental in helping me learn about Scottish witchcraft, my hereditary path.

A couple of years ago I started formal training in the craft with Christopher Penczak, who initiated me as a Priestess and with whom I continue to study. He is a wise and soulful teacher and I count myself fortunate to be able to train with him through his Temple series of classes.

As for motivational influences, I think they are largely a product of working within a strong and dedicated community. Also, as I experience the development and strength of my skills and abilities, I feel a strong sense of being on the right path. The spiritual nurturing and truth that I have found as a witch certainly motivate me to learn and do more. The wonderful people I have encountered as teachers and friends are examples of the potential that I have to serve in turn.

Thank you to Witches Weekly for the Q&A.
