Introducing Myself

I am brand new to Word Press, so please be patient with me while I figure out all of the things I need to know in order to make this website actually work. I have to confess I am a tad overwhelmed…. learning software in one’s late fifties can be a bit daunting, but hey I know how to find the on switch to my laptop, so that’s a start.

I am Helena Domenic, a painter, educator, writer, and magick maker living in the twenty-first century and desparately hoping civilization can wait to fall apart until after I’ve left this earthly plane. I will have a book coming out in November from Schiffer’s Red Feather Mind, Body, Spirit imprint on Wicca. I illustrated and wrote the book based on my decades of teaching classes on Wicca. (The book is An Illuminated Guide to Wiccaand you can order it now on Amazon). This website will be an extension of that book, as well as provide insights into what I’m up to when I’m not writing and illustrating. I love cats and Tarot and Qabala, teaching studio art and art history, and I have a small coven that I love working with.

One of my many hopes is that with my book and my blogging here, I can help to de-mystify Wicca and Witchcraft, making it easier and safer for Witches everywhere to live more openly and fully. Of course, I don’t want to de-mystify things TOO much – after all, a little mystery is good for the soul. I have found in art AND in magick that it is good if one can be comfortable with a bit of mystery.

That’s all for my first blog post. More interesting things to come soon!
