I am and always will be of dubious heritage, being predominantly of Irish\/Spanish extraction, this genetic mix means that I am, as I have previously said, a bit temperamental, my friends say, mad as a box of frogs. I&#8217;ve found my place in the world career wise, and now work part time teaching adults with complex learning needs, and I am still an aspiring <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>author<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>I am still a reader of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Tarot<\/em><\/span> and other divination techniques and offer tuition to interested parties. I will also do readings on a professional level if asked. I trained for over 5 years as a Ritual Magician and still find deep worth in High Magick and Ceremony. I am an Initiated Wiccan in both the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Alexandrian<\/span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Gardnerian<\/span> Traditions, however the Coven I run in Cheshire is purely Gardnerian. I have an overwhelming love of Druidry not so unusual really considering the connection with Ross Nicholls and Gerald Gardner. I am currently an Ovate in OBOD. I am also deeply honoured to be an Awenydd of the Anglesey Druid Order. An awe inspiring family of individuals all expressing their Awen in their own unique ways. If you can&#8217;t find me, chances are I am up to some form of Druidic shenanigans somewhere on Yns Mon.<\/p>\n<p>I draw, paint, knit, crochet, spin and weave; I am an amateur photographer but sadly I no longer participate in excessive exercise thanks to my celtic genes and early onset arthritis; I play the Ukulele badly, but most of all I am an eternal student of the Occult with a deep desire to keep asking questions and a heart felt need to help others find the answers to their own primal cry of &#8220;Why?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to know more about me and the <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">teaching I can facilitate<\/span><\/em>, or would like to know more about my writing, I welcome enquiries and well thought out discussion and I can be contacted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/iTaraSanchez\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has suddenly dawned on me, I&#8217;ve been writing this blog for over 9 years now and as the 10th Anniversary of this online ramble hurtles towards me I ought to do an update as so much has changed in that time and some things haven&#8217;t actually changed but I am now in a position [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.templeofhekate.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.templeofhekate.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.templeofhekate.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.templeofhekate.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.templeofhekate.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"http:\/\/www.templeofhekate.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":668,"href":"http:\/\/www.templeofhekate.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.templeofhekate.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
