Stephanie
began to explore Neo-Paganism during High School and was drawn
to the Norse Gods, with some encouragement from her Uncle Ken.
In 1992, she went to college and joined the UMass Pagan Students
Organization, where she met Janna and began attending Raven
Kindred events. At FreeSpirit 1993 she joined the kindred and
was a member until about 1996 when due to "creative differences"
with one of the founding members, she left the group to explore
her solitary practice of self-exploration and Wyrd working.
A second husband and two beautiful children later, Stephanie
contacted Mike in 2003 and began attending his Fellowship's
events until Yule 2004 when he extended the invitation to join
the UlfR aff Jera Theod.
A devotee of Frigga,
Stephanie has been exploring the role of woman, wife, and mother
in her spiritual practices with her patron. Stephanie holds
a B.A. in Psychology with a Sociology minor focusing on women,
children and families and a culinary degree in Pastry and Baking
from the Connecticut Culinary Institute. She is also an avid
bicyclist, hiker and fiber arts enthusiast.
