My name is Atalanta Moonfire. I am a Psychic Spiritual Advisor and teacher of bone divination. Author of the book, "Throwing the Bones Divination for the Modern Practitioner", I have specialized in divination for over 25 years. I began with using tarot, now focusing on throwing bones or casting bones as you might know it. I have practiced eclectic witchcraft for 35+ years, beginning at age 14, practicing since I was 18, finding my true path in my 30’s. In addition to being in practice of Throwing Bones Divination, I am High Priestess of Sacred Moon Coven, and 1st Degree Priestess of Hecatean witchcraft. I am also a Reiki Master, ordained minister, Spirit Walker, and Rootworker/Hoodoo Practitioner. I am a graduate of Harvard ED Online "Omens, Oracles and Prophecies". Always looking to expand my knowledge, I am currently studying Buddhism and Yahshua and Yahweh. Born in Manassas, Virginia, I grew up moving frequently, which gave me the ability to be flexible and adaptable to change as well as diverse life experiences. At 52 years young, my goals in life are to bring this ancient and personal form of bone divination into the mainstream and to expand my spiritual education and help others who share my desire of understanding this magnificent universe in which we live.

Dump your Junk
If you want to create spells which are successful, then first you have to clear your own issues. Everyone has a core belief about themselves and in some cases this is what holds your back and keeps you from being all that you desire. Tish will use a mild hypnosis so you can find your block, and then paper, pen and fire to release it.

IPMA Best Male Artist winner both in 2019 and again in 2020, Brian Henke composes and performs his music like a painter putting images on canvas, a kind of sonic shaman, drawing his inspiration from the world around him. His unique guitar style has been called everything from Folk to New Age to Neo-Classical to Pastoral or as Brian likes to call it “a big stewpot of everything, stirred up, simmered and served to taste.” Brian has just released his latest vocal CD "To the Faire"....2 more albums are written and partially recorded. He has also released seven instrumental solo guitar and harp guitar albums, two celebrated compilation albums, One group CD, and three previous vocal albums and....is working on a musical play with writer and playwright Byron Ballard. Throughout all of his music is an undercurrent of spirituality and mysticism that Brian says is very much a part of the creative process. Because of this he has received radio air play all over the world on shows as varied as WKSU’s “Folk Alley” and John Dilberto’s “Echoes.” A winner of many acoustic and electric guitar awards, he has also been a finalist in the prestigious National Fingerstyle Contest in Winfield, Kansas, the National Guitarmageddon regional finals in Boston and in New Age Reporters Top 10 for 2006 and 2010. “Brian’s fretwork is masterful, elaborate and he makes every note count…His compositions are harmonious, sometimes complicated, but always engaging…Brian Henke’s music is organic, mesmerizing and best of all magic.” – RJ Lannon - New Age Reporter Dance with the Fireflies, the album, is fae-magickal throughout its 12 tracks, and it’s easy to discern Henke’s most prominent spell-casting tool: his stunning virtuosity on acoustic guitar, harp guitar, and his Gibson Les Paul. Henke is an awe-inspiring picker whose genre is known as “fingerstyle guitar,” and he’s in the same league with such giants as Alex de Grassi, Will Ackerman, Leo Kottke, and those guys. - Rick De Yampert - Wild Hunt

Brightest Blessings, My name is Lord Azrael Ravens-Wolf, and I along with my partner Lord Lucien are the High Priests of The Temple of the Black Cauldron. I first started out my spiritual path going to Church with my Grandmother, while in church I always found myself taking on roles including teaching VBS, teaching the 3rd grade Sunday School Classes, and also being involved as one of the youngest Deacons of my Church. As I grew up and began to come into self realization I found that I could no longer grow in a community that did not accept me as a gay man. At around the age of 15 I started to withdraw from my Christian upbringing and just kind of remained in limbo for a while until I turned 18. Once I had turned 18 I found myself working a job as a Security Officer. One night at one of my posts I became drawn to an officer that worked for a different company. And the energy from this person kept calling to me. I finally walked up to her and we began to talk. She commented on how strong of a presence and my energy was, and asked me if I had ever looked into Witchcraft. The funny part of it was I had actually looked into it a little, but never went to deep into it. Over the coming months she introduced me to several aspects of being a Witch. After meeting this person I found a teacher and began learning from them. After a while and after realizing that the relationship with my teacher was not a healthy one I went more on a solitary path, but still wanted to continue my education. That is where I found an online academy called the Firefly Academy. After working through their program and being involved in writing two courses and also completing their clergy program though sadly the school closed down. But before that happened I took on the roll of starting a MeetUp supported by the Academy. The group was called Magickal Paths of Chattanooga. Our goal was to organize classes and even events for the pagan community which was located in Chattanooga, Tn. Sadly as with all things MPOC came to an end, partly because of my lack of experience, and also because the time was not right for us to be in existence. Though I fought tooth and nail to keep it from falling apart, and still was even able to plan and organize events I became withdrawn and soon depressed. My desire and love of organizing left me, and I stopped organizing events in around 2017. Then wham! The big old C thing hit! Suddenly I was bombarded by my Deities going you have been missing in action for to long. Now mind you during this time I was also dealing with a divorce from someone I had been with for almost 4 years, and I was in no mental state in my opinion to do this, but you know the Goddess has her own plans. Suddenly I found myself newly single, and dealing with depression worse than I had ever experience before. But the Goddess had a plan to take care of that. And to also give me the support I needed in order to organize events once again. During all of this the Goddess sent me someone whom I had always needed in my life, an actual partner. Someone who supported me and wanted to see my goals come to reality. Lucien. As our relationship blossomed so did my desire to organize events, and my confidence in myself grew thanks to his words of encouragement. That is when we started to plan and organize CauldronFest. Over two years with a small group of other people and friends we began the process of planning what actually ended up being in my opinion a great event. And during this whole time my zest for life was reborn. Then suddenly the calling to rekindle my Clergy side and the roll as a High Priest came. And that is where we are at now. With yet again the support of my loving Husband we have chosen to start a new venture and bring to life the Temple of the Black Cauldron. We invite you to join us in this journey and we hope you will help us to grow and honor the God and Goddess!

I know how to work with people by tapping into that innate rhythm and weaving it into something else entirely. The voice of the drum is where it all begins.
