She contributed to many of the early ADF rituals and published material,^[3] and to the music and lyrics of the songs on the album, Be Pagan Once Again!^[4] Her eclectic magical background ranges from Golden Dawn and O.T.O. material to Wiccan and Druidic styles, and she has presented lectures, rituals and performances at Neo-Pagan events. Her Coven WillowStar has been active since 1988. She is pursuing studies in Santeria, and in 2005 was crowned Priestess of Ochun in a traditional Cuban Ilé.
