When Shane the Mindbender isn’t solving industrial manufacturing problems by day, under his government name, he’s talking to spirits. Sometimes they talk back!

He used to spend his free time writing science fiction and fantasy, until the writer’s muse revealed itself to be something much more than make believe. Hail Eris!

Now he’s peeking under the esoteric veil, going well beyond psychological self improvement into animism and the art of change.

Whether you meet us in person, meet us online, or get together with your friends to do your own initiations, we welcome you to explore magia femina, the magic of women.
