WES connection: Founder, International Coordinator

Website: wesociety.com

Heidi serves WES as their International Events and Communication Coordinator. She is also a ritualist, priestess and teacher.

Fascinated at a young age by reincarnation, Heidi started exploring religious paths that made sense to her. Like many, she had a sense that she was "Home" after reading her first book on the Craft in 1987.

In the late eighties and early nineties, she was led to Salem, Massachusetts. Heidi was originally initiated into the Craft by Lois Devine in Salem and became a High Priestess in 1997. She has run her own covens as well as explored several other spiritual interests, including a wide variety of Earth-based and Goddess Traditions, World Mythology, Shamanism, Dreamwork, Trance Prophesy, and Divination.

On Imbolc 2004, she founded and dedicated The First Goddess Temple in Massachusetts, USA.

In 2005, she received her second third degree, from Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone in Ireland and also dedicated herself as a Priestess of Hecate. 

Currently, Heidi makes her home in Glastonbury, England known as 'The esoteric capital of the world'. Heidi owns and operates The Summerlands B&B and Retreat Centre there. She is available for personal tours of Glastonbury's sacred sites and she can also arrange private access for you and your group to world famous Stonehenge. Please contact her for more details.
