We are your instructors/facilitators for many different classes and also the
POCs for Holloman Circle/Alamogordo Area Pagans and former HPS
and HP respectively for Silver Moon Society. Dee was a Solitary Eclectic
Wiccan for about 6 years before practicing in a group setting now for
about seven years or so with the Holloman and Silver Moon Circles. Rick,
of course, has been familiar with and exposed to the craft for the same
period of time but “officially” converted to Paganism at Beltaine in 2006.  
We have both been extensively trained in the mundane world in
mediation, management, communication and group dynamics (in addition
to other more specialized areas pertaining to our career paths).  We have
also attended several courses at Ardantane (www.ardantane.org) in Jemez
Springs, New Mexico and will continue to attend and expand our horizons
and knowledge so that we may share that knowledge and help our ever
growing Pagan community.  The instructors at Ardantane are truly
amazing and gifted people and we would encourage each and every one of
you to take advantage of their courses should you have the opportunity!

Rick was in the Air Force for 22 years and is now retired and working as
a civilian.  Pagan military issues are his passion and he has an avid
interest in Paganism and the Law.   Dee has always had an avid interest
in volunteerism.  She has volunteered for dozens of organizations close to
her heart over the years and her deep passion is helping people!  She was
employed in the banking industry for over eight years and decided to
pursue her dream of owning her own business and Mystic Wonders (www.
mystic-wonders.com) was born in February 2006.  Our storefront business
was open from December 2006-December 2008 but the economy went
BOOM and we went strictly online but still have limited hours from our
home store for those in the local area.  Dee has just returned to New
Mexico State full time to obtain a degree in Social Work.  

We both have a great passion for teaching and helping those in our
community.  We have been married for over 24 years and have triplet sons
who are 22.  They have moved to Las Cruces to attend New Mexico State
University and are now in their Senior year.  They are mostly
Anime/Manga freaks and have DOZENS of DVDs.  They love the Internet
and school (*gasp*).  Brandon is studying Wicca/Paganism and has been
for eight years now and also attends the UU Church in Las Cruces (www.
uua.org), we think that Beau is a Natural Witch but leans toward
agnosticism and Blaine has been studying Wicca/Paganism for about four
years and has decided that a form of Mahayana Buddhism called Pure
Land is his path.  They truly define their own spiritual path as they are
absolutely amazing young men. We are extremely lucky to be their
parents!  (We secretly think they may be the Stepford Sons! Just kidding!)

We should also take this opportunity to express our deep admiration and
respect for James Probasco who started and nurtured the Holloman
Circle.  James, always know that you are the person that I (Dee) strive to
be and I truly hope that I inspire the thirst for knowledge about Paganism
that you fostered in me.  You and Kathryn are truly missed!  

We look forward to working with each and every one of you and hope that
this will be a wonderful learning experience for all!  Blessed Be!
