| We are your instructors/facilitators for many different classes and also the POCs for Holloman Circle 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 six 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 21 years and have triplet sons who will shortly be 20. They have recently moved to Las Cruces to attend New Mexico State University. They are mostly Anime/Manga freaks and have DOZENS of DVDs. They love the Internet and school (*gasp*). Brandon is studying Wicca and has been for five years now and also attends the UU Church in Las Cruces (www.uua.org), we think that Beau is a Natural Witch while Blaine has just recently started attending classes and ritual but still leans toward agnostic. I'm sure they will all find their own path as they are truly amazing young men. We are extremely lucky to be their parents! (We secretly think they may be the Stepford Teenagers! 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! |
