buff, counselor, hypnotherapist, reiki practitioner and listener

Raven
is a self-proclaimed "tart" and his hobby is people
- watching them, flirting with them, enjoying their company. He
is a Thelemic magician, part of a small magickal order "Nocturne"
which plays with the edges of magick, mind, mystery and mantra.
He has taught workshops and courses on negotiating relationships,
polyamory, magick, ritual construction, magickal arts, pagan religion
and came up with the name "street magicks" for a down-and-dirty
magickal training program which he taught as part of School of
Night, and is now teaching with the other members of "Nightwing"
coven (an Old Feri and Alexandrian group in Seattle).
He
has lived in various parts of the country, including the midwest,
the Bay area and now Seattle and visited Australia. He lives with
his partner Rhea and kitties, and enjoys the company of his other
amores, playmates and partners. His motto is "The True Work
of the Adept is to Have Fun", something Shadowplay has adopted
as it's own. He became an Editor of Shadowplay back in 1991 and
wrote the series of articles "news of pagan interest".
