Acknowledgments Many hands, minds, and hearts must come
together for such a publication to manifest. While I would like to
thank all those who participated in the development of Wicca:
Another Year and a Day, there are several names that bear
independent noting, due to their considerable influence, time, and
effort.
Varda Ninna and Saga Gaeffon, two magical teachers and elders of my
lineage, spent a good deal of time with me at the inception of the project and
provided wise advice throughout its development. The magical men of the
Rainbow Warriors—Jayson Rivest, Collie Valadez, and Patrick Turnbull—
likewise gave input and shared their collective experiences. Kalisha Zahr,
another longtime “magical relative,” offered helpful clues and direction. And if
it were not for my early years in Wicca with the members of Oruborus et Ova—
Morven, Kes, Brigit, Varda, and Merlin—I would never have had those many
years of experiential coven learning.
Finally, my thanks for the love and support of my partner, Valente V.
