Zanoni Silverknife is the first Georgian Priestess. In late December 1971, she along with her best friend Tanith, joined with George Patterson to start the "Georgian" Tradition. It is a tradition that seems to have many tributaries today, but also has maintained at least three Traditionalist branches. For the Silverknife Line, Zanoni has created a solid structure for training proper persons in the three degree system and has maintained the true core of the Georgian Tradition for posterity. She has also created a Core Book of Shadows from several Georgian Initiates Books in order to capture as much of Patterson's Book as possible, his being lost to Georgians after his death.
Zanoni is Elder in several other Wiccan (Gardnerian, NECTW, 1734) and Pagan traditions such as NRDNA and enjoys the variety and uniqueness from such a mélange. She is always moving, growing, learning and refining herself and her life. Along with continuing to teach in both Craft and Nordic ways, she manages a budding art career and writes many stories for her grandchildren. She is also working on several books, some for publication, some that will only be dispersed to Traditional Georgian Elders or StarBornSothis Initiates.
She is a charter member of COG (Covenant of the Goddess,) and has helped to facilitate many public circles, and worked diligently in any number of organizations for pagans, such as ERCA (Earth Religions Cultural Association.) In her travels, Zanoni has brought the Craft to many people across the United States. She continues to be a vital force for the Craft and her beloved Gods and Goddesses.
