ABOUT JIMAHL DI FIOSA
http://www.jimahldifiosa.com/
Jimahl di Fiosa was initiated into Alexandrian witchcraft in 1988 and considers that experience to be a major turning point in his life. Jimahl di Fiosa is a respected Elder and High Priest of Alexandrian Witchcraft. His interest in the occult spans many years. In 1999 he caused a big splash in the pagan publishing world when he penned his first book, "A Voice in the Forest, Spirit Conversations with Alex Sanders." The book became an overnight success with critics and readers alike and is now considered to be a classic of pagan literature. In 2010 he completed work on "All the King's Children, the Human Legacy of Alex Sanders" which in two short weeks after release had literally swept the world and was being read as far away as Japan and India. Jimahl considers "A Coin for the Ferryman" to be the third book in what he refers to as "The Alex Trilogy." Jimahl makes his home in New England with his husband Karagan.

ABOUT HPs TAMARRA & HP RICHARD JAMES:
Tamarra was initiated as a witch on her 16th birthday, way back when people did that. But her big learning curve happened after she moved with her new husband Richard from Vancouver to Los Angeles. That city in 1977 was a hotbed of competing approaches and personalities; and it was there that R&T formed their first coven. Their wandering took them to New York, where competition among traditions was just as intense, and they learned all they could. Finally in 1979 they moved back to Canada, to Toronto.
    In 1979 they opened The Occult Shop on Queen St, with a temple space in the back, and on the night of their first ritual a brick smashed through the shop window. The resulting press attention helped the business succeed. Since then, many other Pagan retailers have come and gone, but The Occult Shop lives on.
    People who came to the shop demanded a Church, where they could worship openly like people of other religions, so they formed the Wiccan Church of Canada with R&T as their first priest & priestess. Since then, R&T have watched the Canadian pagan community grow, being involved in the first prison ministry, the first Pagan festival, the first Pagan conference, introducing Ontario Pagans to Americans and vice versa.
   For 30 years, they have watched or been part of every aspect of the growth of the Ontario Pagan Community. Tamarra’s women’s group Sistrum is 26 years old. In the last few years, Richard has broadened the horizons to work for the Canadian National Pagan Conference.

ABOUT LAURA POWERS
Laura’s long-time fascination with Celtic mythology led her to create the “Legends of the Goddess” trilogy (Legends of the Goddess, Beyond the Pale: Legends of the Goddess II, and Trilogy: Legends of the Goddess III) which features musical themes based on the Celtic goddess of ancient myth. Enhanced by instrumentation such as tin whistle, uilleann pipes and Irish flute, the influence of European pop can be heard throughout the records and lyrically, it is the metaphysical/mythological aspect of Celtic legends that is the central focus. In addition, Powers utilized her gifts as a painter to create the original cover art on all three CDs, melding the lyrical imagery with her oil paintings to present a timeless collection of music and art. http://www.laurapowers.com/
