Copper Moon E-zine Owner, Editor-in-Chief
My first experience with writing started via an online magazine called Cauldrons & Broomsticks; this became the initial catalyst for my literary ventures. At the age of 16, I penned my first book, SPELLCRAFT FOR TEENS. Following this guide’s publication by Llewellyn Worldwide, I was featured in Seventeen Magazine (November 2002). Subsequently, I went on to write two other non-fiction books for teens MOONBEAMS & SHOOTING STARS (Penguin) and CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE WITCH (Penguin). In addition to Copper Moon, I run BeautyLoveSpirit.com (blog magazine for twenty-something women).
The Steel Witch is a gentleman and a scholar. Dedicated and initiated in no particular tradition, he embraces hardcore eclecticism in his pursuit of truth and beauty. He's just a dude who likes the colors black and silver, dislikes zinfandels, has a deep and abiding love for cheeses, and occasionally uses phenomenal cosmic power to warp the fabric of the multiverse. Hey, a guy has to have hobbies. His e-mail: SteelWitch@gmail.com

My name is Gede Parma, but my Craft name is Eilan which was gifted to me by my Balinese grandmother at Yule 2006. It is the Anglicised Sctos-Gaelic for 'island'. I inherit my spirituality from both my mother and my father - it is their culture and ancestry that is the foundation for my path. I am a Witch and an initiated priest and co-founder of the Coven of the WildWood, based in Brisbane - Australia (and its tradition - the WildWood Tradition). I am a writer and poet and craft with the Word as I do with Magick. I am the author of Spirited: Taking Paganism Beyond the Circle (Llewellyn Publications, 2009) and the editer and compiler of Conjunction Press' Crafting the Community. I dance, love and make merry all in praise of the Gods, the Old Ones and the Mystery. I believe we are here because we are intrinsic expressions of the Divine's yearning to know itself - Life's longing to mirror its spirit. What we have here is a dance of eternity, where life, death and rebirth are doorways and thresholds to newer and fuller experiences. May you go with the Gods. Visit Gede's website !
Merry meet everbody! My name is Michael, but online I go by my pen name, Shadow, under which I have also written articles for The Witches' Voice. I'm currently studying sociology at Louisiana State University. I've been a Wiccan for three years now, all the while placing a strong focus on the Egyptian deities that enchanted my youth, and have recently working in a longstanding coven's initiate class, working towards attaining my first degree. My coven's mother-church is the Aquarian Tabernacle Church, and our tradition is a blend of both English traditional and eclectic Wicca. I seek through my works to bring about discussion so we have a firmer understanding of our beliefs and why we believe them. To top things off, I am working on becoming a stand-up comic, so who knows, maybe you'll see me out there someday. Merry part, and merry meet again."
