Hello from Rev Marc, in essence, my spiritual journey reflects a diverse blend of influences. My initial exposure to Wicca occurred in the early 1990s on the periphery of a coven in Phoenix, AZ, where I wasn't a formal member but was allowed to partake in classes. Over the years, I engaged in various smaller festivals and workshops, ultimately receiving initiation in 2005 from my mother, who had attained her 3rd degree by then. Subsequently, I achieved my second degree a couple of years later, though this accomplishment was not officially recorded beyond our family circle, involving only a few individuals. At mothers suggestion I became Clergy through Universal Life Church and have performed a number of weddings over the years and sadly Mothers funeral in 2016. Rev Whitedove for any of those who knew her.
Along with Wicca, I have attended a number of Celtic, Norse, Santeria, Tarot, Astrology, and Crystal workshops and rituals. I also have an extensive private library and have donated books to local libraries for the community to use. In 2023, feeling the need for more structured and documented training, I embarked on a new chapter. I joined a local coven and commenced studies at Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary (wiccanseminary.edu), where I currently stand as a sophomore. Concurrently, I'm pursuing my senior year at WVU, with minors in religious studies, human services, and arts management. These academic pursuits are paving the way for my MDS degree, set to be completed in the fall of 2024. I ran Morgantown Pagan Pride day for a decade and hope to bring back something like it in the coming years. The group hosts Sabbat potlucks and are looking to expand into other activities. We have Morgantown and West Virginia facebook groups where we post various articles and events from around the area.
