About Me

My name is Juniper, I hail from Greenwood, British Columbia
I was born May 31st 1980, just a day before the full Moon, a week or so after Mount St.Helens blew up.
I have curly hair (usually red), brown eyes, and can barley reach the top of my refrigerator.

I grew up all over the greater Vancouver area and the Okanagan of British Columbia.

I run a small homestead and kennel where I rescue dogs and horses, called Misty Acres.

My Dad made sure I grew up with a love for the outdoors and my Mom made sure I loved animals. I’m an avid reader and I have a thing for museums.

I grew up around dogs, as my mother had bred, raised, trained, rescued and shown dogs most of my life. My own favorite breed is Beagles (one the smallest of the Hounds)

I love herbalism and am saving up the tuition for my Certified Herbalist course. I also enjoy all manner of arts and crafts and am pretty decent at beading and jewellery design. I make great cloaks and tunics too, and I am working on improving my sewing skills.

I started to study paganism and such as a young teen, and counting from my self-dedication at the oh-so-wise age of 15; I have been pagan (one way or another) since Summer Solstice 1995. I started out a teenaged Solitary Wiccan, which didn’t last long. Wandered along a twisty eclectic Path for a time, and then I discovered herbalism and a more Nature oriented Path in about 2001. Roughly in 2003, I began to study Shamanism.

Now I call myself a Hedgewitch with Celtic leanings.

About Juniper

Most folks call me Juniper, my friends call me Juni. I am thirty years old but eternally youthful.

I have been a farmer and a city girl, a homesteader and a wanderer. I have worked in animal rescue and occult shops, art galleries, liquor stores and bead shops.

I have been practising Paganism and Witchcraft for 15 years. I am not an Elder, nor guru. I am just a messy little Hedgewitch who speaks her mind.

I hunt in thrift store jungles and gather in the wildwoods. I practice in groves and ditches, hedgerows and sea shores, basements and vacant lots.

This is my journal. It will have funny bits, rants, ramblings, ideas, poetry and more ... Take it as you please. I suggest reading with your tongue firmly in cheek.
