Acknowledgments
Special thanks to all my dear ones. This is for all the walkers between the worlds who traverse many paths and traditions, and seek balance in them all. Thank you to Steve, who thought I was going crazy when I started this new path, but gave me time to explore and ground. Thank you to Rosalie and Ronnie for always supporting me in everything. Thank you to my sweet soul sister Laura Gamache for walking into the abyss with me and keeping me sane. Special thanks to my teachers, including Joanna Pinney-Buel and Hari Das Melchizedek, for guiding me. Thank you to Laurie Cabot for the approach of applying analytical skills to magickal theory. And a special thanks to my friends, loved ones, and students who turned me on to new ideas, kept me from getting too zealous, and asked me really tough questions, including Christina Colangelo, Chris Giroux, Kala Trobe, Edwin Courtney, Orion Foxwood, Wendy Fogg, Lisa Davenport, Christine Tolf, Leandra Walker, and Duirin.
