About the Founder

To fully understand the system, you must understand the teacher. I have been a teacher all my life in some way. I have led religious communities, orders, and mentored for over twenty-five years. I have been in the occult for over thirty years. I have been a meditator since I was eight, when I began to study martial arts. 

​

I have never formally joined a coven but have been around witches and worked with them since I was fourteen. I am an academic with a master's and a doctorate, both within the field of psychology/sex therapy. I have had visions I did not share since I was age four until I met with a man in a coffee house who told me the right things, and I bared my soul to him. He became my first teacher and my first guru. That teacher opened me to the idea of a religious magical order, and I never looked back. Formally trained in that closed-door system, I never sought out the usual suspects, the authors and leaders within the communities, because I saw no real means to get the inside information due to their isolation from students. Once I found a key to sources, I did not want watered-down versions. I did not want the politically correct answers. And I did not want what was mass-produced. 

​

Because of that, I learned bodywork, energy work, Taoism, Tantra (from three sources), hypnosis, NLP, Jungian Shadow Work, and some divination systems. I learned my way as a mystic and ran into Deities throughout. Many of them are from the East. Until 2019, when I began to encounter what I must now call the Stygian Way and the Conclave (A Pantheon of Deities).
