Beth
Beth Davis is a 57-year-old pagan, witch, and priestess(who chose Brighid and in addition was chosen by The Morrigan; she has been active in the Craft for 25+ years and practices primarily as a solitary. Her Pagan Path began with a year's training at the Church of Wicca, though she chose a solitary Path. With Ginger Strivelli, Beth is a co-founding priestess of the Appalachian Pagan Alliance.
Beth was a nurse for 22years, working in labor and delivery, home care, hospice, and long-term care; also she has taught Lamaze classes. She was born in the Piedmont of North Carolina and lived a couple years in the Asheville area but is now living back in the middle of the state again with her little dog Matilda.
Beth is the former humble WebMistress for the APA and still helps out occasionally with articles, info, and website work and is increasing her work in activism. She just took a position as national newsletter Editoress with the Pagan Unity Campaign, assistant to the NC Alliance of Pagan Voters president, plus continuing to co-lead the APA. Beth has a new zeal for activism and teaching tolerance and diversity following a job loss that could be for no other reason than religious discrimination.
Other interests are tarot, crystals, herbcraft, sketching, creating web graphics, crafts of many types (some of which are posted in the APA's Website Creativity pages) as well as soapmaking, books, music, and all things Celtic. Beth's totem animal is the White Deer/Hart,(Ginger, miraculously, found a Latvian fairy tale on the White Hart on Ebay and ordered it from Moscow!) and Beth is a Priestess of Brighid and the Morrigan. Recently, she has also been Chosen by the Egyptian God of Earth and healing, Seb, and the Cherokee Corn Mother Selu, who also is related to the healing arts.
