per monthWhile the connection to the past draws us in, a spirituality that seeks only the past and ignores the modern world we live in doesn't provide us with all the connections we need to find fulfilling experiences.
To that end, I'm looking to help bring that ancient connection to the modern world through three (because hey, I'm a Druid) different paths:
- Simple, Easy-to-Follow Work - There's a place and a time for advanced, deep, complicated work, but when it is the only way knowledge is packaged, it discourages those new to Paganism and its work should be easy to enter, even if the work becomes complicated down the road. A good gatekeeper of wisdom and vision brings people to the fire safely, rather than keeping them outside the light of the flame for their own safety.
- Multimedia Resources - We live in a modern world, and we have modern tools: these tools can be used to provide a deeper experience by meeting people where they are, rather than by making them break out of their usual headspace and learning processes. To that end, I produce not only traditional, written content, but also video, images, audio, and other content that strives to offer something that speaks to today's Pagan.
- Accessible, Representative Content - Paganism is for everyone, and it should reach out to everyone. This means closed captioning for videos, screen-readable text alternatives for images, and transcripts for audio podcasts, wherever possible. There's no excuse these days for creating content that's not accessible. In addition, we have a wide variety of individuals of many backgrounds, genders, orientations, and statuses: we should provide content people can see themselves in, too.
And thanks for your support. It really means a lot.

Workshop Access
I'll also share blog posts about how my workshops go, reflections on things I wish I'd been able to include, and information on where to find additional information.
This tier is great for supporting the direct work that I do as an ADF Senior Priest.
Multimedia Pass
* Nearly all the videos that get to a publishable quality (including some rough-cuts and things that don't always see the light of day)
* Foley sound recordings for Pagan artists
* Graphics promoting inclusion and diversity for Pagan groups (and a license to use them for your open, inclusive group)
* Additional digital media assets
* Access to written articles before they are published
This level best supports the broader work I do in the community.
At this level and above, Patreon will also ask you for your shipping address: at least once per year, you'll receive a physical mailing from me with magical or Pagan art.
Book & Article Pass
This level provides access to the books I author before they ever hit the street. I typically write 1-2 books per year on a variety of subjects in modern Paganism, and I revise old books reasonably often. If you're at this level or above, you'll get an update on my blog when books are ready for pre-order, and I'll ship them to you before they ever reach anyone else's bookshelves.
As I write the books, you'll see updates, snippets, and excerpts as I work through the process of writing and organization: these are notes I don't typically share with anyone else.
You'll also get access to accessible eBook versions, and any audiobook versions I do of these books, at no additional cost when you preorder a physical book.
All-Access Video Pass
* Workshops
* Rituals (personal & group)
* Animation
* How-To's
* Documentaries & Interviews
* Gag Reels (yes, they exist)
* and probably stuff I haven't thought of yet
On top of everything that's already been listed in lower levels. I'll mix in some patron-only content with early-release content for this level. This is the best level to get "everything" I produce.
