She is a blogger, a columnist, and a contributing writer to Gemini Witch: Unlock the Magic of Your Sun Sign and Llewellyn’s 2024 and 2025 Sabbats Almanac. Irene has taught workshops and performed and led rituals at many festivals and conferences over the years.

Caine Dreamwalker, once an officer in a prison, is now a sworn priest of the Morrigan who walks a path of primal magic. A massage therapist and shaman, Caine’s life is dedicated wholly to the practice of healing arts. He received his calling nearly a decade ago, amidst the chaos of both a divorce and the process of recovering from a broken spine. That upheaval sent him down a road of deep self-discovery, during which he has come to find himself standing alongside his spirit sister and cocreator Irene Glasse. Through her encouragement, Caine has begun to put words and even some semblance of organization to the wildness that is his particular flavor of spirituality. A true believer in the power of our primal nature, Caine seeks constantly to explore and refine techniques that encourage healing, growth, and connection by way of tapping directly into those things that are raw, untamed, and powerful. It is his deepest wish that this path, which has so helped him find peace and strength during his most wounded moments, can help others rekindle the fires within.
