Since ShadowEater's workshop at last year's Babalon Rising, he has completed initiation and  men's circle facilitator training. Now he's stoked to help you explore the Emperor's shadow that is in each of us.

Re DuVernay has presented at Babalon Rising in the past, as well as at Detroit Pagan Pride, and many smaller gatherings, and has been leading public rituals on and off for over a decade now, but Babalon Rising is her favorite.

Re is a 3rd Degree Alexandrian High Priestess, leading a small coven out of Kalamazoo Michigan. She also has some association with a few other orders, but does not consider herself to be a "member" of them in the strictest sense.

Re's rituals range from very traditional things you would expect to see from an Alexandrian Wiccan to work with pop culture archetypes, that most would consider to be Chaos Magick.
