Yarrow Coven - Oscianna

Hi! I'm Oscianna but everyone calls me Osci (pronounced Oh-She) for short. My mundane name is Jenn.

I am a daughter of the Waters, the Bear, the dolphin, a protector and nurturer. I love to swim in the Oceans, play in the waves, submerge myself fully in the waters of our Mother. I play, I dance in the rain, I roll in mud, I drum, I smile and I connect to Mother Earth.

I am a proud member of the St. Louis Pagan Picnic committee and currently serving as chairman of the Bardic Circle where we showcase local and regional musicians and performers at the Pagan Picnic. Additionally I am a member of the St. Louis Witches Ball committee who holds our annual masquerade ball each October as a fundraising event for the Pagan Picnic.

My spirituality is different then most people. I was raised agnostic but with many questions about spirituality. It was through this search that I found Paganism and I am a better person for it. I am a connector. A mystic. I am Pagan but I am Christian. I am a simply a priestess who is guided by experience, connection and intuition rather than dogma. I am just me. In otherwords, I do not like to define my path as a specific religion but rather an expression of how I see and feel the presence of the Divine in everything around me and within me. I'm tired of religion. I want spiritual food and I want to experience it in whatever form I find. That is what spirituality is all about- a connection. It is a mystical experience and to try to define it or put words on it is almost to limit it. To me, that is the freedom in Paganism for I am only limited by what I choose to limit myself by. I truly believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. People. Places. Nature. Occurences. The elements. They may appear random but they are only random if you do not choose to find meaning through them. I choose meaning and growth and that change and evolution is all about becoming everything I am supposed to grow and be :) That type of learning cannot be found in any book. It is about digging deep and opening the heart.

I am a singer-songwriter and music is a major part of my life. I love to play guitar and sing music daily. I have been playing solo acoustic shows and gigs around St. Louis for a year and a half now and have played at Venues such as Cruisin Rt. 66, 10 mile house, the Blue Agave, Pagan Picnic and am happy to play at any festival or venue that welcomes acoustic folk music. You can find more information about me and listen to some of my music at www.myspace.com/osciannamusic. Currently I am working on a demo cd with a studio and hopefully will have that completed by 2009.

I am a Priestess, Reiki master, a poet, a musician, a writer, a scientist, gardner, herbalist, sister, friend, wife, daughter and mother. I love composing and singing music, writing my own poetry, dancing at Music festivals, hiking, backpacking, camping, photography, art, drumming and so much more. I enjoy life and am in that time of my life of embracing and hopefully sharing myself with others. It is all the dance of life. Its all good. Its called living.

Say not, "I have found the path of the soul" Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."
Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth."

Namaste Oscianna
