Stephanie Taylor
Stephanie Taylor (aka Rasenna Elvenstar) is dedicated to guiding and teaching those who seek the Old Ways. She is a 3rd degree initiate of a Celtic Traditionalist system of Wicca, and a 3rd degree initiate of Italian Witchcraft (the Arician Tradition). She is a legally ordained clergy of Witchcraft. Stephanie is also the co-author and co-creator of The Well Worn Path Divination Kit (2005) and The Hidden Path Divination Kit, released September 2007.
Nature has always been an extremely important part of Stephanie’s life experience and felt the magic of the world around her without ever being brought into conventional religion. As a young girl Stephanie was taught about the Little People by her Welsh grandmother and Astrology by her mother. She has studied, taught, and used the arts as a tool of transformation and discovery of the Mysteries throughout her life experience. She is also a Tarot reader and teacher with many years of experience.
Stephanie has owned and operated Raven's Loft since 1998, first as a brick and mortar shop and now as an internet store. She has been a guest speaker on several panels alongside such noted figures as Raymond Buckland, Monty Farber, Amy Zerner, and Rachel Pollack. She has also appeared on television and in several short film documentaries on Witchcraft. Stephanie has also worked as a consultant for the movie pilot film Mind Forest, in which she likewise appears.
She currently lives in southern California with her husband, Raven Grimassi and divides her time between teaching workshops, operating Raven's Loft web store, author management and publicist work, while creating and developing a Mystery Tradition School called The College of the Crossroads.
