Well versed in many Pagan traditions such as Wicca, Dianic, Gypsy and many others, his passion for paganism and witchcraft is unparalleled only next to charity work, baking ritual breads, gardening plus his art and music.

Gwaeron views his three core practices as that of Warrior/Mage, Shamanic Seer, and as a Priest/Healer. These practices are a broad nine fold weave of a myriad of skills and trainings including: Witchcraft and Wicca, Asatru Heathenry, Martial Arts, Sweat Lodge Water Pouring, Apache Wilderness Survival Training, Shamanism (Native American/African/Celtic), Northern European (Celtic and Norse primarily), Egyptian and Tibetan Cosmologies, Sorcery and The Western Mysteries/Ceremonial(CM)/Experimental Magick.

As a martial artist of many years, he has attuned himself to the flow of energies/Spirit that a Ninjutsu+ artist needs to direct and control. His education in the manipulation and control of energy fields (Chi/Ki/Magick) was greatly enhanced by Buddhist teachings. The meditative techniques of mind control that he learned, along with his engagement of Tibetan Sorcery, Necromancy, and Shamanism, formed key portions of his magickal foundations that are an integrative synthesis of Eastern and Western Mysteries and disciplines.

Gwaeron practices his various arts in the NJ- NYC region, and has trained all over the world in the esoteric arts for 36 years, with most of his work done in North America. His primary focus is that of the acting HP of The Order of the World Tree, which is a Coven in the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel Tradition. His additional foci including being an Initiate of a working Gardnerian Coven, and Pouring Water in Sweat Lodge. He was the Founder and Steward of The Northern New Jersey Pagan Fellowship.

Nicole Rieschl
I'm Nicole Rieschl, I love to craft wiccan themed objects out of what ever I can get my hands on. Sewing is another skill I practice, and I'm pretty good at it. Living in Mehoopany, I enjoy the river and the woods behind were I live. I hope to meet new friends at the Fall Frolic and I hope it will be a great experience for any first timers.
