Her passion is to learn and she loves to study and research using books, online resources, schools and wonderful mentors. She’s learned a lot over the years and still continues to learn each and every day, but she has learned the most from actually getting outside and practicing her craft. Also, Rachel likes to like to laugh … and eat cake…

It is Rachel’s great pleasure to give talks to Pagan groups and co-run open rituals and workshops run by the Kitchen Witch Coven. She is also High Priestess of the Kitchen Witch Coven and an Elder at the online Kitchen Witch School of Natural Witchcraft. She’s also the host of the Pagan Portal Podcast which airs regular on the usual podcast platforms.

Rachel is also a columnist with Fate & Fortune magazine, and a contributor to several magazines such as Pagan Dawn and Witchcraft & Wicca. You can find her regular ramblings on her personal blog and YouTube channel.

Rachel’s craft is a combination of old religion witchcraft, Wicca, hedge witchery, kitchen witchery and folk magic. Her heart is that of an English Kitchen Witch. Finally, in 2023 she was listed in the Watkins Mind, Body, Spirit magazine’s “Spiritual 100.”
