About Me:

Hereditary Witch, poet, philosopher, writer, photographer, student of ancient cultures, languages and folklore.

Welcome

Shiva

Dance of Shiva. A picture I took at the nightclub TAO in the Venetian Hotel where my husband, Danny Roberts was showing his art.~*~ In search of a medium, I have been a singer, musician, dancer, actor and an artist...then I found words. Poetry, short stories, essays, novels, rants or editorials, dark fiction or philosophy - I'm not quite sane unless I'm writing. (As a reporter/producer in broadcast news I loved video editing. I still express my love of imagery and painting through photography and Photoshop. I'm a native Las Vegan and the number one fan of my husband, Las Vegas artist, Danny Roberts. We have a gallery for which I am the business side to his artistic side. I'm produce all of his prints, shooting, editing and production. I also maintain all the websites. Links to him are below...) My last journalistic stint was the Art Beat feature writer on for Stok'd magazine.

First last and always, I'm a story teller.

MY INHERITANCE is witchcraft. For the past three years I've been writing under my craft name: Ardriana Cahill. I'm editing my book (working title) *Legacy - One Hundred Years of Wisdom from a Hereditary Witch,* shopping for a proofreader, editor, agent and/or publisher and working hard to live up to my sub-title. My extensive Witchcraft website, however overdue for an update, (...where you will find info that you won't find on other craft websites) is banner linked below.

MY PASSION is for the amazingly talented Danny Roberts who's been showing for the past three years in Vegas at The Art's Factory. He's also appeared in Portland, Sacramento and Palm Springs and is about to show in Phoenix. The banner link below will take you to Danny's (updated 07-31-07) KICK-ASS website:

MY ADDICTION is dark fiction, with a novel completed, another started and plans to submit my short stories. Evidence of my darker side can be found in angry prose, dark fiction and scathing editorials by hitting the banner below.

The Tides of Life

All that begins must end.
All that lives must die.

In this season of joyful abundance, it is also a season of goodbyes. As we begin to move into the dark half of the year, we say goodbye to the green season. We say goodbye to the dazzling Sun. Sleepy summer drifts into austere fall as we harvest and bank our stores against the looming cold ahead. We feast. We dance. We celebrate our good fortune. Yet, the wheat dies to become life-giving bread.

The spokes of the Wheel of the Year divide the ei… Continue

On Knowledge versus Wisdom

Karen Follett offers a spell to open oneself to wisdom in Llewellyn's 2004 Witches' Spell-a-Day Almanac. She says…“you can read to gain knowledge, but you have to seek to gain wisdom.”

I’m not sure what that meant so I tried to explain it to myself and this is what came out.

On Being a Solitary

There are things one might miss by not being trained by a mentor. There is training that is not found in books - at least - not yet. Like a physical trainer - one might reach one's ideal physique faster with someone pushing them - especially for those whose research-discipline is a little dodgy or those who simply don't know what to ask for or where to look. But who is qualified to decide when one has "arrived" at adepthood on a life lon

On The Pentagram and its Many Meanings

Sacred, satanic or no meaning at all, the Pentagram or five-pointed star has been a recognizable symbol for as long as recorded memory. Whether it is a symbol of virtue and self-restraint, vice and self indulgence or a more complex representation for a deeper belief system, the pentagram is probably the most misunderstood symbol in modern culture.

Ancient astronomers first noted the symbol in the visual path of the planet Venus. The planet, was mistakenly viewe
