Sandy English - Founding Priestess
Sandy English has been a practicing Pagan for over a decade. She spent 5 or 6 years studying with RJ Stewart and has participated in Orion Foxwood’s Faery Seer Apprenticeship program for over 5 years. She has some training in Celtic Traditional craft and Stregha (outer court), as well as training in the Western Mystery Tradition. In 2008 Sandy began teaching spiritual work to a small group of students. In the year that followed, the ground was laid for the Silver Branch Tradition. Through a strong practice in visionary work, the initial tenets, practices, spiritual lines, and magical work of the tradition was revealed to Sandy, and together with her students and with the guidance of Ivo Dominguez Jr., she began working with the revealed knowledge and practices. This led to the initiation of the tradition (and its first initiates) on the Summer Solstice in 2009. The tradition is in its infancy and is evolving as our gods and guides continue to work with us to strengthen its core practices and teachings.
