Matt Kramer
I am a freelance writer in Sacramento, CA. In my free time I enjoy music and concerts, (especially heavy metal), hiking in the Sierras and foothills, and exploring. I also enjoy reading, chess, meditation, yoga, and writing poetry. My
interest in Paganism stems from a lifelong fascination with German folk stories that I would hear from my Grandfather as a child.
An interest in anthropology and mythology have made me a continuing student of world religions. I first connected with Celtic and Asatru systems in college where I studied Communications. While today I still incorporate these traditions in my path, I identify as a Thelemite. I am interested in ceremonial and chaos magick and all things esoteric and pagan.

I am an editor here at Pagan Forest Magazine. I fell into my spiritual path in 2006 when I was introduced to a local energy worker here in east Tennessee. Through him, I learned how to manipulate my own
aura and how to commune with the spirits around me. A few years later (around 2011), I stumbled upon Druidry.org. I am now a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids and am slowly working through the grade materials. My personal practice is a blend of Wicca ritual and Druid mythology that is much like the practice discussed in Philip Carr-Gomm’s Druidcraft.
Currently, I walk with the Goddess Brighid. She called me earlier this year (2014) to walk with women. My interest currently lies in pursuing a certification as a Doula and eventually Midwife. I plan, also, to gain some knowledge in medicinal herbs and their effectiveness with balancing feminine energies. Through Brighid, I hope to develop programs, rituals, and ceremonies that will help women with the transition from Maiden to Mother and Mother to Crone smoothly and with as much knowledge as I can conceivably give them.
As an editor for this magazine, I hope to expand both my knowledge and that of the readers. I feel that an editor’s purpose exists in enabling the writers to clearly convey their messages so that they are heard and understood. It is my wish to see Pagan Forest Magazine grow and flourish over the years into a reputable teaching tool for those interested in walking any sort of non-traditional spiritual path. With the team we have here, I know that will become a reality.
Thank you for reading with us. May your path be clear.
