CATHBADH 
Raised in the mountains of Southern Colorado by a family well grounded in their Scottish ethnicity, Cathbadh has been a practitioner of some form of Celtic inspired spirituality all his life. Coming to Virginia by way of the U.S. Navy gave him the unique opportunity to travel extensively throughout the Celtic world to places such as Scotland, Cornwall, Wales, Brittany, Nova Scotia and Galicia. Cathbadh remains deeply involved in the preservation of Celtic, Scottish and Gaelic Culture as a living entity through his close ties to the Scottish Society of Tidewater, the Tidewater Irish Society, the St. Andrews Society of Tidewater and the 76th MacDonald's Highlanders Historical Society. Additionally, Cathbadh is a 10-year Scottish Gaelic language learner; in 2003, together with his wife Marcey, he co-founded the Scots Gaelic Speakers Society of Tidewater where he teaches the Beginner Classes.
His calling to a faith expressed through Gaelic culture culminated in the mid-1990s when Cathbadh met his lifelong friend and fellow Druid, Starrag Druiean Dubh, at a Norfolk, VA CUUPS meeting; together over the next decade they created and founded the Dalriadic Tradition, a Gaelic Druidic Tradition based on the ancient Irish Sagas and extensive research into Irish and Scottish Highland folk practices. Cathbadh's initial Druidic instruction and study was through the Fidh (Ovate) tradition as a Seer, Magician, Liturgist and in Brehon Law; in addition to being an accomplished Bodhran player! Having taken the vows of the Draoidh he is a devotee to the Warrior Goddess Sgathach and currently serves as an Ard t-Sagart (High Priest) to the independent grove, Tuatha na Doirachan.

JANIE CARPENTER
Janie Carpenter is a Mama Bear, Granny Bear and an eclectic Pagan priestess with a deep interest in shamanism. She finds connection with spirit through singing and dancing in drum circles and, well, dancing at the Food Lion, too (much to the chagrin of her kids...although they swear they've become accustomed to the disco-dancing ....somewhat). She is also codirector, with Dirk Weaver, of the most awesome pagan choir, The InChantors. When not singing, dancing, or attending to the duties that put food on her table, she attempts to work toward Global Cooling and chases butterflies. She is a member of Mystralsong.
SHAMAN FILLHART 
Shaman Fillhart is a native of Ohio, raised in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. He began practicing majick over twenty years ago, finding his path as a Dragon Sorcerer and interpreter for spirit along the way. Always inquisitive and insightful, Shaman began exploring divination through tarot at fifteen, eventually developing skills with a range of divinitory methods and tools, and now maintains a strong view of divination as a practical art; one created to help bring change and growth. Two decades of eclectic studies and journeys have led him to delve into everything from divination to spirit settling, counciling to the creation of majikal tools.
REVEREND SUSAN DAVIS / MOONSILVERED 
Susan has been an active witch since 1972. She is a trained massage therapist as well as an Usui & Seichem Reiki Master who is an avid proponent of kitchen herbalism. She began doing healing hands work, unknowingly, as a very small child and this began her studies in inner mastery. She has trained in deep trance and meditative trance states for decades, working ever closer to attaining balance and awareness. She has explored most of the major magickal processes, keeping those that work and abandoning the rest, so she lays no claim to any one group or process. She can be Druidic, shamanic, witchy or therapist depending on what is happening in this moment in time. She can also be quite scandalous or silly if the mood strikes. Her Crossroads Trad camps here as the Llama Nation, and all are welcome to come claim a chat and a coffee day or night.
There will be a unique and special ritual on Saturday, 5pm at Llama Nation to bid goodbye to our HPS Emeritus, Charlotte Campbell who left us suddenly in August. All are welcome to attend and observe and cheer her bright spirit forward.
