About Me |
|
| Author's Profile: Mike Nichols is the celebrated author of The Witches' Sabbats , book and web site (which is blocked from here, so you have to enter it: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/7280/) --the ultimate resources on Pagan holidays and related writings. He does extensive online teaching and writing, occasionally guest lectures at Pagan festivals , and performs in a Pagan band called Spellbound. Mike has been a featured speaker on National Public Radio, Spiral Dance Radio, and Eclectic Pagan Podcast (Episodes 16 and 22) on iTunes.
A pioneer in the American neo-Pagan movement, Nichols taught classes in Witchcraft for twenty years continuously, from 1970 to 1989, in Columbia and Kansas City, Missouri, through the Communiversity and at his bookstore, The Magick Lantern. He was also the editor of The Lantern's Light, the store's in-house publication. A founding member of the Coven of New Gwynedd, Nichols was the first Wiccan representative on the Kansas City Interfaith Council. Nichols is a lifelong student of the Craft and, after years of research, writing, and teaching, he still considers himself a student. He received his BA from the University of Missouri, with a double major in communications and psychology (specializing in parapsychology). He has done graduate work in the field of library and information science. |
