MysticTree Grove / Heidi Snelgrove

With Taichung, Taiwan setting the background for her earliest memories MysticTree was drawn to the Eastern cultures. Her studies of the Tao lead to the study of Chinese Astrology, Feng Shui and eventually Eastern Mysticism. From a completely different source, MysticTree was introduced to Tarot from a Portuguese tradition and that lead to a life long love of these images and the Arc Types they represent.  Her Tarot Journey led her discovery of the Western Traditions and to the path of a Kitchen Witch.
More than once MysticTree has been warned that mixing Asian Mysticism and Western Magick could not be good. Contrary to that, her studies have led her to see more similarities than differences and now she blends the two traditions without hesitation. In Tarot, she sees the wisdom of Confucius and the simplicity of the Tao. In the pages of the I Ching, she sees the images of the Major Arcana. When weaving a spell, she calls upon the power of the elements to work with the qi energies of motion and stillness.
In addition to MysticTree’s spiritual journey, she was gaining skills in the corporate world. As a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), she has taught all over the country. It was natural to blend her love of teaching with Tarot and Magick just as it was natural to move from writing children’s stories to articles about Tarot.
These days MysticTree lives a very full life as the Director of Religious Education at Sacred Journey Fellowship, an Earth-Centered Unitarian Universalist Congregation; and a Board Member of the Texas Earthen Tribes Alliance, Inc. (TxETA) organizers of the North Texas Pagan Pride Day, Dallas Witches Ball and more.

She provides kitchen witch services here at the Wise Woman’s Cupboard, runs the Wise Woman’s Pantry Club, writes and enjoys taking care of the ones she loves.
