Greetings! I am Lady Darkana. I have been a pagan witch for 37 years and High Priestess for 10 years. I was raised up in the Pentecostal religion and for years had to
hide the truth of who I really was. This caused me a lot of pain because of the restrictions placed upon me by the the church, being young I was not able to come out and say I
did not agree with what was being taught in the church. Deep down in my soul I knew I was different, I felt the magick all around me, I listened to nature and felt I was one
with the night. At 13 being unhappy and living in a dysfunctional and abusive home I ran away. I eventually took up with the wrong people and became involved in drugs. My drug
of choice was cocaine and even though I was doing drugs somewhere along the way I found my spiritual path. I went through many trials and and tribulations before I finally realized
I had to be who I was no matter what and stop doing the drugs. By the time I reached the age of 18 I had gotten pregnant 3 times and at 19 I got pregnant with my oldest son who
forever changed my life. I had already lost 2 sets of twins and my daughter, all before my sixth month because of my drug and alcohol abuse. When I found out I was going to have
my oldest son I quit doing drugs and drinking. I came out and told everyone I was pagan and I would live my life for my Goddess.
My family has given me the love and support that I needed to stay clean. It has been a long hard road but it was worth it and I am accepted
for who I am by friends and family. And who am I you ask, why I am a witch and a proud one at that. In November, 2014 I will have lived 31 years as a drug free witch.
Me and my boys in 2006.
On New Year's eve, 2011 I was given one of the greatest gifts a child could give their mother and that gift was the gift of a beautiful grand daughter. My youngest son had finally had his first child.
March 12, 2010 I lost my mother after a long battle with cancer. She lived her life as a shaman and was proud of her Native American heritage. I miss her dearly and the debates we had regularly on the different aspects of spirituality.
May she continue to be a teacher and advisor in the afterlife.
In April of 2004 my oldest son gave me a beautiful grandson. Our joy was short lived as the baby became very ill and on November 29, 2004, at the age of 7 months we lost him.
He was our pride and joy and will forever miss him.
