Lady Debbe is also currently serving as President of Witch School, a major educational partner of the Tradition. A former Captain in the Air Force, Lady Debbe also holds a Master’s Degree in Education.

Lady Debbe is originally a native of Oregon. She currently makes her home in Rossville, IL, at Hesychia House.

Hesychia House was envisioned as a House of Contemplation, intended to host spiritual retreats.

Hesychia House has also served as the location for a number of events including Lustrations and Witches' Balls.

Born into a Christian family, she learned the importance of having a spiritual life.  As an adult, her religious affiliation changed to the Catholic Church which gave her a love for ritual. 

Later she was introduced to the Rosicrucians, Theosophy and metaphysical ideas leading her to Wicca. 

Keeping with her belief that all religions are valid, her diverse religious background facilitates her tolerance and acceptance of all religious paths.
