Pagans Tonight! Weekend Edition with Hyperion fromThe UnnamedPath

With your Host Zaracon, along with the Pagan Tonight Team. Tonight we have Hyperion Hyperion is the host and webmaster for The Unnamed Path. His road to discovering this tradition is a winding one and it continues to unfold each day. He was raised Roman Catholic, is a first generation American and discovered that he was gay at the age of eleven. His spiritual education began shortly after discovering his sexual orientation, when he found himself being ostracized by the Catholic Church he attended, worked at and volunteered for. His deeply religious sense and constant relationship with God led him to explore alternative religions. While studying and investigating most of the world’s major religions, he learned to read tarot, magical herbalism, candle magic, astrology and meditation. After seeking through most conventional major religions he still didn’t find a good fit for him as a gay man and as a magical person - until he came across the occult section in the local metaphysical bookshop. After reading one book in the store he came to realize that there was a religion that captured all of his personal beliefs and practices in one place and put a name on it - Wicca. He then began studying Wicca and Magic as a solitary practitioner for a few years then sought out a community. While attending an open Lughnasadh celebration run by Lance and Grail (DCW) in 1994, he found his new spiritual home. He began an intensive magical apprenticeship with the Druidic Craft of the Wise and after 3+ years, was fully initiated and a functioning member of their Coven. He became a blessed teacher and conducted classes in the DCW, candle magic, herb magic, astrology, divination and many other topics. He grew in the Craft until his group elected him their Priest. He was ordained in 1998 to the Priesthood of the Craft. . TOO SEE MORE OF THIS BIO GO TO THE UNNAMED PATH WEBSITE www.unnamedpath.com You can contact Hyperion via email at revhyperion@gmail.com
