Fiona Horne

From devout Catholic to Rock Chick and Witch, Fiona Horne has had a few incarnations, but her taste for the outrageous hasn't left her.  From a young age Fiona has loved costume and performance, and being a witch since 1988 has given her ample opportunity for both.  Fiona is also a writer, producing 8 books on witchcraft, one of them for teens, who make up a growing number of followers of this new-old religion.  No suprise, given the popularity of TV programs like Charmed, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Fiona says that "a witch is a person, male or female, who honours nature as being sacred, who recognises that there's a God, and a Goddess.  Particularly the Goddess plays a very omnipresent role in our religion, and a witch is also someone who believes they can do spells and magic and create change, and does ritual work, ritualises elements of their life to have a magical appreciation of life."
When Fiona discovered Wicca, and the focus on the Goddess in Wicca, she was very excited.  She says that it "was very exciting to discover that there was a way of looking at the world where women could be considered divine and a positive expression of the life force empowered, and beautiful, and divine and sacred, and that womens sexuality was something to be upheld as an expression of that."
