Patricia Woodruff
Patricia “Robin” Woodruff is a polymath, author, artist and Priestess of Stone Circle Wicca (USA). Her Lemko heritage from the remote Carpathian mountains started her on a path of intense study of Slavic magic, resulting in her becoming a spirit-initiated Lemko Bosorka (witch.) Woodruff has been immersed for over three years writing the Roots of Slavic Magic series, while also studying for her PhD. Having read over 3,000 sources on the subject, Woodruff can provide new insights into this ancient religion based on recent archeological discoveries, newly-revealed rituals, and analysis of petroglyphs. Woodruff has found her work aligning with the work of Marija Gimbutas in her cross-cultural studies of Old Europe. Her work is uncovering the ancient commonalities between religions and getting back to the core shamanic roots of this amazing culture. amazon.com/author/patriciarobinwoodruff
