Selene Moon-Owl

This book has come to be by the blessing of the Gods and Goddesses. I started out with the idea that I wanted to help some of the newbie witches that I have met here in my community. We talked about how difficult it is to know where to start, and who to trust.

Many years ago, when I lived in Florida, I belonged to a Pagan group called Sea Dune CUUPs. We had discussed offering classes to anyone interested in learning about the Pagan path. The path is long and wide and sometimes confusing. It is an umbrella for many paths. I started collecting and putting together material that I could use for these classes. But as it always does, life and the universe had other plans for me, and putting those classes together went to sleep for a long time.

Now, years later, I have found a community, a tribe, a home, whatever term you want to use. In finding this group, the discussion again started with, “Where do I begin?” So, I dug out all that old class material and started to look at it, wanting to find a way to put it to use. I had an outline and then started to piece things together. I never thought of myself as a writer. Writing a book was not even on my radar. But as I started putting the pieces together, it seemed to take on a life of its own. So, I went searching for help, and that is how A Living Path was born.

I never dreamed that it would be a complete book. But with help and guidance from some very wonderful people, this book took shape and has been born. I hope that those who read this book will find it helpful as they start out on the journey to find their path.

I wrote this book with one thought in mind: to help those just starting the journey on this path to find their way. I am not here to tell anyone what to believe, how to believe, or how to practice their spirituality. That is for the reader to decide and define. Every path, like every person, is different and unique. That is one of the most wonderful things about this path. You make it your own. You may meet folks that think like you and believe like you, and if you do, great. But keep an open mind. There is always something to learn if you keep your heart, your mind, and your ears open.

Known for her soft, mystical voice and heart-centered teaching, Selene translates complex spiritual ideas into practices that feel grounded and personal. She guides seekers toward clarity, sovereignty, and spiritual remembrance, with the conviction that intuition is a homecoming and ritual is an expression of what is already true within us.

Her community offers circles, workshops, rituals, and digital resources for those who want to remember their magick, reclaim their sovereignty, and walk with truth and intention. Selene lives in North Carolina, surrounded by trees, moonlight, and the quiet companionship of the living world. When she is not writing, she is crafting rituals and magical items, walking with the seasons, and supporting her community.

A Living Path is her first full-length spiritual manuscript, a culmination of years of practice, remembrance, and devotion. It is published under Moon Owl Press, where her signature ethos guides every offering: where lunar wisdom becomes written magic.
