Natures Magick was created in 1997 out of a need for quality metaphysical products available for purchase within New Zealand. We started out as a 2 person business and grew into a small team of people, dedicated to bringing you unique items for your spiritual practises. Over the years, Natures Magick has acquired a life of it's own, growing and changing to incorporate a variety of purposes.

We have included bio's on some of the people behind Natures Magick. All links include photo's of that Event or direct you to that person's or Order's website.

TRACEY

Having always been interested in the occult since a very early age and having family members who practise various 'arts', magick has always been a part of Tracey's life. Born in the north of England, Tracey emigrated with her parents to New Zealand after spending 5 years living in Canada. After returning to live in England for several years, Tracey arrived back in New Zealand. No occult store around the corner! Tracey decided to create Natures Magick and 2 years later it was open for shopping!

Tracey has held workshops and lectures in Hamilton on various subjects and along with her partner Craig and others, have held Open Sabbats which turned into the NZ Pagan Festivals. Tracey and Craig organised renown authors Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone to fly to NZ to facilitate a number of lectures and workshops in 2002.

On Beltaine 2003 Tracey and Craig and friends formed The NZ Pagan Centre Charitable Trust which took over the running of the Festivals. They also organised a series of Intensive workshops held by Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone during their 2nd visit to New Zealand in 2004. The NZ Witches Ball was held in Hamilton in 2005 and Tracey, through her role as Secretary to the NZPC Charitable Trust, was involved in the organising of that event also.

She is an initiated 3rd Degree Wiccan High Priestess and is the Ordained Elder High Priestess of the Aquarian Tabernacle Church NZ (ATC) since February 2004. Over the years, Tracey has appeared in numerous newspaper articles, conducted radio interviews on Hamilton Community Radio, Tainui FM and Radio New Zealand. She has also taken part in a documentary on paganism shown on TV's 60 Minutes as well as being filmed, along with the NZ Pagan Festival for another documentary for South Pacific Pictures.

Tracey has studied Magickal Herbalism, Incense making, Aromatherapy, Nature Spirits, Nature, Folklore, the Paranormal in general, Divination, Scrying, Trance work, Prophecy, Ritual Magick and Animals.

She has trained with a couple of Occult groups and Wiccan's Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone.

At 42, she prefers a quieter life spending most of her time with her partner of 13 years - Craig, her 17 month old daughter Cassandra, their dog Kether and her cats Kali, Pandora and Titan in a small rural village in the Waikato countryside.

KATHRYN

Also known as "Mysti". Kathryn's path started when she was young having an early interest in mythology and ancient civilisations. She has studied Angels and Demonology, Basic Ceremonial Magick, Meditations and Tracework, Magickal Incense and Oil making, Magickal Herbalism, "Cottage-Craft", Shamanistic Mask-making, Vodoun and Divination - particularly Palmistry.

She volunteered at the public Pagan Festivals from 2002 onwards.

When the New Zealand Pagan Centre Charitable Trust (NZPCCT) was formed on Beltaine in 2003, she was appointed as a trustee member and was the Web-administrator for it's website and messageboard. The NZPCCT members organised the 2004 Morrinsville Pagan Festival, the 2005 New Zealand Witches Ball in Hamilton, Open Sabbats and a Hecate's Feast Night later that year.

Kathryn had attended Tracey's workshops on "The Basics of Witchcraft", "Incense Making and Herbal Magick" and "Magickal Oils" during the previous years, as well as Mambo Wedo's "The Beliefs and Practises of Voodoo" and Janet Farrar & Gavin Bone's "Inner Mysteries Workshop" which durated over a weekend.

She was a witness to Tracey and Craig's Initiation into 3rd Degree Priest/esshood as well as their Ordination and Eldership into the Aquarian Tabernacle Church.

She later studied and practised Voodoo under the guidance of Madam Wedo (also known as Paula from Dragonspace), an initiated Mambo (High Priestess) of the Haitian Vodoun religion. In 2005, Kathryn travelled to Australia as part of Madam Wedo's "Voodoo Experience" workshops facilitating as the Master Drummer.

After a year off in self-study and group workings, Kathryn approached Tracey with regards to developing, expanding and breathing new life into Natures Magick - New Zealand's oldest online magickal supply shop.
