Experience & Training
Kat is the High Priestess and organizer of Temple of the Moon (TOTM).
Kat was born and raised in Southern California, and Kat’s experience in the metaphysical world, began at a very young age.

Kat was raised in the familial magickal, and energetic healing arts, rooted in hoodoo, Appalachian folk magick, as well as Mystery Traditions that blended her Native American ancestry of Cherokee and Choctaw with her Northern European ancestry of Welsh, Pict, Scots, and Germanic blood.
Kat’s talents and vision appeared early in her life and her experience as an active true dreamer and clairsentient began before the age of 5. Learning to live with and handle her gifts was a challenge Kat learned to deal with over the years.
