About Anneliese....

My early years were a confusing juxtaposition of spirits talking to me about the mystical while humans encouraged me to pursue the security of the mundane.   

Many years were spent seesawing between mystic and mundane, Native and White, spiritual and intellectual. Seven years ago, I stepped into the wyrd.  I am a descendant and wisdom keeper for ancestors who are proud of me.  I am the village healer, the witch in the woods, the troll cunning woman, the häxa and mushroom priestess.

I co-own Calyx Wellness Center in Austin, Texas.  There,  I  guide spiritual mentorship in the indigenous animist traditions of Northern Europe.  I hold ceremony and teach classes when the Spirits tell me to do so.  Cherokee spirituality and magic is a part of my personal practice,  however, I don't teach this closed tradition.

​As I continue on this spiritual path,   I honor my teachers, ancestors, guides and elders in this and other realms.   I honor the wisdom of my ancestors in other realms who have been whispering in my ear since I was young:  Thelma Faye, Alice Alwilda, Suzanna Peacock and Thankful Howard.   I am also deeply grateful to these earthbound elders and mentors:  Shelley Imholte, Heather Davies,  Imelda Almqvist, Tina Zion, Johannes Björn Gärdbåck, Ingrid Kincaid,  Freyia Norling, Cedar Stevens, Darcy Williamson and, of course, my wyrd poodles. ​​
