About Anneliese....

My early years were a confusing juxtaposition of  dead ancestors talking to me about plants and medicines and living family pushing me to pursue academia and job security.   As an enrolled at-large citizen of the Cherokee Nation with other ancestors from England, Scotland, Germany and Scandinavia, I was surrounded by the cacophony of the dead while trying to be a good girl for the living.
 
I have been a witch for as many years as I've been a nurse.  (Nearly 20, but who is counting?) When I wasn't helping heal bodies as a nurse, I was helping heal my own (and others) spirits as a mystic and witch.  Many years were spent seesawing between mystic and nurse, Native and White, spiritual and intellectual, magical and mundane. Six years ago, I embraced my wyrd self and became a descendant and wisdom keeper of ancestors who are proud of me.  I am the village healer, the witch in the woods, the troll cunning woman, the häxa, yarbwoman and granny woman rising.

In addition to being a mom of teenagers and a psychiatric nurse at an acute care inpatient hospital,  I co-own Calyx Wellness Center in Austin, Texas.  There,  I teach classes and see clients for spiritual counseling and magical mentorship in the indigenous animist traditions of Northern European and Ozarkan folk magic and spirituality. Cherokee spirituality and magic is a part of my personal practice,  however, I don't teach this closed tradition.

​As I continue on my 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, Irene Mabel 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 and, of course, my wyrd poodles. ​​
