About Silent

About Silent

I am a modern occultist. For 40 years, I have identified as a Pagan and a Witch. My spiritual practice is eclectic, pulling from multiple Pagan and magickal disciplines, including Wicca, Sumerian, Hellenic, and ceremonial magick such as Thelema. They reflect my life's journey and experiences into the larger Natural world.


Magick is spelled with a “k” to differentiate it from stage magic. Magick is a sacred science; like all science, your practices must be ever-evolving, and I am in relentless pursuit of continuous improvement.

I serve as President of Pagan Pride in Washington and work with Pagan churches and interfaith groups worldwide, promoting earth-first religions, gender equality, and economic empowerment for all. I am a priest of Eris.

What I do

As priest, I teach, I guide, I witness but I do not intervene. Professionally, I have 25 years of experience as a C-level executive in multinational businesses, a public board director, and a leader in bringing edge technologies to market. In addition, I am a pioneer in digital payments. As a lifelong technologist, one might ask how I reconcile technology with magick.


Magick follows natural law; it is about changing yourself and the world around you through your will.

Speaking

As a  fusion of Pagan priest and technology executive, I've carved a path in the realms of business and technology.


My journey has led me to the forefront of digital payments and business transformation, culminating in the honor of speaking at the 2019 World Economic Forum.


This experience, among others, highlights my commitment to bridging diverse worlds - from the spiritual to the financial.




My perspectives, detailed on my
Writing & Speaking page, are rooted in a deep understanding of both ancient wisdom and modern business strategies.


Remember, the views I express are purely my own - not absolute truths nor mandates from elusive Secret Chiefs. 😊
