    Zehara

    Zehara is a practitioner of Ceremonial Magick and a dedicated student of the New Orleans Voodoo tradition. As a Snake Priestess, she honors the ancient reverence for serpents that permeates mystical traditions across the globe—from the oracles of Delphi to the priestesses of Minoan culture, and from the awakenings of Kundalini to the serpent deities of antiquity. Zehara engages deeply with these liminal beings, perceiving them as guardians of wisdom, mediators between realms, and embodiments of divine feminine energy. Through her rituals, meditative practices, and communion with these sacred entities, she channels their power, guiding seekers on their journeys toward personal growth and spiritual enlightenment. An initiate of the Temple
    of the Seekers, Zehara has committed her life to revealing the concealed truths of the Serpent and the Goddess. She has conducted workshops throughout the United States, focusing on serpentine mythology, magickal intuition, and spirit communication, empowering students to uncover their own inner mysteries through the insights of the snake. Furthermore, she is a skilled facilitator of ecstatic dance and trance workshops, where she integrates movement with spiritual exploration, reflecting the fluid rhythm of the serpent to foster holistic development and a deeper connection to the divine. As a prolific author, Zehara disseminates her knowledge through various publications, including her monthly articles in Witch Way Magazine and her books, such as Grave Spirits, Snake & Bones Book of Shadows, Eternal Coil, and Snake Charming. Her writings delve into the intersections of mysticism, the occult, and the sacred significance of the Serpent within spiritual traditions. With steadfast commitment to the wisdom of the Serpent, Zehara remains a guiding light for those who aspire to embrace the journey of transformation, empowerment, and the timeless dance of the sacred coil.
