Psyche, Ontario, 1998

My name is Nico, but for the past twelve years I’ve been better known online as Psyche. I live and work in Toronto, Canada, with my husband, two cats and a newt.

I’ve worked on or for various websites since 1996. In addition to SpiralNature.com, I also run the occult blog Plutonica.net, a tarot consultation website PsycheTarot.com, and I maintain Dmoz.org’s section on Chaos Magick, where I’ve been category editor since May 2001.

Writing

I write freelance articles and media reviews, and have been published in Konton, The Cauldron, newWitch, Moonlit Muse and The Blessed Bee, and was previously a columnist for Suite101.com’s Paganism/Wicca section (2006). Presently I am the Origins columnist for Tarot World Magazine, whose debut issue hit magazine stands January 2008, and Manifesting Prosperity: A Wealth Magic Anthology was published in February 2008, which contains my essay “Strategic Magick”.

Lecturing

I lecture on a variety of esoteric subjects, both privately and at festivals such as Kaleidoscope Gathering (2006), Toronto Pagan Pride Day (2007), and the Hamilton Harvest Festival (2007-2008), where I’ve lectured on chaos magick, divination, and tarot.

The Wizzard

Wizzard and Psyche, in Washington, D.C., 2008

I married Drew, or The Wizzard, in August 2001.

His insanity helps keep me sane (more or less).
