About Loren LaLuna
Scottish by blood.
Seeker by nature.
Teacher by calling.
Rooted in the mystery traditions of the West, my work weaves together Hermeticism, astrology, tarot, Qabalah, witchcraft and animism. I honour the old ways while walking a very modern path.
I grew up where the second sight was spoken of plainly, the way weather is spoken of. Later I went looking for where those old Scottish habits of seeing meet the written tradition of the West, and I have been following that seam ever since.
