Ash nicSidhe is an Elder High Priestess in the New England Covens of Traditionalist Witches (NECTW), a lineage passed down through Lady Gwynne Thompson. Since 2013, she has served as co-Priestess within Nemed Cuculatii, assisting Raven, the Lady of Nemed Cuculatii, in guiding and teaching. Ash is an initiate of several Craft traditions, including Georgian, Gardnerian, StarBorn, NYWT, NROOGD, and the Glencoran Order. Her magical and metaphysical interests are wide-ranging, reflecting decades of study and practice. She has also written on these subjects for publication since the 1970s, contributing to the ongoing dialogue within the Craft. Ash and Raven have shared a partnership for more than forty years, weaving tradition, teaching, and community together.
