Scarecrow helped found both StarMist Cuveen and Nemed Cuculatii, serving as Summoner in each. He was also a key figure in the Inis Glas Hedge School, an online Celtic Recontuction (CR) forum on the GEnie platform, which he co-founded with Erynn Darkstar. As an Elder High Priest in NECTW and an initiate of multiple Craft Traditions, his spiritual work bridges Witchcraft, Wicca, Druidry, and Reconstructionist paths. He and Erynn provided the first widely available English rendering and commentary on the Irish text known as “Cauldron of Poesy” to the wider magical community in 1992. 

He’s a Mt Haemus Scholar with OBOD, a former Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America, and a Martial Arts instructor. His formal education includes a BA in Turkish and Anthropology, with a minor in Natural Sciences, earned from Regents College (now Excelsior).

His hobbies include historical research, Victorian photography, amateur radio, and sharing curiosities with friends. He tends garden beds and spends time with his large Pyredoodle—living close to the land, with a touch of whimsy.
