Judy Harrow<\/a>, Wiccan priestess and teacher, has been honored by having Cherry Hill Seminary’s<\/a> online library named for her.<\/p>\n

Don’t go looking for the libary yet–it is under construction. And it will be entirely digital, since Cherry Hill offers primarily online classes.<\/p>\n

CHS blurbs thusly:<\/p>\n

A Wiccan priestess since 1977, Harrow founded Proteus Coven in 1981, and held several leadership offices for Covenant of the Goddess, on both national and regional levels, including National First Officer in 1984. She founded the Pagan Pastoral Counseling Network in 1982, and served as the first editor of the Network’s publication. Harrow co-created a successful workshop series, “Basic Counseling Skills for Coven Leaders,” which grew into a series of intensive workshops for Pagan elders on a range of topics. She also founded the New York Area Coven Leaders’ Peer Support Group, and served as Program Coordinator for the first Mid-Atlantic Pan-Pagan Conference and Festival, as well as several other Pagan gatherings.<\/em><\/p>\n

I would add that Judy has been preaching about the need for professional counseling education for coven leaders as long as I have known her, and she followed her own advice.<\/p>\n

She is also the author or editrix of Spiritual Mentoring: A Pagan Guide<\/a>\"\", Devoted To You: Honoring Deity in Wiccan Practice<\/a>\"\"<\/em>, and Wicca Covens: How to Start and Organize Your Own<\/a>\"\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

One bit of bibilographic essay writing missing from that list is her contributions to the 50th anniversary edition of Gerald Gardner’s Witchcraft Today<\/a>\"\"<\/em>. Since we are still waiting for a scholarly biography of Gardner, her two essays included in that edition, “Looking Backward: Gardner’s Sources” and “Looking Forward: Gardner’s Hunches,” should be read by everyone studying Wiccan history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
