Alison Leigh Lilly

Alison Leigh Lilly was not always a Druid, but she's been a tree-hugging dirt-worshipper for as long as she can remember. She grew up a shy Irish Catholic hippie girl, exploring the woods and fields surrounding her childhood home with the same curiosity and enthusiasm she would later bring to her studies of mysticism and nature spirituality. Seeking the spiritual heritage of her Celtic ancestors, she discovered poetry and story, mud and blood mingled with the scent of peat fires and damp stone.

She now resides in the lovely, thrice-rivered city of Pittsburgh, where she lives on the edge of a wooded park with her partner, her cat, her pet frogs and her houseplants. A member of DOTR and AODA, she devotes her time to cultivating a spiritual life founded on peace, poesis, and attentive engagement with the inner and outer landscapes of wildness, wilderness and nature. She explores these themes through essays, articles and poetry, and her work has appeared in publications such as Stirring, The God Particle and Sky Earth Sea, as well as online at Patheos.com, The Wild Hunt, PaganPages.org and The Witches' Voice. She writes regularly in her blog, Meadowsweet & Myrrh.
