There’s more to Sitara Haye than simply a web-savvy word-witch!  Sitara is also:

- A formally trained High Priestess with over 15 years of experience writing and leading rituals for groups ranging in size from a few to a few hundred.  Included in any ritual booking requests are Sitara’s pre-gathering instruction materials to ensure that everyone (both general participants and cast participants) is ready to enjoy the ritual and prepared to be fully engaged.  A pre-ritual orientation is also held to answer any questions for newcomers to your gathering.  Sitara has written and performed: Sabbats (Greater and Lesser),Esbats (all moon phases), Blessings for all stages of Fertility and Pregnancy, Birth Blessings and Wiccanings, Coming of Age rituals for young women (and assisted with the tandem roles in Coming of Age rituals for young men), Handfastings and Handpartings, Croning/Saging, Requiem and Crossing rituals, Sweat Lodges, Transformative Rites, Sacred Drama, Opening and Closing rituals, and more.  Sitara can tailor-craft rituals to your request based on the theme or needs of your gathering — please ask!

- An accomplished musician, vocalist, drummer, and ecstatic dancer.  Sitara Haye can augment your drum circles with beginning drum classes, workshops on sacred movement, connecting with animals, deities and elements through dance, as well as chant classes.  Chant classes can be conducted on beginning levels (fun basic chanting) as well as more advanced levels (working with harmonies and layering of sound) depending on your preferences/needs.

- An experienced and engaging workshop presenter.  Sitara Haye has been presenting workshops and conducting classes on Craft- and pagan-related topics for nearly 20 years.  She is known for her ability to explain difficult concepts, entertain an audience with her charismatic style, and her sense of humor, but also for her intensity and the seriousness with which she approaches her core subject.  Some of her past workshop topics and titles are:

- A talented medium and spiritual counselor.  Sitara Haye is willing to provide medium and spiritual counseling services to your gathering attendees as part of her services if you book her for an event.  If you have a fundraiser planned for your event, please ask Sitara about donations of her time and talents to raise money for your organization.

- A knowledgeable and entertaining addition to your panel discussions and open forums.  Sitara Haye has a lifelong background in theatre, performance, and debate that enables her to contribute constructively and charismatically to your panels and forums while weaving a continuity of flow with the other panelists.  With her personal background and experience as a Witch in the South, a preacher’s kid, a formally trained priestess, a High Priestess of a Tradition, a mother, an artist, a community leader, and many other facets, Sitara is sure to bring perspective and anecdote, witty-wisdom and humor to the table.

- An experienced leader of children’s education workshops and curricula.  Sitara Haye is a former children’s Religious Education Director (Unitarian Universalist Church) and currently works in the non-profit education sector.  She has written summer curriculum studies for all age groups, focused on both spiritual and environmental themes, and conducted workshops and classes for youth of all ages.  Sitara Haye is also creator of a youth empowerment program that is designed to be used at group events (available soon for purchase on this site).  This program, geared for children and their parents, provides a simple mnemonic tool to assist children in making good choices in potentially dangerous situations.  Sitara Haye recommends you include this workshop on your schedule if you book her for a day long or weekend event (the only cost to you is materials, which are minimal).
