This site is really just a placeholder for my domain. I have sub-domains off it. My projects usually have their own domains.
About Vin
Clergy – Crafter – Maker – REALTOR® – Entrepreneur
I live in Western Massachusetts with my husband (40+ years) and our two pups. We have a little homestead with some land, a couple barns, a brook, and a pond. Our pond and land is home to turtles, fish, green egrets, a great blue heron, peepers, and a family of river otters.
I’ve learned some very important lessons about life over the past couple years – You owe it to yourself to remove toxic people from your life. You owe them nothing.
I am Sicilian/Italian-American and have briefly lived in Ortigia Sicily and traveled to 26 different countries including Sicily, Italy, Spain, Singapore, HongKong, The Netherlands, Turkey, and the Olympics in Greece.
I am legally recognized clergy and my credentials are on file with the Secretary of State for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I received my original ordination in 1987.
In 1993, I had the honor to be a representative to and participate in the 100th anniversary of the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago where the Dalai Lama was the guest of honor. I have served on the national and local boards of various religious organizations/churches and been active in numerous interfaith endeavors.
I have studied numerous religious traditions and am an elder is several including La Vecchia Religione (a syncretic, contemporary, tradition of Sicilian/Italian-American religious practices incorporating aspects of the vernacular religious, cultural, and folk practices of the common peoples) and the Chthonioi-Alexandrian Tradition of Wicca among others.
I am a Wonder Woman and Gilmore Girls fan.
