Head Mistress of THoT, and THoT: the School of Ritual, Owner of Keven Craft Rituals, and q. Meb ~ Queen Meb the Portland witch shop with handmade skincare products, organic goods, tarot, metaphysical items, home & hearth decor.

She is an Artist with a BFA from Pratt Institute and has an extensive fine Art background in NYC with one of the top Artists in the world working with museums such as the MOMA and Guggenheim as well as living in Berlin, Germany and Venice, Italy. She has worked with magickal and folklore herbalism most of her life, learning local herbs and lore as she travels.

A practicing eclectic-solitary witch, she works with energy healing / reiki master, psychopomp and psychic work, witch attunements; specializing in tarot and channeling since 1995. Erika rides the cusp of the Alpha / Omega and favors the Morrighan, Isis, Hecate, Freya, and Cernunnos. She works closely with Santa Muerte, Baphomet, and Lillith among others.

Her inspiration of ritual comes from many areas, including her family lineage which to the first high kings of Ireland, the father of Queen Maeb, the King of the the Picts, and also connections with the Welsh Lewellyn family, the Scottish McLaughlins, De Forsythe and McCloud clans. She has found roots tying to the Powhatan and Lenape, and Cherokee tribes, as well as Norway and Sweden. Learning about my ancestry I have also found Jewish, German, French, Italian, Spanish and a hint of West African. This eclectic, never ending discovery of self and connection is always bringing new energies and workings into her store and practice. She worked for the Psychic Friends Network while in Brooklyn New York before deciding the ethos of the company wasn't what she was interested in.
