{"id":262,"name":"Christina Young","url":"https:\/\/www.persephonesherbal.com\/subscription-boxes\/","description":"My name is Christina, 34, mom of soon to be 2 kiddos (2nd born arriving around Imbolc 2020), and an off and on practicing pagan since I was about 12. My fields of interest along the path are ancestral based along with herbalism, folklore, shamanism, and nature's cycles.\u00a0 I'm not really a caster of any kind but focus on honoring the circle of life and the wheel of the year. I dabble with tarot and oracle cards but definitely not proficient in them.\u00a0 My focus is on herbs.\u00a0 This is part of the reason my husband and I own an herbal company that focuses on educating and supplying people about the herbs around them.\u00a0 We focus on the mundane instead of the magickal among our subscription boxes and our general view of the business.\u00a0 We're trying to expand into a few different directions in 2020 but our main focus is always herbal education.\u00a0 I've always felt that even for your magickal uses to work properly and safely you must understand the mundane properties and uses of herbs to get the full spectrum of their capabilities in your workings.\u00a0 \r\nWhen it comes to the ancestral side of things - I focus primarily on Slavic and Scottish-Celtic studies. I dabble with a Native American path because I was raised around Natives and now married to a man who's half Native.\u00a0 I might not use their path in my own 100% but I love to be educated about things so I can pass the information onto our children later.","link":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/author\/christina-young\/","slug":"christina-young","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b0474e4b7e72d80b3de8edc7bcbdcbb101a31c0cafb68cf6bc8c9339d6fda758?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b0474e4b7e72d80b3de8edc7bcbdcbb101a31c0cafb68cf6bc8c9339d6fda758?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b0474e4b7e72d80b3de8edc7bcbdcbb101a31c0cafb68cf6bc8c9339d6fda758?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"acf":[],"elementor_introduction":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
