Raven's background includes training in the Rosicrucian Order as well as the study of the Kabbalah through the First Temple of Tifareth under Lady Sara Cunningham.

Today Raven is the directing Elder of the tradition of Aridian Witchcraft, and together with his wife Stephanie Taylor he is developing a complete teaching system known as Ash, Birch and Willow. This system is the culmination of over 35 years of study and practice in the magical and spiritual traditions of the indigenous people of pre-Christian Europe.

Stephanie Taylor has been a Witch at heart for all of her life, and a tarot reader and spiritual counselor for over fifteen years. A Third Degree initiate of both the Italian Witchcraft Tradition and in the Irish Celtic Wiccan Tradition, she is also a minister of the First Celtic Wiccan Church.

Currently a teacher and co-director of the College of the Crossroads, a Mystery School dedicated to preserving and passing on the Old Ways, Stephanie makes her home in southern California with her partner, scholar and writer Raven Grimassi.

<i>A Traveler's Guide to the Well Worn Path</i> is her first book.

Mickie Mueller (Missouri) follows an earth-based spiritual path, and is a Pagan spiritual artist. Her work is a combination of colored pencil and acrylic wash that is magically infused with herbs corresponding with the subject she is portraying. Mueller's spiritual artwork has appeared internationally on magazine covers and can be seen on her online art galleries.

A Reiki Master and teacher in the Usui Shiki Royoho Tradition, she also enjoys writing and speaking on many topics of art and magic. Mueller is a member of Greenwood Circle, a women's Natural Magic circle in the St. Louis area, and M.A.F.I.A., a group of Midwest fantasy/sci fi artists. She received the "Best Fantasy Artist" award at the 2006 ShowMeCon.

She is the illustrator of The Well Worn Path divinational deck created by authors Raven Grimassi and Stephanie Taylor.

Although there are many divination decks that are designed for Pagans, they still tend to rely on the symbolism of the Kabalah or other spiritual systems. Now that changes forever! Grimassi and Taylor, with artist Mickie Mueller, have created a divination deck for Pagans, Witches, and Wiccans.

Because this is not just another Tarot, a special full-sized book is included with the deck. It shows how each of the deck's forty cards tell part of a story that reveals the meaning and symbolism of the cards. This makes learning them easy! You'll also discover the divinatory meaning of each card. The spreads described in the book are also Pagan oriented, and are focused around the images of a cauldron, a crossroads, and a pentagram.

The Well Worn Path is also far more than just a divination deck. The book includes instructions for how to perform Solitary Pagan rituals. The only tools you need are the cards of the deck. You can literally perform a ritual anywhere, anytime, with nothing more than these cards.

The book also reveals the Pagan spiritual teaching of each card, making this the first deck that can be used as a set of "flash cards" for learning Pagan spirituality and traditions.

These cards, with the book, are a complete system. But unlike other decks, it is also an expandable system. You can add their second deck, The Hidden Path, to this deck, using them together or individually. A must for all Pagans.
