Lawrence Hyde

Lawrence Hyde, MA, has worked in and around the metaphysical, New Age, and pagan scene for nearly 40 years. He and his wife, Neva, teach a variety of classes--Wicca, Psychic Self-Defense, and Reiki at all levels. In April, 2012, he distilled 20 years of providing therapy and 40 years of spiritual practice into "Ready for the Woo-Woo Stuff? A Down-to-Earth Look at the Metaphysical."

He describes himself as suffering from paranomasia--an inveterate love of really horrible puns--and as a "curmudgeon-in-training; I thought I'd avoid the rush at the end."
