About this title

From the Publisher:

Drawing the Three of Coins is a mix of practical suggestions and personal experience from the author's many years of being a Pagan store owner herself. Not only that, there is a large resource section with contact information for wholesalers, distributors, and other sources for unique inventory.

About the Author:

Terri Paajanen has been a practicing Pagan solitary for 12 years. Her own spiritual path is eclectic, but she mainly worships the Deities of ancient Greece.

She has spent years running a small Wiccan store, both online and in the physical world. The experience of being a central part of the local Pagan community has stayed with her and had prompted her to share what she's learned with other Pagans in business.

Terri has been interviewed for Toronto newspapers and television and has hopefully dispelled some of the popular misconceptions about her religion. She also has written full time for About.com on the topics of Wicca and other Pagan religions.

In her spare time, she studies genealogy and her family tree, collects antique typewriters and tries to grow vegetables in the garden. She's currently living in the country near Toronto, with her husband and 3 cats.
