Experience:
From Molly Hall:
I've had an intuitive seekers way since as far back as I can remember. In my twenties, a spiritual sense of isolation led me into the Western mysteries and the language of the stars, astrology.
My seeking led me to the study of the Sacred Feminine at CIIS-California Institute for Integral Studies in San Francisco. I graduated from the Women's Spirituality M.A. program from the now-closed New College of California.
During my graduate course, I sought knowledge from, and circled in ritual with some of the women's spirituality pioneers like Jalaja Bonheim, Vicki Noble and Starhawk. I also studied shamanism, Tarot and astrology with other teachers in the Bay area.
I was assistant to poet & playwright Genny Lim of San Francisco, in a course on meditation and yoga. I completed my MA with a ritual theatre production. In San Francisco, I led goddess circles and taught classes on Moon magic. I have been doing readings using Tarot and astrology off and on since 1999.
I was a feature writer for the Associated Press, before switching to writing about astrology, first in-house for a book publisher in NYC, and then as a free-lancer.
My passion for astrology evolves, and currently I'm interested in astro-theology, Western origins and living in season. I'm dedicated to keeping it fresh, right here on About.com/Astrology.
My personal website is Wild Bee Grove for information on astrology and Tarot readings.
