LUAN
International Coordinator
luan.meades@ntlworld.com

Luan is originally from Zimbabwe where she lived until the age of 18. She lived on a farm and learnt at a very young age how to be at one with the environment. She then moved to England to study and now live in Portsmouth, England. She shares her life with her husband and soul mate and her 1 year old daughter. She have always been very close to nature and I felt the Wicca fitted perfectly into my life. She is now at the stage in my journey where she would like to help others along their own path. She has joined The Firefly Academy Board to help build a stronger community and to help all the students in different countries to celebrate the correct Sabats and to meet-up if they are close enough to each other.

Among her interests are runes and beading, as she makes beautiful necklaces for those who impact her life. LaVada picked up tarot when she began taking classes here, and this is one of her many strengths. She currently lives in Northern Virginia.

KIMMIE
Administrative Assistant
KCopeland@fireflyacademy.org

Kimmie is in the process of relocating from Florida to Scotland. She rededicated herself to the Christian path on 12/5/2008. She views herself as a very open and laid back Christian. Christian Witchcraft combines the teachings of Jesus, the work of the Bible, and the Holy Father with the practice of witchcraft. Many Christian witches go further to use the ritual and dogma of Wicca to shape their practice. Church and fellowship can be done anywhere and at anytime. She is very interested in the life and history of Jesus, Angels, Demons and Satan to name a few.

Along with being the delegate to the Firefly Christian Withcraft community, Kimmie is very involved in student activities, and is the Teacher Assistant for Wicca 1.
