About the author
Lucya Starza is a British Pagan author whose books, mostly published in Moon Books' Pagan Portals series, cover divination, seasonal practice and everyday magic. Pagan Portals - Scrying: Divination Using Crystals, Mirrors, Water and Fire and the forthcoming Pagan Portals - Dowsing both address specific divinatory methods, while Pagan Portals - Rounding the Wheel of the Year and Every Day Magic - A Pagan Book of Days set out ways to mark the Pagan calendar through folklore, herb lore, crafts and daily ritual. Pagan Portals - Guided Visualisations addresses meditative and visualisation techniques for self-knowledge and problem-solving. Starza has also written fiction, including Erosion: Of Friendship, Dreams and the Edge of a Cliff, a gothic novel set on the English coast during the Great Storm of 1987. Her nonfiction is consistently practical and introductory in scope, aimed at Pagan practitioners looking for accessible, focused guides to specific techniques and seasonal observances.
