About the author
Oberon Zell (born Timothy Zell, November 30, 1942; formerly known as Otter G'Zell and Oberon Zell-Ravenheart) is a Neopagan writer, speaker and religious leader. He is the co-founder of the Church of All Worlds. == Education == Born on November 30, 1942, in St. Louis, Missouri, Zell earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, in 1965 before briefly enrolling in a doctoral program in clinical psychology at Washington University in St. Louis. He also received a Doctor of Divinity degree from Life Science College in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, (a defunct nonresidential seminary) in 1967. In 1968, he completed a teaching certificate at Harris–Stowe State University. His parents were Protestants. == Neopaganism == In an interview with Natalie Zaman in 2008, Zell described himself as a Wizard. Distinguishing his practice from the wizards of fiction, Zell used the alternative spelling magick (with final "k") and claimed that his interest therein began at an early age with the reading of Greek myths and fairy tales. As a child, Zell had visions, which his mother told him were derived from the life of his grandfather.
