About the Author

Welcome! I’m The Root System, a plural person who uses they/them pronouns. Call me Root.

I’m located in Dakota / Anishinaabe territories on the shore of Gichigamiing also known as Duluth, MN.

I was raised Catholic with a Polish folk twist, picked up my first occult book and a set of runes at a crystal shop when I was 15, and my spiritual work has followed that path since. I spent 10 years working in the Reclaiming Tradition co-creating ritual and student-teaching classes on the Elements of Magic, Iron, and Pearl Pentacles.

Since my move to Minnesota in 2018, I’ve been exploring Norse mythology and inclusive heathenry with The Troth and recently began the Bard grade course with the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids (OBOD).

I’m currently attending United Theological Seminary Twin Cities working toward a Master of Divinity in Interreligious Chaplaincy.  

I am also the Gender Stories podcast producer working with the delightful host Alex Iantaffi.
