Fiona Duncan, BFA, MA, MSed
Professional Background
Fiona Duncan brings a rich academic foundation to her spiritual practice, holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts, a Master of Arts in Teaching, and a Master of Science in Education. She is New York State certified in both Art and Special Education for grades K-12, and spent years as a dedicated public school teacher and college Graphic Design instructor and department chair. Her professional expertise encompasses student relations, innovative teaching methodologies, and comprehensive curriculum development.
Spiritual Practice & Philosophy
As a seasoned Practical Magician, Reiki Master, and practicing Eclectic Witch with over 40 years of experience, Fiona approaches witchcraft with both reverence and pragmatism. Rather than being drawn to superficial "witchy woo," she practices and teaches magick and witchcraft as an empowering spiritual path that honors nature and energy work as both art and science in equal measure.
Cultural Heritage & Early Influences
Celtic by nature and Italian by nurture, Fiona's journey as a lifelong witch began in childhood when her immigrant grandparents introduced her to Italian Folk Magick. Her early exploration included Neopagan Celtic Wicca and the traditional Italian folk practices passed down by her "Grandma Lusolina," who was born in a small Italian village in the 1890s.
Development of Eclectic Practice
Through four decades of engaging with covens of various lineages, conducting graduate-level research, and studying the works of notable witches and magicians, Fiona has developed her distinctive, highly fluid style of Eclectic Witchcraft. She continually applies her academic expertise to research and deepen her sacred path, while actively collaborating with fellow practitioners in her ongoing quest for knowledge and practical experience.
Teaching & Mentorship
Fiona serves as a trusted guide for aspiring witches seeking to transform their lives from ordinary to extraordinary through the spiritual and esoteric practices of Eclectic Witchcraft. Since 2019, her comprehensive courses, personalized one-on-one coaching, mentoring programs, and spiritual life coaching have empowered more than 2,000 students to craft their own distinctive spiritual and magickal paths.
Through her guidance, students learn to live the empowered, spirit-led, and genuinely successful lives they've always envisioned—blending ancient wisdom with modern practicality to create meaningful, transformative change in their daily experience.

Rhonda Alin, BS
"When you first encounter the cards, the images are meant to draw you in. Messages are understood long before you discern how to translate them back into words. They’re designed to touch something on an intuitive level. That is the main way they communicate with us. Of course, we all see the “little white book” that comes with most every tarot deck, and our intellectual brain tells us we need to know the definition for each card. But that’s only part of the story. Allow me to teach you the rest."
~Rhonda Alin
Rhonda Alin is a Witch, Priestess, Tarot Reader, and founder of Northern New Jersey Tarot.
She purchased her first deck of divination cards at age 12 and fell in love with both the imagery and the messages she found in them. Over time, her focus shifted toward Tarot, and she began her formal study of the cards more than 20 years ago. While she is adept at and practices several forms of divination including crystal ball scrying, charm casting and pendulum reading, cartomancy is her love.
Rhonda is a professional Tarot Card reader and instructor. She is also the founder of Northern New Jersey Tarot, a cartomancy study group that welcomes all levels of Tarot learners, and features workshops with notable guest instructors and authors of Tarot. Rhonda continues her own Tarot studies with some of the most respected and accomplished readers, authors and deck designers in the Tarot community.
Rhonda currently offers private, in-person and virtual readings, and is sought-after to read at corporate and private events. She also regularly attends and presents at annual international Tarot conferences. She is also a contributing author in 'Scorpio Witch', part of Llewellyn's 'The Witch's Sun Sun' book series.
