Amie Clark

Founder & Chief Operating Witch (COW), President

Hello Alberta Witches! Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Founder and COW of Alberta Witches Association, and my name is Amie Clark.

My background is Ukrainian, Russian and Romanian, with a touch of English. I was born a witch, and taught tradition and ritual from a very young age. For a large part of my life, I buried most of my beliefs. I found myself in a situation where practice would not have been possible, and certainly not accepted. I identify as a Hekatean Hedge Witch with a strong aptitude for Pharmakeia. Pharmakeia is the practice of plant spirit Witchcraft and Medicine. I am also highly empathic and intuitive. I adore nature, growing things, rocks, crystals, water, mountains, air and all the things! I feel a strong connection to the vibrations of the Universe and the Earth beneath me. I am fascinated by the Moon, and all this journey has to offer me! I am truly blessed to have finally found myself again. I am honored and truly blessed to be a part of this amazing community. My only desire for all of my projects (and there are quite a few, if you know me, or have been a part of AWA for awhile) are to bring us all together, to learn and grow from each other. To feel we have the support of our Brothers and Sisters, included under the “Pagan” umbrella. To have a community we can count on, receive support and safety from, and above all else, to receive and give LOVE. This is why I started AWA, and this is why we are here, for the love of community and to support each other.

Blessings to all, and welcome to our little corner of the Province.

Tara Mannion

President in Training, Co-Secretary

Hello! My name is Tara Mannion. I am your president in training, co-secretary and Web/Social Media circle assist for the 2024/25 year. On top of being a witch, I am a wife and mom. I have 2 beautiful daughters and an amazing husband.

I am very eclectic in my practice, and still learning as I go, like we all are. I mainly have been working with Dragons, Hekate, Hermes, Bast, and most recently Skadi. 

I felt the call to take on a new challenge, so here I am learning to take on the role of your president. I am excited to learn and be here for our community. Merry meet, blessed be, and let’s make our community amazing!

Beginner Witch 101 teacher

Midnyte started her way  on the Twisted Path when she was 8 years old. Taken underwing by her bestfriend’s Kookum. Being Cree, a deep respect and connection to the Earth and the Ancestors was the base of that teaching. From there she was blessed with finding many different teachers from many different paths.The 3 decade journey with all its twists and pitfalls has given her a drive to share knowledge and help others in ways she wishes she had help.  As a domestic abuse and cancer survivor;she has learned the deepest darkest parts of herself and has a passion for social justice. Being autistic, demisexual, having chronic pain and a chronic illness have all given her a unique view of things.

She is proud to craft energy work techniques, divination methods and ways to bring magick into their daily lives. And is happily branching out as a magic educator.

Amy Driedger

Secretary

They/Them
Crone Status, hailing from too many places to name
Shadow Executive Member
Wearer of many Hats (most disguised as toques)
Student of pharmakeia, herbalism, and Our Dark Lady
Ardent Bibliophile (if you know, you know)

If you’re ever out somewhere, and you seem something weird out of the corner of your eye, that’s probably just me.
I am and have always been, a creature of many aspects. I have lived in many places, and moved more times than I would like to count, and have had thee variety of jobs/careers/etc, but like so many, I am an avid learner of all the fascinating things to me. My latest venture is Herbalist and Medicine Mushrooms with some fascinating teachers (who doesn’t want to learn from people Literally named after plants), but if you don’t see me carrying around at least 3 books, did you even look.
I have a very old, and crunchy familiar, who has only the eyes for me, which of course means all the pet demands as well. (cat’s, who’s going to tell them they aren’t in charge)
I can be found in the wild, knitting something I’m sure is confusing me or my nose shoved into a book spine, throwing the click-clack goblin dice or a game with more story than sense.
If I approach, I’m most likely looking to give a helping hand, but Don’t Blink.

Tshanna Lenz

Treasurer

Blessed Be fellow Witches.

My name is Tshanna, and I am proud to be the Treasurer for the Alberta Witches Association. My predecessor was affectionately dubbed the “bean counter,” although I await my formal nickname!

I was adopted at the age of 7 and raised in a Conservative and Christian home, but I always knew that religion was not for me. In my early adulthood, I found witchcraft, Liberalism, feminism, and addiction… I am now officially 10 years substance clean! I have been married twice; once that blessed me with my now teenage child, and a second that resulted in 4 more beautiful children. In 2020, I lost my mother and left my second marriage, and in 2021, I lost my youngest in a devastating house fire… that is when I found the A.W.A. 

The A.W.A. not only supported my grief and loss, but brought me into the true and full version of myself. I met my current husband in 2021, and have been blessed to become the full time step-mother to his child. I carried and delivered a surrogate baby in 2023, and am currently on my second journey. I am a proud and active member and ally of the 2SLGBTQI+ community. I am an active advocate for Domestic Violence Victims in my volunteer work with Family Court, where I hold Coaching Certifications in Communications, Divorce, Relationships, Life and Matchmaking. I also hold a Certification in Death Doula services, which I offer free to any parents experiencing the loss of a child. After several chronic illness diagnoses came to light in 2024, I was finally able (forced?) to slow down a bit, and have since been blessed to be involved in the A.W.A. as the Treasurer.

I am a dark Witch. My personal practice does not follow any religious or structured path. I do not worship any gods or pantheons; I only believe in three things: Karma, the Earth and Myself. I am definitely eclectic, however I am selectively solitary, and draw inspiration from all sects of paganism, specifically kitchen witchery, green witchery, and herbalism. Baneful magic, balance and protection, cuttings, necromancy, divination, curses, hexes… that is where you can find me 🖤

Blessed Morrow,

Tshanna
