About Me
I am Mackenzie 'Sage' Wright, known in my
spiritual writings as Sage.
I am humbled that you are interested in
what I have to say, and that you want
to know more about me. Here I am, in a nutshell:
The Many Colors of Me:
I am an artist-- a creative soul who revels in making things and
expressing myself through art. I paint, sculpt, scrapbook, take
photos, sew, write-- basically, if it's a way to express myself, I'm
willing to go for it!
I am a freelance writer by trade. My spiritual articles are just the tip of the
iceberg, actually. I mostly ghostwrite for clients, but I have been published in
many non-religious magazines, websites and books. I offer all of my spiritual
writings about Wicca, Paganism and Witchcraft for free, though I do make a
modest fee from them due to selling ad space and sales that come through
my pages. The more my spiritual writings earn, the more time I am able to
devote to them.
I have a degree in English Literature and a minor in Education. I have taught
in both traditional and nontraditional venues. I consider myself both a
teacher and a student, however, as learning is a major part of life to me.
In true Wiccan fashion, I am a nature lover. I enjoy being out in nature and
am endlessly in awe of its beauty and power. I love to garden, particularly
herb gardening in containers on my big screen porch. I love using herbs for
a multitude of reasons. I like hiking and camping (when I am up to it) and
can spend hours hypnotized by a burning fire, a setting sun, or buzzing bee.
I am married to my best friend and lover. He is also Pagan and we've been
together over 20 years, since we met at an Ostara festival in New York City.
Yes, I'll admit it: I cast a love spell to help me find a compatible mate-- and it
worked better than expected. We lived together for a few years, then were
handfasted in 1999 and I am delighted that we are still going strong-- we
just had a second honeymoon and are still very much in love.
I am a momma bear to my three cubs, who are the lights of my life. My
daughter and oldest (who I refer to online as 'Wildflower') is Wiccan and in
her 20's. My two boys ('Gryphon Cub' and 'Baby Bear') are in their teens
now. The three of them were homeschooled (or are still in the process). I
also have a furbaby-- Ben -- who is a mostly black, medium-sized mutt. I
believe Ben is a Pagan dog since he loves to join my solitary rituals.
I am living with sarcoidosis, a rare auto-immune disease. It's basically a
genetic condition. My immune system is so aggressive that it will attack the
healthy tissue anywhere in my body. This can be dangerous over time
because it creates scar tissue & causes organ damage. Awareness is
very important to me. This has created a new phase in my life-- I went from
being very physically active out in the Pagan community to having more of
an online/social media presence; it was my isolation, due to my disease
complications that made me more homebound, that encouraged me to
start writing about Wicca, get a Facebook page, start blogging, etc.
Last, but not least, I am a Wiccan Witch. I have been for about 25 years
now, longer if you include the year or two I spent learning about them. When
I first began on this path, there was no internet, but I was lucky enough
to find a local community. I was initiated into an eclectic coven, but at 2nd
degree became an inactive member due to having to move across country
with my mate for his job. The tradition still survives, but my particular coven
branch was disbanded years ago. Still, I follow the same trad in which I
was initiated and trained.
Now, please, do tell me about you... also feel free to advertise your own personal blog or website in the comments here.
