Pagan Clergy
Mari Elm
Located in: Van Buren, Arkansas
Clergy Profile: I've achieved ordination through the Unity Church of Wicca. Because I am located on the Western Arkansas-Eastern Oklahoma border, I can be available for both areas.
Although I am trained and available for religious counseling, I am not qualified nor certified for psychological (AKA "pastoral") counseling.
I can perform legal handfasting/ marriage, passing rituals, and other life-event rituals.
I 'm fortunate in having an associate in the Van Buren area, Owlkeeper, with whom I collaborate. He is available to help out as a second minister, or as a stand-in if an emergency prevents me from serving. And isn't it nice to have a choice of clergy from which to choose!
Having witnessed the discomfort of Wiccan and other pagan friends and family members forced to have major life event rituals officiated outside their belief system, I realized there is a great need in our growing and yet scattered community for clergy legally qualified to perform our life event rituals. I decided I’d do what I could to help, and was fortunate to be accepted into the Wiccan Clergy Association/Unity Church of Wicca's ordination program.
I was initiated into a reformed traditional coven established to train Wiccan teachers, and learned a great deal and experienced much growth during my years with that group. I've since left that group and helped form another. In it and in my personal ministry, I work with a limited number of carefully screened, community leadership candidate students, both teaching and learning from them.
Please contact me by email.
Namaste,
Mari
