I am a Dionysiac witch: queer, radical, hedonistic, ecstatic. I am a madman exploring the spiritual wilderness with a machete in one hand and a jug of too-young wine in the other.
I am an independent artist living and working in Kansas City, where I make magical jewelry in my home studio. I am the author of a novel and two novellas. Whenever I can force the laws of space-time to yield, I am a photographer and visual artist interested in myth, ritual, and identity. Somewhere along the way, I picked up a Bachelor’s Degree in Classical Studies, and a habit of giving the Evil Eye to anyone who can’t seriously evaluate their sources.
I live with my partner Aradia and our petulant overlords: a pair of extremely spoiled but loving house cats.
Sometimes this blog gets political. Sometimes the art gets sexually graphic. Sorry not sorry.
You can find all my other work via my main site jsgroves.com
You can find my jewelry at my Etsy store, the Sorcerer’s Workbench.
You can find more about my fiction via mundusoccultus.com
You can support my work by buying my novellas on amazon , at Lulu, or directly from me.
And you can guarantee that there will be more of all of it by supporting me on patreon.
Ahhh a fellow NaNoWriMo writer! No matter how many times I try, I never manage to reach the 50k mark…and always end up with some crazy excuse for it.
It helped that I was unemployed and had not yet started school. ;/
I must agree with your post about transgression / queer/ empty model. I too am drawn to Dionysos, and to Pan, Cernunos, and a few others whose names may or may not equal the same consciousness… I too yearn for a truly Queer witchcraft and Deity (ies) who lead me deeper into myself as much as they lead me out of an internal / external morass. I have wriited you before Re: Dionysos, but have been busy and much distracted since then, as I know you have. I live in Springfield, MO., but I could make the drive to KC to meet and discuss.

Yours, Christopher Berry
