Deanne Quarrie, D. Min., HPS

While given the name Deanne at birth, Deanne is known as Bendis, Fierce Huntress of the Two Spears, within the her community. Her work as a priestess began in the eighties and has been dedicated to helping women toward self-empowerment and in sharing with them the ecstasy of our Dance with Spirit. Her contributions have been devoted towards weaving webs across boundaries and continents, networking and pointing seekers far and wide, serving as moderator for many e-groups, serving as both peacekeeper and technical advisor for thousands of women as they grew in Spirit. She loves being in service and promotes learning through diversity–a life-long passion for her.

Bendis decided to take all that she had learned from the Traditions she studied in and created her version of the Faerie Faith Tradition.  We are feminists and know that the energy of a Mother is important  in today’s world.

Bendis’s passion for the Ogham and the Mysteries they hold as well as the Runes, led her deeper into her own personal path of both Druidism and Seidr. There is no “one way” and so, Bendis brings her own unique perspective to living life.

She has published six books and her works include Dancing with Goddess, From the Branch–The Ogham for Spiritual Growth, Her Breath, Annym Billagh: Healing with the Tree Ogham, Ogham Twigs and the Seeker’s Guide.

Bendis is the founder of The Apple Branch offering mentoring programs for those who wish to be of service in their communities. In 2002, Deanne founded and runs the organization, Global Goddess, an online community of women who are committed to social/eco justice and published the Global Goddess Oracle, an online magazine for women, no longer an active publication. She is also a Keybearer in the Covenant of Hekate and Priestess Hierophant in the Fellowship of Isis.

Really, I am a crazy old woman with pink hair and a vibrant love for life. Living my life with Spirit filled joy has helped me recapture the imagination and play of my girlhood. If I can say one thing to you it would be,

“Be all that you can be. Open yourself to the divine soul that you are and walk hand in hand with Her. Dance with Her. Make love with Her. Embody Her, Write poetry and sing Her Many Names.”
