Devra was a nature worshiper from her earliest memory's of mud pies and pet parakeets.

Her connection to nature and spirituality constantly deepened throughout her life. Dev was raised Jewish but left her family tradition to seek a more "equal opportunity religion". In the early 1990's she found Wicca and Paganism, feeling it more closely resembled her personal belief system of honoring the Earth, The  Divine Feminine, nature's cycles, and the unseen spiritual realms. She became a Priestess of the Goddess in the 1990's and began facilitating ritual. As a professional dancer, using her body as the temple for Divine expression is integral to her life. Devra works as a licensed massage therapist. She has been studying and playing West African percussion since 2001, and thrives in the sacred fire circle experience, combining all the things she loves.
