Laura Tempest Zakroff is an artist, author, performer, and Witch. She lives in Rhode Island with her partner, musician Nathaniel Johnstone – with whom they have several music projects (including The Mechanist & The Star Goddess) and other collaborative projects.  They have approximately four cats.

A practicing Modern Traditional Witch for over 2 decades, her early days were defined by being a community leader and public spokesperson for Paganism. Laura was the Associate Editor of Crescent Magazine, A Pagan Publication of Art, Philosophy, and Belief from 1998-2004, founder of the Cauldron of Annwyn Pagan Society in New England, and the youngest attendee of the Pagan Leaders Summit in Bloomington, IN in 2001. After nearly a decade-long hiatus from being publicly active, Laura began to get involved again in 2014 – and now can be found teaching, performing, and participating at numerous events and festivals all over.
