​​The Wild Blackthorn

Lady Teara, High Priestess of the Earth Mother’s Child Church of Wicca and Founder of the Jolean Tradition in the early 1980s.

 

Lady Teara was a passionate and outspoken presence in Pagan communities across California, Washington State, and later Florida.

​

A devoted teacher, ritualist, and cherished friend, she poured her heart and dedication into guiding her students with unwavering commitment. Gifted in many artistic forms—sculpture, drawing, painting, stained glass, music, and poetry—her creative spirit enriched all who knew her.

​

After a courageous five-year battle with lymphoma, Lady Teara crossed the veil in 2004. She now reigns among the honored ancestors of our Tradition, her light forever shining within us.

​

Be Blessed, Lady Teara. You are deeply missed.
