Astarte is also a Workshop Facilitator, Metaphysics Teacher, Healer, Craft Practicioner, Totemist, Shaman & Reiki Practitioner.

A devotee of the Goddess Kuan Yin, and a Priestess of the Craft of the Wise.

Astarte has also been initiated into the waters of women's ceremony. Taken through corroboree and birthing rituals, which connected her even deeper to the land of her birth, through these Indigenous rituals.

Astarte has learnt a lot about the bush, its medicine, bush tucker, and completed a bush regeneration course in 1999 and finds joy in passing on this knowledge.


An avid photographer since completing her TAFE photography course at 17, she has worked in the advertising, fashion, building and real estate industries as well as local government. A series of accidents and illnesses changed her life dramatically, which led her to slow down in this time she worked closer to Nature.  She became a professional pigeon fancier and breeder, racing pigeons across Australia, a rabbit & guinea pig breeder, and started an active environmental group called Rainbow Dragon.

In 2000 she moved her life to the East coast of the USA, where she lived and worked for four investment companies as well as being a  director of three of her own.

Having beaten and conquered a terminal brain disease, after being very unwell for 7 years, today she runs the largest pagan ebay store in Australia and the World.

Relocating from Sydney in September 2010 for a quieter rural life, to live with her wonderful life partner Mark Hill, she feels blessed to have met such a truly special man, to lovingly journey with her through the mysteries, and old age hand in hand.

Together they have creatively set up the temple space, the store and a media production company on a beautiful 100 acre farm, which they lovingly refer to as "Paradise".

Astarte has been studying the metaphysical arts since she was 16, she was raised a Catholic, and attended a private girls college in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.

Discovering the Goddess in her early 30's, led her to discover the Craft of the Wise, The Old Ways, and now Traditional Paganism is her practice which survives with its roots firmly in the sacred landscape of its ancestors.

Though terrified at first due to her upbringing, words like "pagan" and "witch" scared her and went completely against what she had been taught, she was still drawn to this Nature based journey, and the seasonal growth of both our inner and outer (Nature) worlds, as Nature had been her friend for as long as she could remember.

Very soon she realised there was nothing to fear as it was a beautiful path of spirituality, that had way too much bad press, and people like herself were just uneducated about the truth,  after all we definitely fear what we don't know.
