Ocean is the creator & manager of this blog. Born deaf into an all-hearing family, she was raised oral and attended hearing schools. Ocean began learning sign language at the ripe old age of 16, and after meeting a Deaf man began her own journey through Deafhood. She graduated from Gallaudet College (now University), and has held positions both within & outside of the field of Deaf Services.
Ocean has been a practicing Pagan for 30 years, and considers herself "an eclectic witch," with a primary focus on Celtic Spirituality, but an interest in many different areas. A skilled tarot reader, she once donated her services to help raise funds for a Domestic Violence agency. She has also done workshops on aromatherapy, herbalism, & Paganism for the Deaf Community.
As a passionate advocate, Ocean often speaks out on the need for greater access for Deaf people (Pagan or otherwise) - interpreters, captioned videos, CART, etc...and works to build bridges between the Deaf & Hearing communities.
She lives not far from her hometown on the banks of the Ohio River with her two cats, Karma & Gandalf.

This sculpture shows the sign for "connect"...and that is what Deaf Pagan Crossroads is all about - making connections. Connections between Deafhood and Paganism, connections between the Deaf Community and the Hearing Community, connections between myself as the writer and you as the reader. I hope you will take the time to read my various posts, some of which are listed below. Welcome to the Crossroads, and I hope you make some connections here!

“What kind of pie would you like, dear Mr. Squirrell?
No! Let me guess!
Pecan?”
Hope your Thanksgiving was a blessed one.

That Little Squirrel is sooo Cute! Thanks for the pic!
I suspect he was hoping to get a slice of my Buttermilk Nut Pie, which does have pecans in it…along with walnuts – you can find the recipe for such here at the Crossroads under the Food category.
I guess my pie is becoming famous in the squirrel community, judging from the pics of all the begging squirrels who come running whenever I mention “pie” in one of my posts… especially if it has nuts in it!
oooooh i cant believe i ate the whole thing yummmm but it was gooood
Pretty little squirrel… ugh, I ate tooooo much turkey!
Cute picture. He may be grateful that nobody kills him for Thanksgiving. Jehanne did a cool vegetarian prayer. See http://www.jehanne.wordpress.com. We should follow her steps.
Thanks for pointing me to this prayer, Julie.
I agree, it’s a really cool prayer that focuses on what we should really be thankful for – Mother Nature and all her creatures.
I encourage everyone to go check out this prayer… it is still meaningful, even though Thanksgiving is over.
Here is my interpretation of Jehanne’s prayer – I don’t know if she is Pagan, but I don’t think she would mind my giving it a bit of a “Goddess Spirituality” slant to it…
“She creates the world…how awesome!
I see birds flying in the distance and I am inspired…
Thank you, Precious Mother.
Fish swimming in the water…thank you.
Deer running in the wind
Squirrels climbing up the trees
Rabbits hopping on the ground
Thank you for all the creatures.
Keep them there and safe…
And not on our dinner table.”
