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 nearly 40 years, and is an ordained High Priestess of the Wiccan tradition. She 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.
Currently Ocean is offering presentations where she discusses the merger of her spirituality as a Pagan with her identity as a Deaf woman, and also teaches workshops on Signs for Pagan Spirituality. Please contact her if you would be interested in sponsoring such a presentation or workshop.
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 on the banks of the Ohio River with a grumpy feline wizard named Gandalf, and is currently working on a book discussing the merger of her identity as a Deaf person with her spirituality as a Pagan.

Deaf Pagan Crossroads is a blog, operated by one individual - Ocean. It is not an on-line coven or community. While I do have limited knowledge of and contact with other Deaf/ASL Pagans around the country, I am not aware of any Deaf covens. I'm happy to share what information I may have, but I may not have the answers you are seeking. I encourage readers to do their own research and find their own answers whenever possible.
Those who wish to contact me privately may do so by sending an email to
oshginva@gmail.com
Please be aware that it may take me a few days to respond, depending on my time and priorities.
Thank you!

” Awwww, geez…do I hafta put these stupid things on again???”

This deaf falcon hates wearing a hearing aid…. LOL!!! Thanks for a really good laugh!!!
Heh, I bet it was orchestrated! The HA wearer/owner turns up the volume and puts it on the post. The sound feedback attracts this bird. Voila…a great photo opportunity! 😀
I would think the screeching high-pitched feedback sound of a hearing aid would drive the birds away, not attract them!
On the other hand, maybe he thought it was a squeaky mouse…
Hey, wait! If this is a deaf bird, how could it hear the sound feedback in the first place?
😉
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Oh no it is a whistling hearing aid!!!
(Laughing) That is a “Caption this picture” contest waiting to happen!
Hilarious! AGB’s association (AGBAD) would love it and would, for definite, award a photographer as the BEST PICTURE of the Year and would have published it in the “National Geographic Society Magazine”!
“Is that a hoo I hear?”
Maybe it mistook the screech of feedback for a mating call.
[…] This Picture Go check out this photo on Deaf Pagan Crossroad. It is not everyday you see a bird with a hearing aid. The author is […]
“Anybody got a spare battery?”
Oh boy, oh boy a mouse… dagnabbit, not another hearing aide!
Philosophical Question: If a falcon takes a hearing aid and no one is around, will it make a sound?
Best I could do on spur of the moment.
LOL. Hungry bird got a wrong worm!
I like the spare battery comment by Jim
Mmmm! Earwax!
Caption: When does the other one come back from repair?
hahahhahahhahahahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhha
