Anne Hill, D.Min., Bio Page
Anne Hill, author, musician, dreamworker, priestess, and business owner, began playing music at age five, and had plans to become a concert bassoonist until at 18 she turned to guitar, singing, and songwriting. She has performed widely, first as a classical musician, then later in the folk music circuit in Santa Cruz and San Francisco, and most recently in house concerts and festivals. A multi-instrumentalist with a fondness for collecting instruments, Anne sings, plays the guitar, piano, flute, bassoon, accordion, bodhran, and pennywhistles.
Anne received a BA in Womens Studies and a teaching credential at UC Santa Cruz. She has been involved in activist and Pagan circles in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 20 years, and has taught classes, intensives and workshops in feminist spirituality with Reclaiming in the US, Canada, and England. She is also a skilled facilitator, and has led workshops on consensus process and group dynamics. Anne is an initiated priestess of the Reclaiming and Feri traditions of Witchcraft.
Along with Starhawk and Diane Baker, Anne co-authored the bestselling Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Traditions (Bantam, 1998), which also included a number of her original songs and chants. Anne's poetry, essays and music have been published in several anthologies, including The Pagan Book of Living and Dying (Harper SanFrancisco, 1997), and Cyborg Babies: From Techno-Sex to Techno-Tots (Routledge, 1998), as well as periodicals such as Mothering and New Age Journal.

Anne is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Creation Spirituality in Oakland, CA, and is at work on a book about priestessing and leadership in neo-Pagan spiritual traditions.
In 1992, Anne began Serpentine Music Productions, a mail-order distribution company for Pagan music. Starting out of her home, Serpentine Music has evolved into the premier source for Pagan music worldwide, and Anne has been widely sought after for her knowledge of the subject.
Anne has a thriving dream work practice, combining the techniques pioneered by author Jeremy Taylor, and her own 20 years of ritual experience and mythological study. She is particularly interested in the dreams of teenagers, and working dreams within families.
