About me
Jess Settergren has been a solitary witch and Pagan since 1996 and studied many mythologies and traditions for worship, philosophy, and craft. While her personal practice has Wiccan bones, she branched into an eclectic mix of Norse, Greek, and Irish paganism over the years and focused much of her studies through The Irish Pagan School. She’s been dedicated to The Morrigan for over a decade. In 2019, Jess was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, the most common form of breast cancer. Her treatment included surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone therapy, with all the horrid side effects many cancer patients endure. She discovered most of the cancer support available is rooted in Christianity and didn't address her concerns, so when she finished treatment she wrote a cancer support book for Pagans. Defying Shadows: For Witches and Pagans Battling Cancer and Critical Illness, published by Crossed Crow Books, will be available on 2/21/2025.
