A little about Derek:

Hail and welcome! I am Derek Wrigley, the newest healer at the Enchanted Cottage. My spiritual path is that of Shamanic Wicca.
I moved to Bakersfield in October of '07 to start a new life with the most wonderfully magical woman a man could ever hope to share life with. I was raised in the small lumber town of Roseburg Oregon. I spent much of my youth outdoors and the wilderness is my second home. I took my first class in core shamanism with Christina Pratt way back when I was in Junior High. It was also at that time I was introduced to Taoism. By the time I graduated from high school I had studied with a Taoist Mystic and philosopher Bill Horden author of "The Tao of Cool", had a 2nd degree in Reiki, spoke two foreign languages and had a 2nd degree black belt in Tang Soo Do. By the time I was 23 I was married and nationally certified as a Licensed Massage Therapist in Oregon. I had a very successful practice. Ten years, two wonderful kids, and a divorce (thank the goddess) later, I moved here. Needing to repair spiritually the damage done by my marrige, I found wicca. I have been on the wiccan path for several years now. I am currently attending B.C. and working toward a Nursing Degree.
