Meet Alachua’s Resident Horse Riding Teacher and Wiccan Priestess
Kami Landy found her bright yellow dress just in time for the spring equinox.
It was a floral robe she made with fabric she bought from a garage sale months ago. But that night, her forgotten passion project was perfect for the night’s spiritual occasion.
Yellow represents air, the east and spring in Pagan traditions — and at the ceremony that evening, members of different pagan groups met over Zoom to celebrate Ostara, the season’s equinox.
Kami Landy and her husband Nelson Boon are Odyssean Wiccans who currently live in Alachua. Their practices are more than tradition — it’s a way of life. It’s a part of almost everything they do, from teaching Zoom classes on using herbs in spells to taking care of their horses for Kami’s horse riding business.
The altar on the second-floor landing is one of the many ways Kami and Nelson practice spirituality in their home. One of Kami’s dogs, Ruby, had medical complications, so she and Nelson sewed a red “poppet” of her to include in a ritual for her health. The poppet sits next to two candles and crystal to channel energy. (Ava Loomar/WUFT News)
Usually, Kami and Nelson are the ritual leaders for a small local group of Odyssean Wiccans, but that night, they were congregants to celebrate change, balance and rebirth.
Nelson lounged on a couch in their living room, separated from Kami by a table adorned with candles. She swayed and tapped her foot as the priest and priestess sang:
“Let those love now who have never loved. Let those who have loved love again.”
The ritual was much like any other religious holiday service. Leaders give blessings using traditional tools. Congregants join in to say prayers. They sing, connect with their gods and tell a story about what they celebrate.
For Ostara, that meant they cast a circle to conduct the ritual by blessing each cardinal direction with a ceremonial blade and a wand. Then, they invited the god and goddess of spring, Angus Og and Brid, to join them. One attendee acted as Caileach, goddess of winter, as she told the story of the holiday. They gave thanks for spring overcoming winter, but also asked the Caileach for forgiveness. Balance is integral to all of their practices.
After the ceremony, Kami and Nelson chatted and laughed. None of the friends had been able to see each other for a while. It had been a tough winter, with the pandemic making it hard to enjoy. Spring looked more hopeful — and laughter, after all, is a characteristic of air, Kami said.
But Wicca isn’t all grand ceremonies and rites. For the Kami and Nelson, it’s everything from making small charms for the health of their horses to feeling the energy in the world around them every day.
“I don’t know that I could call it a religion,” Kami said. “Wicca is a way of working.”
A woven basket sits on an end table in Kami and Nelson’s living room. Inside, a statue of a goddess sits at the center of a pentagram, a 5-pointed star that represents the elements in Wiccan faiths. Nelson collected the spring flowers and fungi from the woods on their property to celebrate the spring equinox. (Ava Loomar/WUFT News)
