Brandi Auset

Bio

Brandi’s intuitive gifts came early in life, and the call to be a teacher and healer led her to study a variety of spiritual faiths, paths, and religious doctrines. Her early adult years were filled with seminars, classes, private training, personal & spiritual journeys that led to her true path. Through the blessings of the Spirit, and the attention of amazing instructors, Brandi learned to hone her gifts, and how to use them for the benefit of herself & others.

Over the years, she learned to combine her intuitive skills with her psychological and philosophical studies, and focused her energy on working professionally as a holistic healer and counselor.

In 1995 Brandi was attuned to the First Degree of Reiki. She found a peace & happiness within the Reiki healing system that, to her, embodied the spirit of enlightenment. She continued her studies, began practicing professionally in 1996, and was attuned as a Reiki Master Teacher.

The studies of holistic, cultural, & metaphysical paths allowed Brandi to become ordained as an interfaith minister and spiritual counselor of Universal Life Church in 1998; ordained as a Wiccan High Priestess in 1999; and a certified Aromatherapist in 2002.  Priestess Auset continues to work with clients and teaches private workshops to women on many topics, including techniques for infusing the Goddess and Her power and mystery into daily life and spiritual practice.

Always a writer, Brandi has been publishing her non fiction with various sources for many years, and her fiction and poetry have been winning awards since her preteens. In 2006, she began writing and researching the history and mythology of the Divine Feminine; those findings became The Goddess Guide: Exploring the Attributes and Correspondences of the Divine Feminine, a reference tool published by Llewellyn Worldwide in June 2009. She is currently working towards her undergraduate degree, and her next title will be a collection of essays regarding life as a Goddess woman. Brandi is also writing and illustrating a divination deck.

Ms. Auset still dabbles in novel fiction and poetic prose, and is working on a series of dark fantasy stories for publication. She also writes and creates with Forbidden Panel, a graphic novel publisher and reviewer.

Born and raised in Southern California, Brandi Auset now lives in Los Angeles, where she attends bikram yoga daily but still drinks obscene amounts of coffee.
