Welcome to the Illuminate podcast! In this 9th episode, I will be interviewing Lunasol, AKA. Maritza Shafer,    

Lunasol, a proud witch, activist, consultant heading a global company on transformational practices, the happy holder of 3 passports as evidence that the nation state is a fantasy, and a hopeless music and dance addict.    

Lunasol was born and raised a witch in Chile, with strong magical influence from both Indigenous (from Chile) and Italian witch lines.   She was initiated by her grandmother Nora Ilda Chiavegat Núñez, and has practiced her whole life. After moving to the US when she was 18, she studied as a solo practitioner, with a coven in upstate New York in the late 90’s, and with the Reclaiming tradition in the SF Bay Area for about 17 years. She is not currently a member of a coven, but of the High Priestess for a handful of solo practitioners.    

Lunasol is a communications expert with 30 years of experience in emotional growth techniques, spiritual development tools, healing, ritual, activism and having a whole lot of fun. She has worked with many tools and traditions in her spiritual practice, including intuitive readings and healings, spell casting, Reiki, shamanic work, vision quests, past lives, constellations and the tarot.   

In her other life as MaritzaSchafer, she works as a Communications and Organizational Consultant with her colleagues at WiseBridge.org.   All of these things inform her writing about what it will take for us to live decent lives as individuals and save the species as a collection
