Luanna T. Pagan Pride Las Vegas Lead Coordinator since 2017
I am a Solitary Hekate Witch with over a decade of experience in the craft, having been devoted to my path since 2014. Guided by the wisdom and power of Hekate, and with a twist of Lilith, I focus on harnessing energy for protection, transformation, and spiritual growth. My practice is deeply personal and rooted in honoring the cycles of nature and the ancient traditions that resonate with my soul.
I love bringing pagans together on Pagan Pride Day because it’s a beautiful celebration of our shared spirituality, diversity, and community. It’s a chance to connect, learn, and honor our paths while fostering understanding and acceptance. Creating a space where we can freely express our beliefs and support one another fills me with joy and reminds me of the strength and unity within our collective.

I am a Solitary Practitioner and while my practice is very eclectic, I have a strong foundation in Wicca as an 2nd degree Initiate. I am a skilled tarot card reader and Reiki Healer. I enjoy crafting and working with my hands expressing my creative nature. I believe that finding oneself is the true purpose of life. Discovering and uncovering the psychic abilities inherent to all humans is of the utmost importance. I have spent most of my life drawn to metaphysical, paranormal and unexplainable elements of this life. As I walk along my path to discover my truth and abilities, I have had the opportunity to gain much knowledge and insight. I feel compelled to share and promote that which I have learned; to help others find and discover their truth. “To thine own self be true.” -Wm. Shakespeare (Hamlet)
Pagan Pride Las Vegas Secretary
Lizzie is a Priestess of Persephone and Hades for 18 years. Proficient in Tarot and alternative forms of divination. Originally initiated into traditional American Wicca she has since gravitated towards more traditional folk practices within her own heritage and culture.
I am an initiated 1st and 2nd degree Wiccan through a local traditional Wiccan group, and I am also an ordained Priestess of Sekhmet. I've been practicing Wicca for over 30 years.
I completed the Ordination Program of the Temple of Goddess Spirituality under the guidance of Priestess Candace Ross, and briefly served as the resident Priestess. In the summer of 2020 I joined Priest Naheem and Priestess Novaembre to form the Sanctuary of Solace, an inclusive and diverse community where everyone is welcome to worship in their own way.
In 2022 we joined UUCLV, becoming the only C.U.U.P.s group in Las Vegas. We offer both online and in person rituals for all 8 Sabbats, as well as various social activities and a monthly newsletter.

Defining the Mission Statement:
We try to keep our purpose balanced through the inspirations of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth:
We try to keep our purpose balanced through the inspirations of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth:
Fire: Activism
People aren’t necessarily going to go out of their way to find out what Pagans really do. We have to have the courage to act on our convictions and do what we need to do.
Water: Charity
We know that what we do returns to us. We need to demonstrate this by offering compassion to our communities where it is needed. When we share our own abundance, we show that we trust the Gods to share abundance with us in return.
Air: Education
We’re never going to be able to practice our spiritual paths openly if we don’t give the public accurate information about what we do and do not do.
Earth: Community
We’re never going to be able to practice openly if we don’t know anyone else in our local Pagan communities. We need to weave networking webs in our cities, in our towns, in our rural areas. We need these webs to support one another. That support will also show those who would restrict our practice that we are not just a few isolated wackos, but are a growing congregation of people who adhere to a faith that, while different, is as valid as their own.
