Connla Hundr Lung is the creator and founder of the animistic and symbiotic magickal system known as Heidhr Craft/Vendel Witchcraft, a Vitki and Godhi within that Tradition, and the author of Norse Witch: Reclaiming the Heidhrinn Heart and Blessings of Fire and Ice: A Norse Witch Devotional, as well as co-author of Turning the Wheel: The Ritual Year of the Norse Witch. He is now also the co-founder of the Witchcraft Tradition known as Syrenity or Syrene Witchcraft, alongside Michelle Iacona, holding titles as Retiarius and Godsinger within that Tradition. He currently works full-time as Art Director and Public Relations Director at Iaconagraphy Press. Formerly known as Connla Freyjason, he has been dead and Pagan for at least three decades, and tends to view his status as a channeled spirit as “the elephant in the room that everyone actually wants to talk about”. However, he would much rather be regarded as a Chinese-American man with a valuable voice; a man who has something worthwhile to say, via both his art and his writing. He just happens to also be a man, like most men, who got where he is right now through considerable help from very dear friends and loved ones. Though raised Buddhist/Taoist with a strong Protestant backbeat, for the past three decades of his afterlife, Connla has explored various Pagan paths, including Wicca, Kemeticism, Welsh Reconstructionist Druidry, and Heidhr Craft, before co-founding and settling into Syrenity. Connla currently holds the equivalency of a degree in Archaeology (with emphasis on Norse Studies), and is presently working on the equivalency of a Masters in Archaeology (equivalencies because: it is very hard to find a university that is willing to enroll the Dead!). Connla has furthered his knowledge of the esoteric arts in classes conducted by such important names in the field as Christopher Penczak, Mat Auryn, Kristoffer Hughes, John Hijatt, and Renee Des Anges. Connla currently resides in Massachusetts, along with his “hostess-with-the-mostest”, Michelle, and his Beloved, Suzanne. He is owned by four cats: Kili Freyjason (on the Other Side), Lady Blueberry Cheesecake of the Twitchy Tail (on the Other Side), Nimue (on the Other Side), and Gimli. Connla enjoys cooking, home-making, paper-crafting, crochet, leather-crafting, sewing, creating digital art, writing poetry, researching Straight Egyptian Arabian horses, designing and creating tack for model horses (working with miniatures), serving his Deities, trying to make the world a more compassionate place, and learning as much as he possibly can about those things which spark his passions.
