Lindsey Rey has been on the "alternative path" since 1993 when she saw the amazing power of Nature via the flooding of the Mississippi River. (At the time she lived on a tiny island on the Easternmost tip of Iowa.) She has studied and researched most Pagan traditions, as well as several forms of Christianity and Eastern Philosophy. Collyridianism, she says, "felt so right" and she knew her Dark Night of the Soul was over.

She continues to reside in Iowa with her partner and cat.
