	A little about us...

	Elena Pugh is the owner of Off the Beaten Path. She has been a Wiccan priestess for nearly thirty years, practicing both in a coven setting and as a solitary. She received formal training in a Gardnerian derivative tradition and now practices an eclectic tradition. Elena is also an ordained Interfaith minister. An alumnus of The New Seminary in Manhattan, she has been on the teaching staff of both The New Seminary and One Spirit Interfaith Seminary. Elena has been a guest on WGHT radio representing the Wiccan community in WGHT's Faiths of Northern NJ series. The Metaphysical Center of NJ has also had her as a guest lecturer. As an ordained Interfaith minister, Elena is available for weddings, handfastings, baby blessing ceremonies, funerals and memorials, and sick calls in local hospitals.

	Glen Pugh is co-owner of Off the Beaten Path. He has been a Wiccan priest for more than thirty years, practicing both in a coven setting and as a solitary. He received formal training in a Gardnerian derivative tradition. He and Elena now practice an eclectic tradition. The depth of his wisdom becomes apparent when he shares his insight with Elena's classes. Most of Glen's contributions to the business are behind the scenes but are invaluable to Off the Beaten Path. He is the one who keeps our computer systems humming, and who runs the store while Elena is teaching or performing her ministerial functions. He helps to stock shelves and also has become quite adept at creating merchandise displays. In between, he finds time to review books and make recommendations on whether or not Off the Beaten Path will stock particular titles. Glen also assists Elena with the buying and accompanies her on nearly all her purchasing trips.

	Nancy Fader ("Raushanna") has been performing and choreographing belly dance for over twenty years, both as a troupe member and a solo performer, and has been teaching belly dance for over ten years. Initially drawn to belly dance because of its focus on flexibility, strength and femininity; her connection with this beautiful dance form was deepened as she learned of its long history and use as a sacred dance of Goddess worship. This additional dimension to her performances and choreography, combined with her lifetime love of nature and animals, led Nancy to seek spiritual fulfillment in Wicca; she is a Third Degree dedicant of a teaching coven into which she was initiated in 2005. Nancy, a lifetime native of New Jersey, and her husband, Bob, live in Bergen County, and own a small 120 year old home in Cape May, NJ. She and her husband each have grown sons from previous marriages.

She was ordained into the Priesthood, according to the order of Melchizedek, on October 23rd, 2005 through the Sanctuary of the Beloved. Barbara is also a certified spiritual healer and a graduate of the Silva Method of Mind Development. In addition to being a gifted reader, she teaches tarot classes at Off the Beaten Path, enabling others to understand and connect with the hidden meanings of the cards. Barbara enjoys her home life with her husband, children, and her wonderful pets.
