Meet Lisa and Anton
Lisa and Anton Stewart live in the historic village of New Paltz, nestled at the foot of the Shwangunk River, an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York State. It was here that we founded The Church of the Eternal Circle, New York’s first federally recognized Celtic Wiccan Fellowship. They have honored the Old Gods by offering a safe and sacred to gather, facilitating rites and rituals, and ministering to the needs of their spiritual community for over twenty-five years.
Both being witches and accomplished musicians, they created the beautiful and profoundly moving album, Circle in a Box, to serve as the soundtrack for a complete Wiccan ritual.
As self-confessed Preservers of the Path, they have dedicated their lives to ensuring the survival of the Craft of the Wise through programs of education and training, and by raising witches in their Welsch-Celtic tradition of Wicca.
Lisa is the founder of the Stewart tradition and High Priestess of the Church of the Eternal Circle. She is considered a knowledgeable craft elder and has taught classes and workshops on over 30 different esoteric subjects both in the US and internationally.
She opened the Awareness Shop in 1993. In addition to being the Shop’s owner for over 25 years, she is a working psychic, singer/songwriter, and author (recently published by Llewellyn Worldwide), who has dedicated her life to The Craft of The Wise. Lisa also holds many more responsibilities in the business, including buyer, marketer, merchandiser, bookkeeper, scheduler, and social media oversight. As President of the Church’s Board of Directors, she also manages the day-to-day operation of the Fellowship.
Anton Stewart is the co-founder of the Stewart Tradition and the High Priest of the Church of the Eternal Circle. He came to the Craft in 1998 and has served as a Brenin (High Priest/Clergy) since 2004.
A practicing psychic, healer and spiritual counselor, Anton is intimately involved in the day-to-day operations of the Church and The Awareness Shop.
He serves as Chief Technical Officer and Accountant for both organizations. Anton is a musician, songwriter, and author with a deep love of nature. He considers his life to be immeasurably enriched by serving the Fellowship’s community and Craft of the Wise.
