Draft:Angela Magara
Angela Magara, American writer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angela Magara (born Angela Smith, 1945-2017) was an American feminist and writer. She is known for her book of poems, "Earth Psalms," an eco-feminist reimagining of the biblical psalms. Angela Magara was born in North Carolina and raised on her family’s 70-acre farm in Mount Pleasant. Angela attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where she studied English and Dramatic Arts; she became the first member of her family to graduate from a university. Angela grew up in a Christian home and joined a born-again, charismatic Christian group in the 1970s. Angela's spiritual journey led her to neo-paganism in the early 1990s, when she joined Cella, a feminist pagan training group, and later Reclaiming. Her experiences with Reclaiming[1] transformed her vision of spirit and allowed her to fully experience herself as a priestess. Angela began writing Earth Psalms in early 2004 while she was living in the mountains of Vermont.[2]
