Heather Greene

I’m an editor and journalist based in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m the author of the award winning book Lights, Camera, Witchcraft: A Critical History of Witches in American Film and Television.

I am an acquisitions editor with Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd. and a freelance journalist. I have written articles for the news wire Religion News Service and Religion Unpluggled. My work has appeared in The Washington Post, Associated Press, The Wild Hunt, Patheos.com, Circle Magazine, the Parliament of the World Religions online magazine and more.

I am the former managing editor of the news journal, The Wild Hunt and on the board of Mystic South Conference. In the past, I have done research and writing for Turner Classic Movies and Lady Liberty League. I’m honored to say that my writing has been translated into German, French, Spanish, Polish, Italian, and Thai.

My interests are strongly focused on the crossroads of pop culture, religion, politics, and the occult. It is quite muddy there, but often colorful and loud. I’ve been studying both Witchcraft and film for over thirty years. I have a B.A. in Film Studies from the Wesleyan University and an M.A. in Film Studies from Emory University. And, I hold a 3rd degree with the Phoenix Tradition, a Wiccan grove in Atlanta.

I am a proud member of Circle Sanctuary, Covenant of the Goddess, Religion Newswriters Association, and my family. When I do get a few quiet moments, I can be found in my studio restoring dolls, sipping tea on the back porch, or tending to two very needy cats.
