Tad Ericson
Co-owner, Artis, Creative Media Specialist, Drummer, Skateboarder, Father
Tad has had an interesting path. He suffered from asthma his entire life and had many transformations during his time, including the two times that he died and managed to come back. He is a Scorpio sun, Scorpio rising, and a Cancer Moon making him an intense but half-in/ half out highly prophetic contributor with many insights into the other realms. His professional life is distinguished in the music, video, and VFX industry and even managed to work with Vevo as their editor for a decent amount of time. He did work on the TV show Borgia, a Kanye West music video, and worked with Seabring Studios. He has helped focus larger brands with the creative media solutions and even created one of the Grammy introduction and 2-D media titles. 

As a witchy practitioner, he is eclectic but also connects deeply with his Scottish, Danish, and Norwegian roots as well and his connection with the Shoshone and Métis First Nations. He works with Odin, Cernnunos, and Kali as well as many transformative gods and goddesses. Of course it goes to say BLM matter and no racism or hatred towards LGBTQI members of any kind is tolerated in our space.
