Sharon Knight

Like the sirens of the sea she is oft campared with, Sharon's distinctive voice captivates audiences young and old, sweeping them away to otherworldly vistas of myth and magick.

Enthralled at an early age by the indomitable spirit of the Celts and the power and melancholy of their songs, she made her first foray into music singing and accompanying herself on guitar, madola, and percussion in Celtic ensembles and as a solo act throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

Equally fascinated by the myths and legends of the Celts, her music has found inspiration in such luminaries as Robin Williamson and William Butler Yeates. Finding in music the perfect vehicle for exploring these visionary landscapes, she has sought to fuse these elements together through her art. Writing in the "twilight language" that poets throughout the ages have used to traverse these mysteries, Sharon strives to craft songs that journey into the the soul's innermost landscapes, where vast and wondrous realms exist, reminding us that our lives can be epic everyday.

Sharon and her longtime collaborator, Winter, record and perform with some of the Bay Area's most accomplished musicians. They have been heard on over 300 radio stations, played in a wide range of venues from grand to modest, enjoyed "top 10 status" on MP3 and NAR charts, and have captured the attention of major labels and independent labels alike. Their music has been featured in two independed films, "Beatific Vision" and "The Commune" . They are also the founding members of the gothic/world/rock band, Pandemonaeon.

Sharon's commitment to her art remains firmly rooted in the archetypal language of myth, striving to meet her audience in the deep realms of the psyche. In so doing, she reminds us that we can all see the world through the eyes of enchantment.

Tarot for Lovers What is the number one question for the tarot? LOVE!!! "How do I get it?" "How is it going?" "Is my ex ever coming back?" This class focuses solely on the Love Reading. Students will discover the cards that represent their own romantic situation and those of their significant others and explore the romantic natures of both Trumps and Pips. Whether you single or partnered, this class will have interesting and helpful things to teach you! Great for readers who read regularly for others, as well as for those who primarily read for themselves. It will also provide new readings including the "Love Prescription" reading-when you consult the Tarot to find out how to bring new love into your life or increase the affection and chemistry in a relationship you already have!
