I am Mary Lavoie, proprietress of Crescent Moon Herbals. It is my pleasure to offer this unique shop to you with its
eclectic selection of gifts and services.
My professional career began as a Legal Secretary, until I married Jerry and we began our family. With two young children
tow, we moved from Salem, Massachusetts, to Lebanon, Maine, to provide our family with "a better way of life". As the
children grew (and more came along), I became actively involved with school, sports and dance classes. Eventually I began
writing for local papers as the Lebanon Correspondent, which I continued for several years before going to work full time at
a local newspaper.
Eventually, and with the encouragement of my husband, the shop officially opened its doors on Sept. 16, 2004. It has
continued to grow and expand steadily ever since. I have been fortunate to be a student in many of the classes offered at
the shop by the experienced teachers who assist me here. With their encouragement and help, I now offer private ear
candling sessions; Shamballa and Reiki Energy Healing; and Psychic Intuitive Card Readings. I am a Reiki Master and
Practitioner, receiving certification from Greg Phillips, RM; and a Shamballa Multi-Dimensional Healer, receiving
certification from Holly Brown, Certified Master Teacher, and The Shamballa School of Esoteric Sciences. Certification of
Ear Candling was received by Chris Bashaw, RN and Senior Herbalist. In 2009, I was ordained as a minister of the
Universal Light Church and was included as a contributor in the new book "Out of the Broom Closet: 50 True Stories of
Witches Who Found and Embraced the Craft.
Crescent Moon also actively participates in fund-raising events for local charitable organizations and schools.

Snowhawk, Kevin E. Emmons, is a druid priest and a native of Maine. He is 41 years old and has been on the pagan path
for more than 20 years. His pagan studies began in earnest in 1990, completing a year-long apprenticeship in shamanism
studying cross-cultural shamanic traditions including Peruvian, Japanese, Hawaiian and Native American teachings. In the
mid-90s he began exploring the European pagan spiritual traditions which led him to his life path, Druidry. He is a student
and colleague of Emma Restall Orr, Head of the Druid Network based in the United Kingdom, working with her since 1999
and completing her year-long Living Druidry course in the Cotswolds in 2006. In his role as a druid priest he is actively
involved with pagan prison ministry. Besides teaching workshops and mentoring students, he has worked publicly leading
ritual, giving lectures and radio interviews to share his vision of Druidry. His other interests include music, photography,
writing and the martial arts, having earned a black-belt in 1995. He also enjoys exploring Nature, ritual and the sacred with
his grove mates.
Beth Sulecki is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire and holds a bachelor's degree in the Behavioral Sciences,
with a concentration in Gerontology and Family Dynamics. Having graduated in 1977 from Corinthian College in
Brookline, Mass., Beth worked within the medical community as a medical assistant until 1986. Beth also attended Mt. Ida
College and is certified in Thanantology, which is the study of bereavement and the dying process. She actively began
hospice training in 1996 and assisted many people through their final transition.
Women’s empowerment classes and workshops are vitally important her. Teaching classes in areas of self-help, vibrational
and energy medicine, Reiki and spiritual disciplines are some of the areas in which she finds her greatest satisfaction. As a
long-time student of the Yogic tradtion, Beth studied subjects such as the Bhagavad Gita, Feminine Archetypes, Magdellan
Chronicles, the Michael Teachings, Kundalini Rising and many more. As a Reiki Master in Usui and Shamballa, she is
attuned in Mahatma, Christ Light, Shamballa and Usui energies. Beth attended the intensive Reiki teacher program through
Dovestar Institute where she now attunes 1st, 2nd and 3rd level Reiki initiates.
As an energy worker, Beth firmly believes the health of the body is greatly enhanced by clearing energetic blocks due to
repressed emotions. Through actively addressing these areas of bodily and psychological discomfort, she believes we bring
balance and peace to the physical body which affects the emotional and spiritual bodies. Beth incorporates Reflexology and
Reiki to assist in the release of these blockages. As a hypnotherapist, past life regression is another tool she uses to eliminate
these harmful patterns.
In 1974, Beth also began her path in Astrology and practices in areas of life path and purpose, compatibility and soul mate
consultation, adolescent and birth charts, past life and karmic lessons and spiritual dharma path interpretations. Her charts
are available through this website.
