Star Bustamonte serves as a correspondent for The Wild Hunt, and previously served as its News Editor from 2018-2023. Drawing on over 25 years of reading tarot, she also writes the Tarot Card of the Week feature that appears in our Pagan Community News posts. She is a Pagan of an eclectic origin, and managing partner of House of Black Cat Magic. Left to her own devices, she would stay home reading books and drinking Guinness and trying to prevent her cats from getting their grubby little paws on things they shouldn’t–like wine. She lives with her long-suffering husband, who miraculously still loves her.
