Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart (born Diana Moore, formerly Morning Glory Zell) is a Neopagan poet, author, lecturer, and priestess. She is of Irish and Choctaw Indian ancestry.

Her article "A Bouquet of Lovers", first published in Green Egg magazine in May 1990, contained one of the first modern English uses of the term "polyamory". She is an early and prominent member of the Neopagan Church of All Worlds, and active in the polyamorous community.

Zell-Ravenheart has facilitated workshops at many events and festivals over the years, such as science fiction conventions, renaissance fairs, and Pagan and interfaith religious festivals. She was ordained High Priestess of the Church of All Worlds (CAW) in 1974 and co-founded the Ecosophical Research Association in 1977, an organization that explores the truth behind myths; best known for the creation of the "living unicorn" (created by minor surgery to the horn buds of a goat).[1] One of their "unicorns", Lancelot, toured with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Along with her co-husband Oberon Zell-Ravenheart and other members of their group marriage, Zell-Ravenheart runs Mythic Images, a Neopagan business devoted to creating and selling votive statuary, jewelry, and books. Much of the artwork is created by the Ravenhearts, and is based upon both historical Pagan artifacts as well as original designs.

In 2006 she was diagnosed with a broken spine and multlple myeloma. She is currently undergoing a course of chemotherapy, along with and surgical and radiation treatment.[2]
