Serene Conneeley is an Australian writer and witch with a fascination for history, travel, ritual, and the myth and magic of ancient places and cultures. As well as her novels, non-fiction titles and oracle decks, she's written for magazines about news, travel, health, spirituality, entertainment and social and environmental issues, edited several kids mags and Australian Geographic publications, and contributed to books on witchcraft, history and personal transformation.
She has studied magical and medicinal herbalism, bereavement counselling, bibliotherapy, reiki, reconnective healing and many other healing modalities, plus politics and journalism. She won the 2026 Award for Inspiration and Contribution to Australian Fairy Tale Culture. Serene loves reading books, drinking tea, working out, visiting the swans in her backyard park, and celebrating the energy of the moon and the magic of the earth.
Her pagan heart blossomed as she climbed mountains, danced in stone circles, crawled into ancient burial mounds and stood in the shadow of the pyramids on her travels, and she's also, perhaps more importantly, learned the magic of finding true happiness and peace at home.
