Lexa Rosean

Lexa Roséan (born May 1958), is an American Wiccan high priestess and an initiated neo-Gardnerian Minoan witch, dancer and writer. Also known as the Supermarket Sorceress, in 2005 she was voted "Best Witch in NYC" by The Village Voice. Roséan has been the subject of numerous articles in publications including The New York Times, Newsday, USA Today, Voice of Russia and Marie Claire (Chinese edition), as well as a featured guest on television programs, including CNN, 20/20 The Joan Rivers Show, MTV, Food Network, and Fox News. She is also a lecturer and pagan writer. She has authored and published eight books on spellcraft, Wicca, astrology, and Tarot (four of which have been translated into German and Russian); she has written special articles as well as a monthly astrology column for publications such as CosmoGirl, Seventeen and ReporTango. Though she prepares spells for clients regularly, she is very adamant about her role: "I have always been clear that no one can do it for you—you have to participate in it," she insists. "I am great at soul diagnostics and prescribing magickal solutions, but the client has to take the medication (work the spell) once I prepare it for their specific needs." Kate Walter, writing for The Village Voice, described Roséan as "a cross between a psychic and a shrink".
