About Loam

Loam Ananda (they/them) is an Ovate and has been a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids since 2016. With a background in the San Francisco Bay Area Reclaiming Tradition, and deeply influenced by the Alchemical Fire Circle community, as well as a personal Kirtan chanting practice, their favorite form of magic is comprised of voice, music, movement, and service. A published author and poet, Loam weaves spirituality into their poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.  Loam aims to use their bardic gifts not just for entertainment but to commemorate and transmit the knowledge and experiences of our communities through poetry and song. They are grateful that Druidry has given purpose to their previously scattered and random song-writing tendencies.
