Woodruff is currently working on completing a book series on the Roots of Slavic Magic; providing new insights into this ancient religion based on recent archeological discoveries and revised scholarly analysis of petroglyphs from the areas influencing the proto-Slavs.

Woodruff is a polymath interested in art, archeology, ethnobotany, literature, neuroscience, parapsychology, theology, history, science and spirituality. She is also an avid bibliophile and autodidact, as well as an artist and writer. During the Spring term 2013, she engaged in a course of self-study in Rome, Italy, focusing on the art and spirituality of the area. Along with that, she visited the major megalithic temples and the Hypogeum on the islands of Malta dedicated to an ancient fertility goddess.

In 2014, she embarked on a course of study that resulted in a certification of Priestess of Stone Circle Wicca and her ordination as a minister. Fall of 2015 she got an introduction to traditional medicines and ritual from a shaman in the Amazon jungle. She was able to visit several sacred sites and the Museo Larco’s extensive collection of shamanic whistling vessels. This resulted in a book about the history and spirituality of the area.

Since 2016, Woodruff has been deeply immersed in studying the roots of Slavic earth religion, along with the magical practices, spirits, and deities of the culture. Woodruff’s interdisciplinary studies and multicultural spiritual studies provide a unique insight into the ancestral religion of her Carpatho-Rusyn heritage.

She has a Masters of Divinity and PhD in Metaphysical Theology from the University of Metaphysical Sciences (2020).
