Selena Fox (born October 1949) is a Wiccan priestess and the founder of the "Circle Craft" tradition of Wicca and of Circle Sanctuary, a Nature Spirituality resource center headquartered on the 200-acre Circle Sanctuary Nature Preserve in Wisconsin. Circle Sanctuary's quarterly journal, Circle Network News (now called Circle Magazine) was first published in the late 1970s and is currently the most widely distributed neo-pagan publication in the world. Selena is also the founder of Pagan Spirit Gathering, one of the oldest neopagan festivals in the United States.
Selena is a trained counselor and psychotherapist and a member of the American Psychological Association, American Counseling Association, Association for Transpersonal Psychology, and American Academy of Religion. She attended her first neo-pagan ritual at the age of 21 and has represented Neo-Paganism in the public sphere since 1973, making appearances on The Today Show, Donahue, Sightings, Sally Jesse Raphael, Larry King Live, various radio networks (NPR, BBC[citation needed], ABC, CBC), and in Time magazine[citation needed] and The Wall Street Journal[citation needed]. She has also been the subject of repeated negatively-characterized feature stories on Pat Robertson's The 700 Club.
Selena is the founder and executive director of the Lady Liberty League, a networking organization dedicated to religious freedom for Wiccans, neo-pagans, and other nature religion practitioners worldwide. In 1992, she founded the Pagan Academic Network, an association for professors, students, and researchers with an academic interest in Neo-Paganism. Her writing has appeared in numerous publications, and she is the author of Goddess Communion: Rituals and Meditations and When Goddess is God: Pagans, Recovery, and Alcoholics Anonymous.
Selena co-directs Circle Sanctuary and Pagan Spirit Gathering with her husband, Dennis Carpenter, who is also the editor of Circle Network News.
