Zsuzsanna E. Budapest
Zsuzsanna Emese Budapest is the founder and high priestess of the Dianic Tradition of witchcraft, sometimes referred to as Dianic Wicca.
Z is a hereditary witch. Her mother, Masika Szilagyi, was a medium and a practicing witch who supported
herself and her daughter with her art, as a sculptress. Masika's themes
always celebrated the Triple Goddess and the Fates, and Z grew up respecting and appreciating Mother Nature as a god.
When Z entered her Saturn cycle at
the age of thirty, she became involved with the Women's Liberation Movement
in Los Angeles and became one of the foremost activists herself, staffing the Women's Center
there for many years.
Z recognized a need for a spiritual dimension so far lacking in
the feminist movement and started the Women's Spirituality Movement. She
founded the Dianic Tradition and the Susan B. Anthony Coven Number One in 1971 , the first feminist witches'
coven, which became the role model for thousands of other spiritual groups
being born and spreading across the nation. She wrote The Holy Book of Women's
Mysteries, which was originally published in 1975
as The Feminist Book of Lights and Shadows. This book served as the first
hands-on book to lead women into their own spiritual Goddess heritage.
In 1975, Z was arrested for reading Tarot cards to an undercover policewoman.
She lost the trial but won the issue, and the law against psychics and fortunetelling was struck
down nine years later because of Z's relentless efforts. (See WitchTrial.net) Today, Z Budapest continues to counsel with her Psychic Tarot Readings.
Z has led hundreds of rituals, lectured, taught classes, given
workshops, written articles tirelessly, and published in hundreds of women's
newspapers across the country. She has powerfully influenced many of the
future teachers and writers about the Goddess.
California Institute for Integral Studies recognized recently Z's contribution to Women's Spirituality Movement.
