Career
RavenWolf received her Third Degree Initiation from a member of the Serpent Stone family, a pagan congregation. {{clarify|date=October 2018|reason=The general reader will not know what the Serpent Stone Family is or what a third-degree initiation is.}} While studying under a British Traditional Witch who claimed to have ties to the International Red Garters in Britain, Silver also became connected with a family lineaged witch who was the last in his line of the tradition. It was this mentorship that prompted the beginning of the Black Forest Circle and Seminary in the 1990s. {{citation needed|date=July 2022}}, The Black Forest Circle and Seminary is an organization that contains hundreds of covens spanning the United States and Canada.
Until the 2010s, she appeared as a lecturer and workshop facilitator at events in the Neo-Pagan community.
