Linda Sager Kazalski, (sometimes called Bryghteyez) was born and raised in the Catskill Mountains of rural upstate New York. She’s been a tree-hugging dirt-worshipper, a political activist and general troublemaker since her teens, at least. Even as a child, the woods and streams of her native mountains were her favorite sanctuary. A First Class Girl Scout (the highest rank then available) raised by an Eagle Scout, she learned “Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.” and “Be Prepared” very young. 

Pagan since the late 1970s, she has been involved in the Hampton Roads, Virginia pagan community for over 30 years. She founded Three Branch River Grove, ADF in 2015. She has been a member of Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship (ADF) since 2014 and was Senior Druid of Three Branch River Grove, ADF 2016-2021. She has been on the organizing committee for Hampton Roads, Virginia Interfaith LGBTQIA+ Pride Celebrations since 2018. She was Regional Druid of the SouthEast Region of the United States 2020-2022 and was appointed the Deputy Regional Druid in 2022. She is the Coordinator of the Polyamory SIG and a member of the Grove Coordination Committee.
