Christina Oakley Harrington

Bio

Christina Oakley Harrington is the founder of the London bookstore, Treadwell’s. She’s been interested in spirituality and magic since childhood, and grew up in West Africa, Burma, and Chile, moving to the West at the age of fifteen. In her early 20s she was heartened to discover Europe’s own native religious traditions, and has been a pagan ever since. A former academic, she left university life in 2001 to establish Treadwell’s. These days she serves as a consultant for programs and projects, but is usually at the shop somewhere during the week. She is the co-founder and literary editor of Abraxas: International Journal for Esoteric Studies. She recently launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for Dreams of Witches, a book about the free, pagan, transgressive aspects of witches down the centuries.
