Britt Brown

“My name is Britt Brown (they/them), I am a licensed massage therapist, small business owner, multimedia artist, and I am the assistant social media and marketing manager at Eugene Pagan Pride for the 2024 season. Though I am not Pagan myself, many of my friends and loved ones are, and I appreciate what Paganism has brought to their lives and our community as a whole.

“I’m Xephyr Burton. My wife & I have lived here in Eugene for two years now, originally from Austin, TX. During the day, I’m a software developer for a company in Austin. At night, I write rituals, draw labyrinths, and paint 3D-printed statues of the gods. My wife & I have four cats and two adult sons here with us in Eugene. I’ve been an active, open pagan for thirty years, and have participated in a wide range of worship and activities. I have led pagan rituals, pagan campouts, and even a pagan scouting group for kids. Currently, I’m facilitating the pagan group at the UU Church in Eugene and am excited about being part of Pagan Pride in Eugene.”
