Crystal Visions Enterprises is the creation of Paula Jean West who is also known as Lady Branwenn WhiteRaven.  Paula was involved in so many endeavors, she needed an official name to cover them all.  In 2003, Paula chose the name Crystal Visions Enterprises to encompass the myriad aspects of her life and to keep the IRS happy.  Crystal Visions Enterprises has grown to contain a number of somewhat unrelated occupations which all together make up just a small portion of what Paula is today.  These include:

• Mystery Shopping  Paula has been a member of the MSPA  (Mystery Shopping Providers Association) and a Silver Shopper since 2003.  She specializes in the shopping of hotels, restaurants, gas stations and convenience stores. Mystery Shopping helps her save money on travel-related expenses and pays her money to do what she would be doing anyway, except now she writes a report about these services and whether or not they were satisfactory.
• Travel Writing  Paula lives to travel to new and unusual places, mostly sacred sites associated with Pagan and other nature-oriented spirituality, but sometimes just to zoos, botanical gardens, the mountains or the ocean--all beloved by practitioners of Pagan spirituality as well.  Whether she is published in Circle Magazine, on Examiner.com where Paula is the Sacred Pagan Travel Examiner or in one of her four blogs, Paula writes prolifically and on a variety of subjects that appeal to those who find our Mother Earth to be sacred

• Brugh na Bhride Gardens and Crafts  Brugh na Bhride is the name of the urban homestead that Paula and her husband Jamey have co-created in Lynchburg, VA.  The four story house dates from the 1920s and features an original stone sacred circle and fire pit in the backyard made of stone quarried in the old quarry that is still just a few blocks from their home.  They also cherish an incredible white quartz fireplace that was built in approximately 1922 by previous residents.  With lots of time, love and more than a little sweat and tears, Paula and Jamey (and their friend Steve who serves as their construction foremen and jack of all trades) have created a real labor of love dedicated to Paula's primary Goddess, Brighid.  They have covered almost every inch of the front and back yards with raised beds where they grow herbs and vegetables for themselves and with the intent of selling some of their produce at local Farmer's Markets in Virginia.  Jamey makes authentic Witch's brooms for handfastings for those who wish to "jump the broom" in the olde way and Paula creates herbal crafts, magickal potions, bath salts and all sorts of wonderful goodies from her herbs, flowers and vegetables.  .
