Author Biography

Dr. Zsuzsanna "Z" Emese Budapest is one of the most colorful women living in the United States today. (ZBudapest.com) Born in Hungary, only a few blocks from the studios that produced the Hungarian films, Z was influenced by the Entertainment Industry at a young age. Z fled Hungary in 1956 because of the Revolution, and thus began her adventures in the world. She studied in Innsbruck and Vienna, and earned herself an International Scholarship with the University of Chicago. Later she studied with the Second City Improvisational Theater under the masterful Viola Spolin where Z mastered the art of improvisation and communications. She then later studied theater at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. Later, Z moved to California where she opened up a candle and book store in Venice, California. There she brought forward her Hungarian heritage and traditions, which included reading tarot cards. In 1974, she was arrested for fortune telling as a result of reading tarot cards, and that lead to her being the last person to be tried for witchcraft in the United States. Ultimately, those outdated laws were over-turned as a result of her fortitude. Z found herself immersed within the feminist culture with the likes of such notable women as her friend Gloria Steinem. She grew as a feminist during the time of her legal battles with reading tarot. It was these two powerful influences that inspired Z to author ten internationally published books on the topics of Women's Spirituality. Ultimately, Z is accredited with the founding and propagation of the Women's Spirituality Movement, which continues to thrive to this day. Z has led rituals, lectured, taught classes, given workshops, written articles tirelessly, and published in hundreds of women's newspapers across the country. She has powerfully influenced many of the future teachers and writers about the Goddess. In the eighties, Z created a TV show called 13th Heaven and it ran for seven years. She acts as the director of the Women's Spirituality Forum, a nonprofit organization sponsoring a monthly lecture series in the Bay Area about the Goddess, spirituality retreats, and annual spiral dances on Halloween. Z founded and sponsors the Dianic University (www.Dianic-Wicca.com).
