Onyx

Having been raised Baptist primarily, Onyx (Rev. Chuck Chapman) stepped into the initiatory circle over 30 years ago not long after joining the military service. During the next decade, he focused on learning as much as could from his traditions teachings, and any other material he could find. He worked with many different Pagan traditions and a couple of magical lodges, in the United States and Europe.

Onyx left the military in 1995 and opened a metaphysical shop in his hometown, which doubled as a Pagan learning and community center. During this time, he also co-founded a traditionally styled temple. A few years later, the store was lost to fire. During this period, he left the temple he had helped found.

Through the next decade, Onyx took independent students and also founded two more covens on his own. In the early 00's, he joined a very public tradition where he continued to work until 2016. During his time with this tradition, he established a proto-temple, taught students through all three degrees, established a religious order within that tradition, worked with two other orders and a department. He also has BA and MA in psychology, with a specialization in conflict resolution.

During his time with this tradition, he received an invitation and accepted a position as a panelist with an online radio network. Soon after that, he established his own radio network that produced a weekly show. After leaving the original network, he partnered with another Priest and managed a network where he hosted two shows a week and co-hosted another. Shortly after leaving this network, he was asked to lead International Pagan Radio. He gladly accepted this request.

In March of 2016, he partnered with William Brigley to take over full financial responsibilities for International Pagan Radio. His management duties continue in conjunction with his partner.

Onyx enjoys the internet radio business and is dedicated to establishing community by helping to tear down walls and build bridges. He is an advocate of peace while realizing that conflict is necessary for growth. He believes that conflict does not need to devolve into violence, bias, or hatred. Humanitarian resolution of conflict and a greater community that is more inclusive, rather than exclusive, is a dream for which he works.

Onyx continues to work with people to help bring this vision to be. He also believes that once enough of us can see this concept as a reality and a way of life, that we will reach a sort of terminal mass. At this point, evolution will sweep over the entire race. Onyx challenges folks to be involved as we evolve. He often references the starfish on the beach story, and the hundredth monkey theory. He often says, "One starfish at a time, until the hundredth monkey." Onyx hosts the show Fireside with Onyx.

Also be sure to join Rev. Onyx for his podcast Ponderings of a Pagan Priest.

William Brigley

From Queensland, Nova Scotia, William Brigley comes from a diverse religious background, having explored various paths over the years, including earth-based belief systems. Years ago, he was also a columnist for a Pagan magazine.

As a columnist, he researched various peer-reviewed journals, publications and legitimate sources on the topics of archaeology, anthropology and other fields and how it relates to modern Paganism. This monthly column was to be called Visions of the Past and designed to fill a niche in helping settle misconceptions and bring these discoveries to the forefront.

Later, he was invited as a Guest Host on Rev. Onyx’s Lady of the Circle in the Oaks blog talk radio show. Shortly thereafter he would turn Visions of the Past into a weekly talk show. A self-taught graphic designer, he has done graphic work for various groups, including for International Pagan Radio and many others.

Currently, he is the Media Manager and web developer for International Pagan Radio. William hopes to continue his work in internet radio and with bringing his information to the many communities. Together with his wife Tracey, he co-hosts the Top 20 Hottest Hits.
