Life and career

Eaton was born in Illinois. She is a professional actress and singer, best known for her performances in the original Broadway cast of the musical Hair and its original cast album; she later sang the blues professionally.[4] As a member of Doric Wilson's theater company TOSOS (The Other Side of Silence) in the 1970s, she acted in Wilson's plays Now She Dances![2] and Street Theater.[3]

After her time on Broadway, in the mid-1970s Eaton migrated to the San Francisco Bay Area, becoming a third degree priestess in New Reformed Orthodox Order of the Golden Dawn.[citation needed] She practiced in the West Coast craft tradition and the California revival of Ordo Templi Orientis.[5]

She contributed to an early Ar nDraiocht Fein (ADF) ritual[6] and published the music and lyrics of the songs on the album Avalon is Rising![7] Her magical background ranges from Golden Dawn and Ordo Templi Orientis material[8] to Wiccan and Druidic styles, and she has presented lectures, rituals and performances at Neo-Pagan events.[citation needed]
