Meet our Board of Directors
Rev. Dr. Rain Juvoli
Founder and Director of Pilgrim's Gate
Dr Juvoli is a retired Naturopathic Physician, massage therapist and a Certified Image Analyst. She has been deeply involved in the study and practice of Holistic Wellness and Metaphysics for over 30 years. Her expertise includes holistic medicine, herbology, aromatherapy, energy healing, use of stones and crystals, astrology, tarot, face reading, palmistry and pendulum work. She is also an ordained SHES Minister. Teaching and sharing knowledge has been her passion throughout her career.
Dr. Juvoli has studied healing techniques from many cultures including Native American and South Pacific Islander. She is a gifted energy worker, psychic and medical intuitive with over 30 years of experience. Pilgrim's Gate is the manifestation of her dream to share her deep knowledge and gifts with others.
Gradually she realized that the world today does not have a place where people can gain a basic education in metaphysics before deciding where they wish to specialize. Pilgrim's Gate is her answer to this lack. "To embark on a magical journey, you first go through the Pilgrim's Gate and then onward to where your own spirit calls."
Rain is available for private readings in the Phoenix/Tucson area.
She also reads at public events and other venues.

Adjunct Faculty and Council of Elders
Rev. Bill, NCGR
Dean of Astrology
Bill's journey into astrology began after purchasing a paperback book on his sign. The information in that book prompted him to undertake a deeper look into astrology. It proved to be a compelling study that opened his mind as a key opens a lock. Since that encounter in 1975, Bill continues to be a student and practitioner. His education consists in part of completing NCGR (National Center for Geocosmic Research) Level II certification, continued independent study and attendance at lectures and workshops presented by internationally renowned astrologers.
Bill is an adept Reader of Tarot, and is available for readings through Pilgrim's Gate. He is a skilled photographer and has traveled widely to get exquisite pictures of ancient, sacred places in Western Europe and Ireland. Some of them are available for purchase. The Door logo for Pilgrim's Gate is from one of his photos.
Bill is also an ordained SHES minister.
Bill reads at public events and other venues.

Ember Berton-Reilly
Directory Coordinator for Pilgrim's Gate
Coordinator of Handcrafted Items for Bohemian Dreams Market
Ember is a magical self-proclaimed “wacky chick” who has spent many years creating art with natural objects. For the last 7 years, she has focused on creating wheat (and lavender) weaving which combines her love of folklore with her love of art. In addition, Ember creates handmade tarot bags, pouches for crystals and other special items, and hand-blended magical salves and massage oils. All of her work can be made to order. (See Ember's work at "Bohemiam Dreams", our spirited shopping experience.)
This past year, she and her husband moved to the Pacific Northwest where they are enjoying the beautiful trees, gardening and creating Faerie houses. They live in Oregon with their two cats, one dog and several elves (who also enjoy the garden.)
Robert Korol
Rune - Magician
Robert's connection with the Elder Futhark goes back to the age of seven when childhood nightmares forced him into lucid dreaming, where he took control of both his dreams and his destiny. Traveling out of body to the places of Othala, his heritage was made transparent. At the age of eight his grandmother reported hearing him speak the old German language, “Ingval”, in his dreams. She, being a “Lechlieter “, (lamplighter), knew the significance of his journey and so became his spiritual guide.
Throughout his life, spirit has guided Robert toward an education in earth-science. Geology, specifically Stratigraphy, and Marine Geology , have given him great insight into how the Lay-lines of earth relate to the Wyrd of Runemajik. Wyrd as you should know, is the interconnection between all things, ie. “the web of life”.
Robert's connection to Wyrd and lay-lines, goes beyond mere education. He is an adept Well-witch, and a Tree-whisperer, as well as a power-point junkie! He has been a Rune maker since 1984, and is a reader upon request.
His goal here is not to make a living, but instead, to live his dream of being a facilitator, in every sense of the word. To that end, Pilgrim's Gate offers Robert's study course on Runes, free of charge. See our Course Catalog.

Hermit
For very advanced, post graduate work in magic, beyond the scope of Pilgrim's Gate, we suggest Hermit, Master Magician. We must emphasize that this is NOT elementary education. Study with Hermit is ONLY for the student who has mastered all available resources and needs access to very high level, "PhD" coursework. Do NOT approach this instructor if you are not already at an accomplished post graduate level. Contact Hermit at the Amasha Metaphysical Institute.
Hermit also conducts investigations related to metaphysical occurrences. For more information see his website: Paranormal Investigations.
