Marissa J. Schweiker, HP
Ordained Minister in Aberdeen, North Carolina
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My path to ministry wasn't a sudden choice—it was a natural continuation of my life's journey. I was born and raised into my faith tradition and have been an active practitioner for over 40 years, focusing specifically on spiritual education and developmental roles for the past 15 years.
My background is deeply rooted in the traditional healing, herbal arts, ritual work, divination, and Spiritualism of North Umbria (English/Scottish borderlands/highlands.) For me, becoming ordained online was a modern, practical bridge. It provided the formal and legal recognition necessary to take a lifetime of deep spiritual study and ancestral practice out into the wider world, allowing me to officially serve, support, and celebrate communities, families, and couples whenever and wherever I am called to do so.
Where are you from?
My religious beliefs, background and education are derived from the borderlands/highlands between England and Scotland (North Umbria). My training began before I can even remember and was extensive in healing, herbal arts, rituals, divination and Spiritualism.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
To walk my path and serve however and whenever I am called to.

Beyond traditional officiant duties, I bring a lifelong familiarity with sacred rituals, energy work, and elemental blessings.

I approach every service with a focus on creating a grounded, intentional, and deeply resonant space for everyone involved.
