As the daughter-disciple of India's most celebrated Wiccan Ipsita Roy Chakraverti, the world of the mysterious and the magical has always been a part of Deepta's life. From her Wiccan mother Ipsita, Deepta has learnt the art of exploration of other worlds and delving into ancient mysteries. From her, Deepta has also learnt the importance of being an individual and the power that it carries. For, in India, delving into the unexplained requires both an understanding of the subject, as well as the strength to go forward fearlessly in the face of a doubting society. In the orthodox world, Deepta is a lawyer from King's College London and also has a first degree in Mathematics Hons from Delhi University. She has worked in the corporate and legal arena for ten years before returning to her first love?what her mother taught her. Deepta now conducts regular classes on the ancient world and its magical traditions for the Wiccan Brigade's Golden Ankh Study Circle.
