Not even a witch can always predict the strange turns that life will take. Dancing under the full moon beside a luminous sea, newly engaged to a man she first dated three decades earlier, Fiona Horne was taken by surprise.
Finding love in her 50s, in the middle of a global pandemic, was the last thing on the former Def FX singer’s mind.
“But you never can tell,” jokes Fiona, a multitalented musician, bestselling author, white witch, fire dancer and commercial pilot. “I feel like sometimes I’m just along for my own ride.”
At the beginning of last year, Fiona, 54, was happily single and had said farewell to the Caribbean – her home for the past four years.
There, she was flying for a small charter airline.
Packing her bags, Fiona relocated to California for an exciting job opportunity.
Suddenly, COVID-19 struck and the day after meeting her new boss, the state was in lockdown. Fiona was grounded for the foreseeable future. A lesser woman might have been crushed. Not Fiona!
“As a witch, I truly believe life is not random, that we are presented with these obstacles – not to show us how weak we are – but how strong and resourceful we can be,” she tells New Idea.
