David DeLane Snow was raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses for thirteen years. After he married his wife, Alice Irene Smith, in 1982, DeLane became a Southern Baptist. During that time DeLane was a Sunday school teacher, certified Lay minister, and attended the Howard Payne University Seminary extension of Corpus Christi, Texas towards becoming a pastor. After three years of study, he never completed that training, and later entered military service as a Chaplain's Assistant in the Texas Army National Guard during the Desert Storm conflict, remaining stateside. Having never seen combat he was later honorably discharged in 1998 upon completion of his enlistment.
Being discouraged and disillusioned with organized religious pretenses DeLane perceived of Christianity, he dropped out of his religious studies and began to explore the Occult, and Paganism in particular for 15 years. For two of those years, he was in a Wiccan group, a neo-pagan revisionist of modern witchcraft; having been initiated into a Coven. After 2012 DeLane forsook any religious affiliation but retained his interests in such spiritual, psychological, and philosophical reasonings of how and why people became involved in such matters. However, his experiences were heavily drawn upon for much of his imaginative writings and illustrations.
