My name is Jai Mohan. I use he/him/his, xe/xem/xir, and ze/hir/hirs pronouns interchangeably.

I’m a multi-media artist working at the intersection of art, spirituality, and advocacy. The bulk of my publicly available work is music and poetry; occasionally I make excursions into theatre, visual/sculptural art, and herbalism with a focus on fragrance formulation.

I am pagan and animist, coming from a cultural background of Buddhism and Hinduism; my lived experience is in Heathenry, and I have a deep love of its lore and artistic community. I am interested in polytheistic monasticism, ecstatic practices and trance work, group ritual, and the crossover between spirituality and art.

I am desi, queer, trans, and multiply disabled. These identities inform my work. Building inclusive Heathen spaces is deeply important to me, and I strive to create a practice that includes and celebrates all people.

I live on Lenape land in New York with my two cats.
