Treadin the Path to the Divine with Elen of the Ways

Friday February 21, 2025 9:30am - 11:00am EST

Garden Marquee

Elen of the Ways is a shamanic crossroads deity. As an antlered Fire goddess, transformation and soul journeys are her purview. Just as her herds migrate, Elen guides humans on the path of life. Many roads in Britain were named after Elen, and after becoming Christianized, she became the patron Saint of roadbuilders and travelers. Let Elen guide you on your soul journey to the divine! Whether you are a seasoned practitioner, or just starting out on your path, Elen’s wisdom and guidance will aide your “migration.” Part instruction and part ritual, this class includes a guided meditation for you to explore your pathway. After the conclusion, you will be able to take Elen’s light with you into the mundane world so your journey continues.

Breaking Your Bonds Community Ritual

Friday February 21, 2025 11:30am - 1:00pm EST

Garden Marquee

Many of us now stand at a crossroads. We know that what is happening in our life is not working anymore, but we don't know how to move forward. Maybe the task of creating change seems unimaginable, or maybe we can't see any alternatives. This ritual is designed to magically and psychologically break bonds that are binding us to unhealthy and unfulfilling situations. Warning: this ritual has been known to produce massive change in the lives of those who participate in it. Change is often painful and scary, but instructions will be given in class for ways to word and shape intentions to create the reality you know is waiting for you.

What happens when Kate Mura of GroupTarot gives a Tarot reading to an entire audience? Find out!

Last year overlaying Yesod with the group reading was so potent, I want to offer it again this year! Every experience is different, as every Tarot reading and individual is different. And yet! Common themes, and a shared path unite us. Stories, anecdotes, conversation, philosophy, questions, history and herstory come out specifically for your audience, your day, your season. You are involved. By picking cards, conversing, asking questions, and actively, compassionately listening. I am so excited for this year's Tarot Show overlay with Malkuth, as one of tarot's superpowers is showing us our next tangible steps, which we'll find together.

Using 4 Realms of Magick

Friday February 21, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm EST

Dragon Tradition differentiates 4 realms of magick. Natural Magick: Using the magick in the world around us. Psychic Magick: Using magick related to consciousness and astral dynamics. Spirit Magick: Working with the other side. Authority Magick: Directly Influencing Reality. Intentionally practicing each can bring greater power, understanding and purpose. During this workshop we will perform multiple different spells to explore these realms while presenting highlights and goalposts to take meaningful steps in our personal Magickal practices.

Kabbalat Shabbat - Welcoming the Shekhina

Friday February 21, 2025 5:45pm - 8:30pm EST

Auditorium 2

Shabbat (sabbath) is the Jewish celebration of Rest. When Friday’s sun sets, we enter into the day of Shabbatai (ie, Saturn’s day), and celebrate that we are not slaves, but free people. No master, no boss, no mundane compulsion can make us work today. “The Sabbaths are our great cathedrals; and our Holy of Holies is a shrine that neither the Romans nor the Germans were able to burn.. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation, from the world of creation to the creation of the world.” I will explain & translate the ritual; then anyone who wants to participate can.

CommUnity Ritual

Friday February 21, 2025 7:00pm - 8:30pm EST

Garden Marquee

This CommUnity ritual was performed for the first time at ConVocation 2024. It was created by Pat Camarena Rose Barbary and Sage Hart along with others with the hope that it would be performed each year. In alignment with the mission of ConVocation, we hope to weave a feeling and belonging even within our diversity. We create a togetherness by celebrating all our differences in ritual space. The holly branch that holds the tokens of our joint efforts the first year will be returned and expanded upon this year. There will be drumming and some movement and song. In our ritual space, each quarter and all other offices are led by various groups or leaders of different paths to represent our unity as a diverse but coherent community of magickal and spiritual practitioners. This year, Mara Evenstar is joining Pat and Sage in leadership.

Invoking the Archangel of the Earth

Friday February 21, 2025 9:00pm - 10:30pm EST

Garden Marquee

The Initiation of Malkuth, a key step on the path of many magickal traditions, is some form of Knowledge and Conversation of your Holy Guardian Angel, either an outside force or an inner higher soul, this being guides the magician upon the path of illumination. Just as we have an angel, so does the Earth herself, taking many forms in magick and mythos. Seen as Michael, Gabriel, Sandalphon, Uriel, Lumiel, Melek Taus, and more, an angel above or an angel below, and angel within or an angel all around, we seek the Archangel of the collective humanity and the Archangel of the planet in which we are one of many parts. Through this invocation, in an act of sympathetic magick upon ourselves to the world, we cleanse the collective miasmas, we heal the many wounds, invoke our own Bornless selves, and we manifest collective guidance for humanity, becoming the angel for ourselves, each other, and all the worlds.

Womb Shamanism: An Inward Path to the Divine

Friday February 21, 2025 9:00pm - 10:30pm EST

Womb Shamanism in the Rose Lineage tradition is a deeply feminine, deeply embodied path to the Divine. All are invited to explore the power and potency within their own sacred wombs in this experiential playshop. (You are truly welcome here - beings of all genders have an energetic womb space.) We’ll chat about the sacred, sordid history (and disparagement) of womb work, play with some practices to enhance our personal power and connection to the divine, and explore what womb sovereignty looks like in the modern age. Mature audience only, as topics may include sacred union, sacred sexuality, and the sacred whore.
