9:30am EST

A Personal Mythology

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

We are all familiar with the trials and heroic deeds of Hercules. We have heard many legends of the gods altering mortals' lives. These stories now can seem remote and historically entertaining, but they were teaching stories for people to become aware of the gods working within and through them. We all have a bit of the Hero inside. We all have the God/dess within. We each have some awareness of how we affect the world around us. So what is your story? What do you believe about who you are? Re-examine aspects of your life through the lens of myth and create a teaching story with you as the main character.

Pop-Craft: Adapting Media to Real Magical Practice

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

Elizabeth Ann 1

Ever wish you could do the things we see on TV or read in books? Have you ever pretended to open an automatic door with the 'Force,' or mumbled a 'Power of Three' spell under your breath? Perhaps you've waved a wand around wishing the brooms and mops would clean your house on their own (without the flooding). Pop Culture witchcraft is an undeniable influence on magic, the occult, and paganism. This class will discuss tools, tips, and tricks to adapting the fantastical to real, personal, and powerful magical practice. We will discuss how Terry Pratchett wrote the gold standard of witchcraft; how to cast a protection using the original Charmed; as well as how to rethink magical theory via Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.

Castles of Moonlight & Crystal: Building Out the Locus

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

Elizabeth Ann 1

The Locus, being a world of its own and a place where the practitioner may generate, potentize, and grow their personal power, changes with the practitioner's needs. Primary among the features found there is the Interior Palace, the set of power and fulcrum within this personal kingdom. In this class, learn how to work and interact with the Locus, to build it out, and to enter and equip the Crystal Castle to best suit the magic that the practitioner pursues. Students will be lead on a guided journey and exploration of their Locus and given pointers and advice on how to better learn to traverse its length and depths.
