Light Trance Methods For Anchoring Divine Beings

Saturday February 22, 2025 9:30am - 11:00am EST

Actual divine embodiment, drawing down, aspecting and so on is best taught in person. However there are techniques that can be taught at a distance that can improve your capacity to call upon divine beings, anchor them in a ritual, and to some degree act as their conduit. The same methods taught in this class can be applied to invocations, petitions, and more. Additionally, this class can help prepare you for divine embodiment if it is new to you or deepen your existing practice.

Sacred Spaces and Divine Faces for Modern Life

Saturday February 22, 2025 11:30am - 1:00pm EST

Conference Room A

Magic books & teachers present us with the lore of sacred spaces: the Crossroads, the Seashore, the Cemetery, the clearing in the grove...these types of places are recognizable to most magicians & Pagans, as places of power. But what about airports? Train stations? Street lamps? What modern spaces hold natural characteristics which give them an affinity with magic & how can they fit into our sacred & magical experiences? Just as there are places that didn't exist when most concepts of magic were developing, the world is full of new technologies & experiences as well. How do we explore their spiritual components to understand what powers rule over things like cars & computers? In this class we will explore the magic of the modern & how to explore traditional associations to build new ones.

Hellenic Household Practice: Modern Adaptations

Saturday February 22, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm EST

Conference Room A

The central social unit of society is the household, but we are in a time in which the oikos has a different shape and form than in Ancient Greece. This workshop explores both ancient practice and modern adaptations to build a meaningful and relevant practice for today. Learn about the deities and spirits of the household, how to build a household shrine, and how to make a kadiskos to bless the household’s wealth. Gwendolyn will also share some reinterpreted rites to bless the household and its members, including rituals to bring spiritual meaning to life transitions. Household practice brings the sacred consciously into everyday life in ways that are both profound and transformative.

Conference Room A

Standing at the Threshold: The Spirits, Lore, and Transformational Magics of the Doorway
Many who have an inclination towards magic may not have a room or dedicated space set aside for performing spellwork and ritual workings. However, most of us have a front door, and it is here that we are invited to engage with and perhaps re-enchant a part of our homes which is often taken for granted except when we find ourselves locked out or fumbling with our keys. In this talk we will explore the front doorway of our home as a locus for spirit work, practical charming, and magical workings. We will examine diverse perspectives, folklore, and approaches towards engaging with our doorway as a nexus of power and potentiality.
