Embracing the Moon: A Pathway to the Divine

Thursday February 20, 2025 8:30pm - 10:00pm EST

Feedback Survey

As the Moon traverses the starry skies, she travels through her phases and frequencies, mirroring the ever-changing rhythms of our world. When we attune our consciousness to these cosmic energies, we gracefully deepen our connection to All That is Holy, aligning ourselves with the Divine, both within and without. In a sacred ceremony facilitated by Lunar High Priestess Lady Jesamyn and Cista Mystica Priestesses, we shall honor the Moon Mother in Her guise as the Goddess Selene. Reflecting upon our own inner Truth, we will connect with Her sacred waters and pour out libations in Her name. Under Her loving gaze and with focused Vision, we will energize our goals and our intentions for growth. With thankfulness, we will express our gratitude for the Moon’s never-ending witness of our lives.

Kabbalat Shabbat - Welcoming the Shekhina

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

Feedback Survey

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.

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

Feedback Survey

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.

Feedback Survey

Magic in modern Heathenry takes a variety of forms, perhaps none more accessible than the ones that use our mouths and voices. Galdr, ljóð, kvæði, gerningar, varðlokkur, and frœði: songs, chants, incantations, poems, alliteration, and mumbling, which are just a few forms Heathen Mouth Magic can take. Through these magical acts we can engage in spiritual hygiene, call vættir (spirits), work with the Runes, perform enchantment, make protections, and empower ourselves and others. This workshop is interactive, taking you through an overview of what remains to us through written sources, and how to apply it to make your own magic.

Do you feel the potential energy in spiritual cleansing & purification? Perhaps you’ve dabbled in purification practices and want to go deeper.
