They Put a Spell on You, and Now You're (NOT) Theirs

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

Conference Room E

We love movies, TV, books, podcasts, and social media, but are they harming us as much as they are helping us? In this class, metaphysical practitioner Rachel of the Rose and psychological operations researcher Evan Follmar join forces to teach you how these mediums (double meaning intended) help to bring through spells, curses, hexes, bindings, egregores, and spiritual attachments that we unknowingly “consent” to just by turning on our devices… and how you can protect yourself whilst still enjoying the screens and content that you love! In alignment with this year’s theme of Malkuth, this class will help you to root down into discernment, as well as rise up in connection with the Divine to help you stand in your own divine sovereignty in mental, physical, and spiritual health.
