8:30pm EST

Meeting the God Soul

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

We all have a spark of the divine that resides within us. The more we strive to fulfill our soul’s purpose and follow our higher calling, the more we can align and tap into our God Soul, thus cultivating more purpose in our day to day lives. Together we will create a guide to connect us with our divine selves. There is no clear cut “do this, then this, and boom enlightenment”, it’s actually completely unique to the individual and will look different for everyone. We will discuss different tools, systems and techniques to prepare you to embark on this journey, including your birth chart, specifically discussing the Nodes of Fate, as well as shadow work, yoga, meditation and the divine breath to chart a bespoke course to the inner divine.

A Personal Mythology

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

Elizabeth Ann 1

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.

Elizabeth Ann 1

Sefer HaOtot ("Book of Seals") is a never-before-translated, never-before-published Hebrew manuscript of Solomonic seals which may be among the most complete and intact transmissions of the famed planetary pentacles. In this lecture, you'll learn about the manuscript and its history. Then, we'll talk about the process of translating and midwifing a new grimoire into the world. Finally, you'll get to see one seal from the book. Some familiarity with Solomonic magic is useful, but not required. This will be a bookish class - if you're not a nerd you probably won't enjoy it.

Heathen Mouth Magic: Singing with Runes and Spirits

Sunday February 23, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm EST

Elizabeth Ann 1

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.
