Money-Drawing Magic

Friday March 21, 2025 10:30am - 12:00pm CDT

Although money is necessary in our physical world, it is often spoken about as being something negative or bad. In our society, money is thought of as a limited resource, which creates feelings of scarcity and fear in the majority of us. Prosperity in a spiritual context is not limited, but instead, it is an infinite and free-flowing stream of energy that can be accessed by anyone at any time. The first step to taking advantage of this limitless resource is to identify any deep rooted negative emotions you might have towards prosperity, which is admittedly easier said than done. Without correcting these systemic roadblocks, there is no type or amount of magic that could improve your situation in any sustainable way.

A Hand in the Dark: Psychopomps as Guides in Times of Crisis and Anxiety

Friday March 21, 2025 10:30am - 12:00pm CDT

COPENHAGEN (AV)

Defined in ancient Greek as the “guides of souls”, psychopomps have traditionally bridged the physical and non-physical worlds. Stemming from a similar root, psychology can be defined as the “study of the soul”, serving to bridge conscious and unconscious awareness. In an age marked by increased anxiety, depression, mental illness, and suicide, this presentation explores the roles and characteristics of these guides through the dark that can offer a sense of direction and hope.

Healing Wounds, Finding Insight: Using Tarot for Emotional Insight and Trauma Recovery

Friday March 21, 2025 10:30am - 12:00pm CDT

CONFERENCE ROOM G (AV)

This workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to explore the healing potential of tarot as a tool for reflection, emotional insight, and growth. Led by a licensed clinical psychologist and trauma specialist, participants will learn how to use tarot to support trauma recovery in a safe and structured environment. Tarot cards serve as powerful symbols for processing emotions, gaining personal insight, and fostering self-healing. The workshop will introduce specific tarot spreads that are carefully designed to address themes of trauma recovery, emotional awareness, and personal empowerment. Participants will gain practical tools for using tarot in a therapeutic way, without the need for prior experience or sharing personal trauma. To ensure an optimal learning space for everyone, the workshop is structured to be informative and experiential, rather than a venue for processing or discussing individual trauma narratives. The focus will remain on the reflective power of tarot, promoting emotional insight and healing while maintaining a supportive and balanced atmosphere. This trauma-informed approach to tarot is designed to empower individuals to use the cards as a means of personal growth. Through this hands-on learning experience, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how tarot can be integrated into a self-healing practice, offering insight and clarity for their journey toward recovery.

The Twins of Time: Cycles and Lines in Magical Work

Friday March 21, 2025 10:30am - 12:00pm CDT

CONFERENCE ROOM H

When looking at doing magical work and making profound change in your life, timing is an important condition to consider. We can only do magic in the present moment, but that moment is defined by all that has come before and what we imagine is to come. That moment is also one station in a great cycle that repeats again and again. This workshop will offer an experiential practice to find ourselves in linear and cyclical time, and use the powers of each to manifest the spiral, empowering us to make change in accordance with will.

Pagan, polytheist, and magickal communities naturally draw many seekers from the fringes of society, including people who are nonbinary, genderqueer, agender, and transgender. How can communities co-create spaces that are not just welcoming, but affirming, of non-cisgender people? Panelists will discuss ways in which their gender identity interacts with their magickal work, and practical suggestions for magickal communities to think “beyond the binary” in symbols, ritual, and structure.

Dreaming Practices of the Maker Shamanic Tradition

Friday March 21, 2025 1:00pm - 2:15pm CDT

CONFERENCE ROOM G (AV)

“The dreaming body is that part of ourselves that is wild and uncontrollable, but houses our totality, or the rest of it, as well as our animal natures, knowledge without reason, seeing without sight - it is the part of us denied a place at the table since birth.” ~ Gary Mills Lorrie Adams will present an overview of the dreaming practices of the Maker shamanic tradition. Learn how Makers understand dreaming as an energy that one can learn to access and control. This will not be a discussion about how to have precognitive dreams, do dream interpretation or attain lucidity in dreaming. The focus of Maker dreaming practices goes deeper than these practices, although it could include them. The intent for Makers in dreaming is to ultimately move beyond the complex imagery of our dreaming minds and into the energy of dreaming itself. We will discuss how Makers seek to tear through the fabric of dreaming, which is made up of ones own reason, or rather the energy of our reason, in order to access what's behind that dreaming fabric.

It's great to study them, to use them in divination, or to sing them...but adding the creation of runic postures brings the entire being in alignment with these sacred letter shapes. Taking note of where we feel them in the body and what they bring up for us is a great pathway to spiritual discovery. All levels of mobility and experience are welcome as we stretch and breathe together in runic unity. Books will be available but are not necessary to enjoy this workshop.

This workshop discusses a suburban witchcraft practice by offering spells, mantras and other tools. Suburban life experience is just as magickal and spiritual as any others. Join me as we discuss the many advantages of being the witch next door. We suburban witches absolutely have an equal place at the witchcraft table.

An Overview of the Magickal Persona

Friday March 21, 2025 2:30pm - 3:45pm CDT

EUROPA - GOH (AV)

There are many traditions and teachings that include the creation of a magickal persona as a part of the training of a practitioner. This is sometimes referred to as the magickal personality, the magick self, and other similar terms. There is a great deal of variation in how the magickal persona is used and described in different systems so do not assume that practitioners mean the same thing even if the same words are used. The rationales for the methods applied to the construction of the magickal persona tend to be divergent as well. When used well it enhances your power, your presence, and offers protection. This class will cover different approaches, benefits, and risks associated with the use of a magickal persona.

How can psychetherapy be engaged in ways that bring healing-magic to all domains: mind-body-relationship-environment-soul-spirit?

Queer Rites of Passage in Magickal Practice

Friday March 21, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm CDT

CONFERENCE ROOM F (AV)

Queer people undergo many unique rites of passage in our journeys to become our authentic selves, from coming out to taking our first dose of hormones to celebrating chosen family. How can we honor these important milestones with a magickal ritual in a way that’s personal, profound, powerful, and affirming? In this workshop, we’ll look at techniques and ideas for potent rite of passage rituals for a wide variety of queer magickal practitioners, and end with a guided meditation for participants to find more ideas to craft their own rituals.

CONFERENCE ROOM I

Our is focus is to find confidence as you step into a priestess, ritual leader or public speaking role in ritual within any tradition. Together we explore finding the right words or visual action as well as focusing on grounding, presence, voice and physical effectiveness. The goal is not make everyone boom out like a “theatrical actor” but to “own” your offer and your presence with confidence and resonance. I am an experienced performance professional and professor, ritualist and Reclaiming priestess. I want to see you shine and hear your voice. We are the people we have been waiting for!

Pouring Water Ritual: Kispum a Modern Pagan Approach to Grief

Friday March 21, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm CDT

CONFERENCE ROOM D RITUALS

Kispum is a ritual of relationships with the dead that began in Sumerian/Akkadian (2500 BCE) culture and continues today. The workshop explores practices and one-part rituals for the Pagan and occult communities to maintain connections with departed loved ones and honor ancestors. I incorporate the Continuing Bonds Theory as a modern (1970s) alternative to the Western Detachment Theory of "letting go" of the dead. This perspective embraces the idea of ongoing relationships beyond death, focusing on rituals, commemorations, and sacred practices that sustain these connections. My modern take emphasizes the significance of these enduring ties, providing insight into how such traditions and rituals within Pagan spirituality foster a sense of continuity and reverence for the deceased within the living world. It is a living practice with prayers that have ancient roots but are designed for seekers in modern times. The session includes an optional pouring water ritual, to which attendees are welcome to participate. Come with the names of beloved dead. The ritual will be explained.

7 Pillars of Darkness: The Passages to Medusa-Gorgo

Friday March 21, 2025 8:00pm - 9:30pm CDT

CONFERENCE ROOM D RITUALS

Step into the heart of darkness and lurch through the passages….only this time, it is not to slay Medusa. No, it will be to commune with Her; to encounter the power of untamed beauty, ancient rage, and transformation. Medusa, the once-beautiful maiden cursed by the gods, now stands as a symbol of defiance, shadow, and deep feminine power. Not just for women….for anyone who dares to embrace the chaos & allure to confront themselves in the eyes of the serpent-headed Goddess. This Medusa Ritual may not be for the faint of heart. It is a powerful and immersive confrontation with the shadows within—the suppressed rage, the buried pain, and the desires that lie coiled beneath the surface. We will proceed through a series of ritual invocations, offering, a dark meditation, and the summoning of the Medusian menagerie. Medusa embodies the raw, unchecked force of the feminine current - beautiful, terrifying, and misunderstood. She is not a monster, yet she is a Queen of monsters. Medusa’s darkness can offer you a passage to transformation, where your sorrows and rage can become sources of great wisdom and strength! For the ritual, you may bring small stones or crystals of colors: white, black, pink, grey. They will be charged for you during the ritual.
