Paganicon 2025

Our daily lives are full of movement and interaction. We travel to work where we interact with countless people during the day. We visit our friends and family and discuss our joys and worries. We travel to the bank, to the post office, to the grocery store and we interact with all the various energies that exist within these spaces. As we interact with those positive and negative energies, we are simultaneously affected by them.
You can imagine this concept as a boat floating in the middle of the ocean. The boat is either balanced and peaceful or imbalanced and unstable depending on waves of the ocean around it. Similarly, the energy that you interact with can have a balancing or imbalancing affect on you. Unfortunately as an adult in our society, we often have less time to focus on positive energies leaving us to deal with stressful situations which often carry heavier negative energies.
Over time, negative energy can attach itself to our spirits and compound within us. Like a boat floating in the middle of the ocean, you can only be beaten around by negative waves for so long before you break. Whenever we experience the symptoms of built up negativity energies, we call it a crossed condition. This is where uncrossing methods come into play.
Uncrossing is an umbrella term used to describe any spiritual methods used to correct a build up of negative energy. There are three main ways one can become “crossed” and in need of an uncrossing. The first and most traditional is by being cursed or hexed. This is when negativity is sent by a practitioner in your direction. The second is by “stepping in something”. This is when you inadvertently are exposed to negative energy in your daily routine. The last way, and most common is by intentionally placing yourself in negative situations.
Although there is a big difference in how these conditions come about, the methods to correct them are often the same. The following is a short list of how one can incorporate uncrossing to create balance.
In the tradition of Hoodoo, performing an uncrossing ritual is believed to remove negative energy or crossed conditions that may be affecting a person's life.

My name is Faith. I have a Ancient History undergrad and intelligence Masters degree. I am also a writer and I have written a story that takes place in pre history and is the origin story for all the regions religions and cultures. The concept is creating a modern mythology. Mythology is more than fantasy or historical fiction. It takes what defines us as cultures and drives us as individuals. Mythology is every bit as powerful as any true story because you never really know how much truth there is in a legend. Join me in a discussion about crafting mythology for stories and learn how I took my historical and intelligence background to craft a modern mythology with ancient stories. You will be able to read the first volume in January 2025.

If how you relate to one thing is how you relate to everything, how are your relationships right now? How do you interact with deities? Do you want to? Irisanya Moon will talk about how to build better relationships with the self and deities (or however you call and experience divine), as well as how to shift when things aren't going well. Through these connections, we can better support ourselves, our magick, and our resilience. You can expect part lecture and part embodied experience (trance dance for all bodies) to help (re)expand your heart and restore your hope. These are times that require such magick.

We cannot have light without dark. Within the dark, renewal, and rebirth are possible. In the dark, all possibilities are available, and solutions revealed. In our shadows, miracles linger, and hope awaits us in the form of the Dark Goddess. Join Rev Emily for an exploration of the archetype of the Dark Goddess and how She supports us on our healing journey.

Dolls scare us, comfort us, and fascinated us. They are mundane play things and magickal tools. In this workshop, Heather Greene will share her own love of dolls and how you can work with them in magick and in life. How do you know if a doll is haunted? Can you enspirit a doll? What does any of that even mean? Heather will give you the basic tools and knowledge to begin seeing dolls with new eyes.

In this programming session, we will contact the Archangels to create a sacred space for shamanic self-healing. We will ground ourselves in history, then jump right into shamanic practice!

The approach will be one of unconditional love for yourself. You will learn to call upon the Archangels when you need quick answers and assistance in your daily life, to build an angelic altar, and to contact the angels to guide and support you in a powerful and heart-centered path.
