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.

No doubt over the years -- decades even -- you've acquired not only books and documents, but tools and art to fill your Pagan home and heart. But have you given thought to what will become of that stuff when you're gone? It's a very real question. Sure, you can donate books, or upcycle clothing, but what about that bog oak wand you paid a pretty sum for? Or all those rocks from rituals that are piling up in your house that are ritually sacred but you can't recall why. (Most of that does not belong in an archive; you aren't Raymond Buckland and don't deserve a museum; and don't think your students or coven sibs will take them, they have their own stuff.) A pressing issue as time moves on, let's talk about magical object acquisition and release.
When we set pen to paper, power is released. It is a major tool in cognitive therapy, helping to understand and release the wounds we carry. In the hands of a shaman or a witch, the pen facilitates discussions with the future and hidden selves; it shapes our wild desires into concrete manifestations, becoming the fire of transformation itself. In this workshop, you will infuse and bless your personal pen of Will, hiding in its core a message from your soul that draws the wild magik into reality, shaping your desired life. With focused intention, we will explore how movement, myth and music can change your writing in a single moment as you claim a powerful tool to honor a life well lived. #Movement, sounding, writing.
