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.

In this ritual-meets-workshop, we’ll use the mythology of the Cauldrons of Poesy as a guide to experience how simple movements, altar work, and visualization techniques can invigorate our magical practice regardless of age, ability, experience, or tradition. These Cauldrons help us connect the mind, body, and spirit, aiding us to become more present in our physical and emotional selves – which in turn empowers our magical practice. Accessible to all.

Discusses divination tools found in nature; I also share stories about the first 3 divination tools Scott and I ever learned. Geared more toward new practitioners.

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.

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.

Let us dive into the complex and enchanting world of Witchcraft and magic within a Welsh cultural context. During this presentation we will learn about the rather peculiar relationship the Welsh had with Witchcraft, traditional magical practices carried out throughout history, and even how this unassuming and often overlooked nation had a rather huge influence on the development of modern Pagan Witchcraft. From women using their breasts to curse horrid men, to enchanted cheese used as a form of lie detector, we will delve into it all!

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.
