Classes offered regularly
ELEMENTS OF MAGIC
Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit—we will work with the
elements in sacred
space, learning tools and techniques for creating effective
rituals.
This is the first class in the Reclaiming Tradition of Witchcraft
(co-founded
by Starhawk). It is recommended for those who would
like to
learn to create sacred space and rituals in any tradition as well as
those
who want to work more intensively in the Reclaiming
Tradition.
Skills developed include sensing energy, invoking, visualization,
chanting,
spellcrafting, trance and working with Goddess & God
stories.
Prior to class, we ask that you read the first 6 chapters of Starhawk's
Spiral Dance, as well as some other articles. Let
us know you
would be interested in this class and we will schedule once we have a
group. Sliding scale is typically $90 - 180.
PENTACLE OF IRON
Using our magical skills, moving and shaping energy, transforming
ourselves
through trance to explore the five points of our inner pentacle Sex
(primal
energy), Self, Passion, Pride (self-esteem), and Power (effectiveness
in
the worlds). This class adds much depth to personal and
magical work.
It includes shadow work and working with inflated/deflated/core
self.
Applicants need to commit to attending all class sessions. Prerequisite
Elements of Magic class (or equivalent with instructor
permission). Sliding scale is typically
$90 - 180.
PENTACLE OF PEARL
We will work with the deep, healing energies of the Pentacle of Pearl,
moving through the five points: Love, Law, Wisdom, Power and
Knowledge. Prerequisite: Reclaiming Elements of
Magic. We strongly suggest taking Pentacle of Iron first as
well. Sliding scale is typically $90 -
180.
MYSTERY &
MAGIC
This is an ongoing advanced class that meets once each month (usually
the first Saturday of the month). Prerequisites are Elements
of Magic,
Pentacle of Iron and permission of instructor. Participants
commit
to the class for a year and a day. We cover the cornerstones
of group
work, shadow work, advanced priestessing skills, pentacle
work, working
with ecstatic states, finding the God/dess who calls you, aspecting,
drumming,
preparing to teach, sensing and shaping energy, and many other
activities
and skills. Class size limited.
RITES OF PASSAGE
Rites of Passage focuses on dreams, myths and language, using
traditional
and non-traditional tales and techniques to create a personal rite of
passage.
Through storytelling, trance, release work and dreams we receive our
challenge(s),
meet our helpers, work through our blocks and emerge renewed,
reborn.
This class culminates with a ritual created by the students.
Prerequisite:
Elements of Magic class (or equivalent with instructor
permission).
