This workshop will explore the ways archaeology has helped discover the origins of polythestic religions. From Native American religions to Chinese folk religion to Norse Paganism and the Egyptian gods, archaeology has helped to piece together the origins of these practices. Through examining these we can look at ways archaeology can continue to help modern pagan communities reconstruct the origins of their pagan practices and apply those findings to the modern day.

There are cords that connect us all as we move through life: some aiding and supporting us, and some holding us back. All our experiences make us who we are, how we are, and where we go— and through all these connections we have opportunities to grow. This workshop will discuss cords in faery seership, such as the threads of the Weaver, and the impact of our connections on our life, our work and magic. We will discuss discernment of these threads, and A’alyvyne will offer information about tools and techniques that can guide and assist both supporting or severing that which enhances, as well as that which no longer serves us, in our true purpose and Great Work. This includes everyday cleansing and clearing, as well as deeper, focused unbinding or severing negative connections. We will discuss tools such as the iron blade, the Weaver’s tether, and other faery topics and tools related to this work.
Take aways: An understanding, including recognition and discernment, of the various types of threads and connections that impact a person’s life and work (magical and otherwise). Attendees will learn some techniques for assessment, further exploration, and practical means of supporting or severing threads to improve one’s internal balance and well-being, as well as relationships in the world.
