9:00am EDT

Friday July 17, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

Join us to enter the world of working with plant spirits that some call Plant Devas. The spirit that is a collective of that plant. Not one individual Lavendar plant, but all Lavendar plants. We will discuss how to meet the plant spirits and a bit of the nature of that work and then we will take a guided meditation to meet Ceridwen and she will take us to the plants themselves so we can hear their messages for us. We will not be discussing herbal recipes or usages. This workshop is based on a year-long course that the instructor teaches for Woolston-Steen Theological Seminary (WSTS).

You Are All You Need: Using Your Body in Your Craft

Friday July 17, 2026 10:30am - 11:30am EDT

Ravinia G

Have you forgotten the deep power you wield with your physical body? Understanding that your body is the foundation of your craft can take your rituals and spells to a higher level. Think about your hands, voice, feet, skin, fingers, hair - do you know how to use these as a vehicle for your intentions? In this class, we will discuss how your body can be a canvas for spellwork, which fingers boost the intentions of rings, using sigils on your body, the unique power of your voice, tattoos, clothing, jewelry, makeup, movement and so much more!

Workshop

Take aways: To leave the workshop realizing that while all the witchy accoutrements and spell recipes are great, all they really need to do ritual, commune with nature, work powerful spells and heal themselves is with their own body. All the other stuff just adds to the foundational level of who we are as magickal beings.

Living the Wheel of the Elements in Magic

Friday July 17, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm EDT

Ravinia G

The Wheel of Elements is the foundation of a witch’s craft. Each direction of the wheel holds an element that moves through your body, your altar, and your spells. In this workshop, we will walk the wheel together, exploring Earth in the North, Air in the East, Fire in the South, and Water in the West. You will learn how to recognize these forces in your own life and how to call them with clarity in ritual. Each element will be given to you not just as a concept but as a power you can work with daily, shaping your magic in real and tangible ways. By the end of our time together, you will carry a deeper understanding of how to live with the elements as allies, weaving their wisdom into your spells, your circle, and the way you move through the world.

Hearth & Fire Spirits: Guardians of Households, and Protectors of Bloodlines

Friday July 17, 2026 4:00pm - 5:00pm EDT

Ravinia G

Many cultures and spiritual traditions recognize that there are spirits who dwell in the households that can both help and harm the people who live there, such as Brownies, Domovoy, and Tomte. They may also be hearth gods that bless the home, like Brigid, Hestia, and Frigga. Many Asian cultures also worship a “kitchen god”. While household spirits may not have a fiery aspect, many hearth-based gods/spirits are connected to fire. Within North Asian shamanic traditions, every family has a household fire spirit, which can bless and protect the household family.In this class, we will explore the different household and hearth spirits/gods. For those who are not tied to specific cultural deities & spirits, we will also explore the generic household fire spirit, which anyone can work with even if they are not North Asian, as well as how to employ a fire ceremony to strengthen your own household.
