Your Astrology Chart: Redefining Self-Love After Narcissistic Abuse

Sunday July 19, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

This lecture takes you on a journey to rediscover your self-worth and rebuild your relationship with yourself through the lens of your astrology chart. By examining key placements like the Moon, Venus, Neptune, Pluto and Chiron, we will explore how your chart reveals the emotional patterns and subconscious beliefs shaped by narcissistic abuse.Through astrology, you will learn to recognize where trauma has affected your ability to set boundaries, nurture yourself, and feel truly seen. We will uncover how specific planetary influences have shaped your responses to love and self-esteem, and how to use this knowledge to shift old patterns and reframe your relationship with yourself.This session is about more than healing; it’s about transforming the way you relate to your own power and vulnerability. With practical insights from your birth chart, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to create a life where self-love is no longer a struggle but a natural, embodied state of being.

Workshop

Take aways: Being empowered. I want attendees to leave this workshop with a deeper understanding of how their astrology chart can be a powerful tool for healing and self-empowerment after narcissistic abuse. They will gain insights into their emotional patterns (Moon), self-worth (Venus), and boundaries (Neptune), and learn how to use this knowledge to transform old wounds into opportunities for personal growth (Chiron). The key takeaway will be a renewed sense of self-love, grounded in their unique astrological makeup, along with actionable steps to rebuild their sense of authenticity and inner strength. This workshop will offer them a new perspective on their journey to healing, one that’s rooted in both cosmic wisdom and self-compassion.

Prometheus with a Pen: Thoth and the Connection Between Writing, Magic, and Divination

Sunday July 19, 2026 10:30am - 11:30am EDT

Ravinia B

A variety of cultures have believed that writing systems possess qualities uniquely suited to the practice of magic and divination. Examples include the knucklebone oracle of ancient Greece, which tied divinatory meanings to letters of the alphabet; the Kabbalist paper amulets created by Jewish magicians since the first century CE; the himmelbrief (“heavenly letter”) written charms of Pennsylvania Dutch hex magic; and the modern popularity of the Old Norse elder futhark alphabet as a magical and divinatory tool. But what makes writing such an apt tool for these uses? This discussion will explore history, myth, folklore, and linguistics to unpack the Egyptian god Thoth as a figure of the hidden connection between writing, magic, and divination.

Working with Gods: How to Ditch the Dogma and Rewrite the Rules

Sunday July 19, 2026 12:30pm - 2:00pm EDT

Ravinia B

Why work with the gods? As magical practitioners, working with deities gives us access to powerful, potent opportunities for inspiration, aid and assistance, mentorship, divine union, and a bone-deep sense of acceptance and belonging. So what does this look like, when we deconstruct patriarchal notions of worship and devotion, and rewrite our own rules of engagement? Jamie has been working with gods and other Unseen Ones in her magical practice for over 25 years. You're invited to join her for a lively discussion about how to approach working with gods, the types of relationships we can build with them, and suggestions for best practices. She'll share her personal journey within the context of her relationship with Hades, with plenty of time for Q&A.
