Sunday, May 16, 10 AM - 3 PM, $50

Soul Journey

194 MAIN ST., BUTLER NJ  07405-1005

973/838-6564  http://www.souljourney.com

From the ancient lands and the first civilizations, mages, healers and seers have worked with the power of the angelic realm to bring transformation and healing. They act as divine messengers, architects and guides. Explore the history of angelic magick, from the more familiar Judeo-Christian forms of angels to their ancient pagan roots and similar beings found around the East and tribal cultures. Learn about the angelic orders from the Qabalistic tradition and the angelic   choirs of the Christian tradition, two distinct systems of classifying angels. Use angelic seals, scripts and alphabets to enhance your connection to the angels. Specifically focus on making magick with the archangels of the Tree of Life, and those of the seven planets - Gabriel, Raphael, Haniel, Michael, Khamiel, Tzadkiel and Tzafkiel , and the angel of the hidden sphere, Uriel, and learn how to work with each through ritual and meditation to manifest change in your life and understand your own angelic nature and true purpose.


Shamballa Reiki

Weekend Intensive for Reiki Practitioners/Masters

May 29 & 30, 10 AM to 6 PM

Misty Meadows, 183 Wednesday Hill Rd, Lee, NH  03824 (603) 659-7211 www.mistymeadows.org

Shamballa is an expansion on the traditional system of Reiki, consciously and intuitively using 352 symbols connecting you to the Source. Shamballa encompasses the symbols from other healing systems, including Maha Karuna, Seichim and Terra-Mai . The diamond light energy of Shamballa focuses on personal initiation and spiritual growth. Increased healing energies are a natural part of this initiation. Shamballa helps you connect with the Ladies and Lords of Shamballa, the ascended masters, and specifically Saint Germain, to guide your healing work and aid in your ascension process. This Shamballa "update" designed specifically for Reiki practitioners will not focus on the traditional healing method of Reiki, but on your own spiritual development, including meditations on full DNA activation, mahatma activation, working with the masters and archangels, working with the rays of lights, higher self contact and light body activation. Shamballa will be explained in a down to earth manner, including both intuitive and historic information on Theosophy, Lightwork and Ascension and tips on how to integrate these spiritual practices into your daily life.

This will be Christopher's last Shamballa Reiki weekend intensive for the foreseeable future as he focuses on other projects, so if you've been waiting to take this workshop, now is an excellent opportunity.   Day One - Shamballa Practitioner Levels I and II - Traditional Reiki II prerequisite. $150 Day Two - Morning Level III - Shamballa Master Healer - Traditional Reiki Master (IIIa) and Shamballa I & II prerequisite. $75 Afternoon Level IV - Shamballa Master Teacher - Traditional Reiki Master/Teacher (IIIb)  and Shamballa I-III prerequisite. $75

The first of the harvest rituals, we take the time to reap what we have sown. Traditionally, the first grains were harvested, breads were baked and we honored the sacrificial grain god. Not many of us harvest our own grains, instead we can take this time to reflect on our deeds and sow our fertility spells for the coming dark. Together through ritual, we will contemplate the mystery of sacrifice, and the Miracle of Bread, for this is the day when the grain is cut, the God is sacrificed, and the holy bread is baked from his body. All denominations are welcome, only an open heart is necessary.

Ancient traditions believe that human beings possess not one soul, but multiple souls, each embodying a different part of consciousness. Belief in soul anatomy can be found in the writings of the Celts, Saxons, Egyptians, Hebrews, Voudouns, Siberians and Hawaiians. Healing and empowerment involved the balance and harmony of all the souls. Part of the work of the mystic is to forge the Soul Body, unifying the parts into the magickal vessel of consciousness that transcends death. Explore the soul crafting found in the traditions of the Witch, including the development of the Fetch, the Faery Lover and Alchemical Marriage, Overshadowing and the Soul Gate.

The time of balance is with us once more as light and dark are equal. The Lord of Light gives his life in sacrifice, his blood is spilled to renew the land. Mabon, the second of the Harvest festivals, celebrates this sacrifice, acknowledging their necessity in the cycle of life and death. We will connect to the God and the animals that give their lives so that we may eat, using masks and ecstatic postures in meditation. We may follow the journey of Llew to the Underworld, after he is betrayed by the flower maiden, Blodeuwedd, or we may follow Persephone as she returns to her Underworld kingdom to reign as Queen beside Hades. Only you can chose your destination. You may bring a ritual mask, or face paint if you wish.  All denominations are welcome, only an open heart is necessary.

The veil between the worlds is again at its thinnest. Now is the time to communicate with those who have passed, and to work on building relationships with our ancestors. It’s an ideal time for scrying with Tarot and the Eternal Flame. The Goddess returns to the underworld, passing through the seven gates, the seven trials, seeking the knowledge of Death and Rebirth. As we spiral down into the underworld, we too go in search of knowledge. We dance with the ancestors of blood and spirit through the seven gates with her, and learn the mysteries of the stars within the Earth. We seek the wisdom of the spirit world, and open our inner eye to see what truly awaits us beyond the veil.

Focusing on the element of water as the gateway to the spirit realm, learn to reflect on your inner emotions and dive deep to heal your past. Learn techniques to further your relationship with your shadow self. Topics include alignment with the three selves,  spirit allies, working with the totem/fetch/familiar,  animal and plant spirit medicine, past life healing, soul healing and communion with the Dark Goddess. The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft is the required text book for the course.

On the longest night of the year, the Goddess labors through the dark to bring the child of light back to the world. We consecrate candles, to give her light and honor her, and to encourage the Sun to come back to the world. The nights will grow shorter and we know that even though winter is still upon us, the promise of warm weather and Spring flowers are not far away. This is the gift the Oak King brings to us, that of the promise that each day and each year carry. It is ours to make the best of it. Join us to say farewell to the Holly King and welcome the Child of Light back into the world.

Join Christopher Penczak in this intense study for training as a High Priestess or High Priest in the temple tradition of modern witchcraft.

 

Through the first seven classes, learn the Temples of Initiation are within you through an in depth study of the seven gates of the Underworld, as modeled by the chakras, planets, underworld castles, alchemical operations and the miracle of bread, as each presents a series of challenges and lessons. No one can initiate you in the deepest mysteries of magick and spirit except for yourself, as through this work, you will learn to offer yourself to your highest self and gods in a ritual of initiation. Learn the mysteries of the seven gates, the secrets of the elder races and previous worlds, the secrets of the measure, unlocking the mysteries of the blood and ancestors, left and right hand path magicks, personal codes of ethics, the weaving of wyrd and your own secret names for the Goddess and God. Study the philosophy and wisdom of the modern pagan world. Use meditation, ritual and psychic ability to integrate the sacred, living magick into your daily life. Bring a deep sense of self -awareness, healing and transformation. Through shamanic initiation, face your fears and shadows. Develop leadership, healing, teaching and counseling skills. Through a world religion and mythology survey, understand the wisdom of the witch is the wisdom of the world. Round out your magical education through a year study program based on the twelve zodiac signs and their lessons where you will be challenged to lead, teach and serve the community. Learn the skills of the High Priest or High Priestess to better serve yourself and your community. Live the life of the witch. Students have ideally completed Witchcraft I through IV successfully and must complete an application for approval prior to starting the class. The Living Temple of Witchcraft Volume I and II is required texts for the class. Students are expected to complete required class work and homework assignments.
