Keynote Workshop: Fire, Phonics, and the Forge
The lightning strike and the fall from the heavens both divide us from the all and give us blessed opportunity for return with a rich expansive experience. With the first strike of lightning fire is brought to humanity, for protection, cooking, and illumination of the sacred. With the second strike, the one language is torn asunder with symbols and letters as the tower falls. With the third strike of iron, we awaken our blood to the crafting of tools and technology. All divide humanity from our natural kin and all are crafts of magick, to return us once again. Learn the mystery of the fire, phonics, and the forge in the mythos of the Temple of Witchcraft as three paths of return.
Saturday Night Imbolc Ritual
with Christopher Penczak and Matooka Moonbear
Come celebrate the Feast of the Lady of the Cave and Flame as healer, poet, and smith. Together in a guided visionary ritual we seek the mystery of the winter dark by bearing the sacred flame into the cave to awaken the slumbering goddess. Together we thank the Jack of the Frost, and slowly awaken the tide of spring as we turn the wheel. As a community, we shall craft a spiritual brew to nourish ourselves, our peoples, and the world by speaking the blessings and virtues of each of the twelve zodiac ministries into the sacred cauldron. By these blessings we turn the Wheel of the Year and celebrate the sabbat of Imbolc.
The Lightning of Humanity
Sunday Evening Ritual
As Witches, we draw down the power of the Sun, Moon and Stars to make magick. In the most ancient of days, the first humans drew down the lightning to conjure the first fires to tend. They drew down the light and cast the shadows of letters through the branches of the trees and the movement of hands, forming our first magick words to speak. They drew down the stones of heavens to make iron, and found more in the blood of the Earth to forge the first blade, plough, and horseshoe, resonating with the iron of their own blood. In this visionary ritual, walk with the ancient ancestors to unlock the magick of fire, language and iron as paths of magick, regeneration and enlightenment.
