Summon the Fire-Witch: Forging Strong Community 

So many long for supportive, strong community but growing and maintaining a diverse community can be a messy challenge. We'll look at ideas for working with actual humans and their needs, egos and foibles. Tough love, listening ears and a thick skin may be required. 

Crafting a personal poetic meditation for staying centered in challenging times. 

 Diane Awenydd-Evans is a third degree Initiate of the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel and the High Priestess of the Weavers of the Moonfire, the Fire Coven of the Circle of Pisces in the Assembly. She is the author of the Blessing of the Waters and No More Stolen Sisters, annual Community Rituals offered as acts of service by the Weavers of the Moonfire. 

 Introduction to Familiar Spirits 

Is there room on your broom? The archetypal image of the witch and her black cat or warty toad has maintained an iconic status for hundreds of years, but what exactly is a familiar and what is their role in a witch’s practice? Learn about familiar spirits, how to gain one and work with it properly, as well as how to maintain a strong and healthy relationship together. 

 Shadow Work with Botanicals 

As much time as we devote to our practice as excited neophytes, we often overlook the inner journey to overcome our own self-limiting behaviors. Our shadow can be a rampaging toddler, in need of a nap, or it can be a helpful guide to understanding ourselves. Working to incorporate that which trauma has wrought, makes us the incredible Witches we needed when we first started our practices. 

Hellenic Hekate  

Hekate, the Goddess of Witchcraft (Pharmaka) and the Crossroads, is one of the Great Ones most involved in the rebirth of Paganism as a magical tradition. This class explores Hekate from a Hellenic and Hellenistic standpoint with an emphasis on cultic practices. It includes a pathworking to encounter Hekate on the inner planes.  

Sunna’s Journeys with the Wolf: Shadow Work Through Norse Myth  

Join us on a journey with Sunna, the Norse Sun Goddess, whose daily flight across the sky is shadowed by the wolf Sköll. Through myth, journaling, and reflection, we’ll explore our own “shadows”—the fears and doubts that follow us. Blending Jungian shadow work with Internal Family Systems, this session offers practical tools to meet your shadows with courage, compassion, and new insight.
