THE MYSTERIES OF THE TAROT: A BEGINNER'S PATH
With Cat Dancing and Suzanne
Are you drawn to the Tarot, but arenÕt sure how to get started? Do you feel confused or intimidated by the cards, unsure of your ability to read their meanings?
This class offers a path into the mysteries of the Tarot, an experiential introduction to the cards from an intuitive and magical perspective. The class explores the key meanings and magical energies of the Tarot Major and Minor Arcana, including the Court cards. You will learn basic spreads and gain confidence in reading the cards.
You are invited to join us on this path into the mysteries of the Tarot! No Tarot or magical experience required. Please bring a Tarot deck (or ask us if you need to borrow one.)

In a ritual setting, learn about the symbol that connects myth and legend from Aboriginal Australia, Celtic Britain, North America, Ancient Greece, The Indian subcontinent, Japan and Mayan Mexico. What powers and potential magical practices and lessons does the Septagram contain?

RIVER OF BLOOD: IN-DEPTH WORK WITH THE PENTACLE OF IRON
With Morgana and Suzanne
This weekend intensive offers time and space for deep personal work in a peaceful, natural setting. We honor and call on the Ancestors and the Fey, and summon the ancient magic of the WitchÕs tool, the Pentacle. With meditation, trance, the shaping and directing of energy, sound and rhythm and movement, ritual, art and dream, we seek the flow of the River of Blood within ourselves.
This intensive is intended to work with The River of Tears: In-Depth Work with the Pentacle of Pearl (see March 2008). These Rivers of myth and tale carry the stories of our own personal journeys. Our energy rides their waters. The currents of the River of Blood and the River of Tears draw us into deepening relationship with ourselves, others, and communities.
Through the Pentacle of Iron --the energies of Sex, Self, Passion, Pride and Power--we channel and enhance the flow of the River of Blood within ourselves, claiming our ancestral truth, embracing our human birthright, and strengthening our skills and powers.
Prerequisite: Elements of Magic or equivalent.
Sign up for both intensives at a special fee rate, or sign up for either class individually. Both: $150, payment in full due at first class; each: $100. A $25 deposit in advance holds your space.

RIVER OF TEARS: IN-DEPTH WORK WITH THE PENTACLE OF PEARL
With Morgana and Suzanne
This weekend intensive offers time and space for deep personal work in a peaceful, natural setting. We honor and call on the Ancestors and the Fey, and summon the ancient magic of the WitchÕs tool, the Pentacle. With meditation, trance, the shaping and directing of energy, sound and rhythm and movement, ritual, art and dream, we seek the flow of the River of Tears within ourselves.
This intensive is intended to work with The River of Blood: In-Depth Work with the Pentacle of Iron (see December 2007). These Rivers of myth and tale carry the stories of our own personal journeys. Our energy rides their waters. The currents of the River of Blood and the River of Tears draw us into deepening relationship with ourselves, others, and communities.
Through the Pentacle of Pearl --the energies of Love, Knowledge, Wisdom, Law and Liberty--we release and empower the flow of the River of Tears within ourselves, acknowledging our grief for what is wounded and our hope for healing, and finding tools for creating relationships with communities/within communities.
Prerequisite: Elements of Magic or equivalent
Fee: $100 for this intensive only. ($150 if you have registered for both River of Blood and River of Tears.) A $25 deposit in advance holds your space.
