THE PATH THE SOUL WALKS: THE MAJOR ARCANA OF THE TAROT
With Cat Dancing and Suzanne
From each moment when the Fool stands looking out at the great unknown, remembering to breathe and daring to trust, to the ever-changing Wheel where we must find that place of balance and center, to the great Cosmic Dance of the World: the Tarot is the story of becoming.
This experiential 4-session class explores the Major Arcana of the Tarot as a mirror of the lights and shadows of our soul, an opening into the powers of desire, will, choice and magic.
All levels of Tarot experience are welcome. Seasoned reader, Tarot novice, or anywhere in between--if you feel called, we invite you to join us as we journey with the Tarot through the mystery of who we have been, are, and may become. Bring a Tarot deck, a journal, and a willingness to let go of your assumptions and teachings and look with fresh eyes.
Sliding fee scale $100-$160. Pay what is right for you within this range. Please register in advance, as space is limited. A $25 deposit guarantees your place.

ART OF RITUAL WORKSHOPS
With Morgana, Midnight, Suzanne, Cat Dancing
Are you called to develop or polish your skills and deepen your power as a ritualist and priestess or priest? Join us for these workshops, which focus on key aspects of creating powerful and authentic ritual. Sign up for one, two, or all three!
CASTING THE CIRCLE (Oct. 3) - When we cast the circle we are creating Sacred Space within which to work our magic. We call in elemental energies and divine and mysterious beings as allies in this process. In this workshop we will explore and practice the foundational skills needed to create Sacred Space in public ritual.
PRIESTESS VOICE (Oct.10) offers a workshop to strengthen the magical tool of the Voice. We will engage breath, intention, grounding, and vocal skills to be clearly heard and understood in ritual and other forums. Step into the power of your voice. Appropriate for all genders.
RAISING ENERGY IN RITUAL: HOW TO MAKE A KICK-ASS CONE (Oct. 17) - We do ritual to make magic, and in magic we work with intention and energy to create change. Explore sensing energy in the circle, how to move and shape energy in ritual, and effective techniques for building, releasing and grounding a kick-ass cone of power.
Elements of Magic class is recommended as a prerequisite for this work.
Fee: $25 per workshop, payable in advance, or in full when the class meets. For more information or to register contact Suzanne, mcanna314@hotmail.com, 512-282-5541, or Midnight, midnight@ancient-mysteries.net, 512-373-4411

DANCING WITH THE FAE: A TEJAS WEB WEEKEND EVENT FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY
Near Austin, Texas
Who are the Fae? Also known as the People of Peace or the Shining Ones, they are humanity’s closest cousins. They are the guardians of the sacred land, weavers and shapers of our world. We often speak of working in partnership and alliance with them, and we honor them in our rituals.
In this all-ages weekend of magical play and work, we will seek to experience and to understand the nature of Faerie and of the Fae. We will sing and drum, play dress-up, and create art and ritual in wild green places beneath the sun and stars. We will journey into the realm of Faerie, walk the labyrinth, and dance with our shining cousins. We will honor old alliances and new, bridging the past, present and future of our sacred partnership.
Join us to create this weekend of magical community.
