Underworld Initiation of the Tarot
with Christopher Penczak
Occult tradition tells us that the secrets of magick and initiation are encoded in the images of the Tarot. Drawing on teachings from The History and Practice of Magic by Paul Christian and Tarot of the Bohemians by Papus, we will explore a tradition of magickal healing and empowerment rooted in the mythos of Egypt but applicable to anyone through the art of the Tarot. Experience a guided visionary journey on the initiatory path of evolution through twelve gates from the Major Arcana. Experience the portals of transformation in the underworld, their guardians and teachers, through the twelve “hours” of the night, starting with the Sphinx of the Wheel of the Fortune through death, rebirth, and empowerment in The World.

The Four Sacred Quests of the Tarot
with Christopher Penczak
The wand, blade, cup and stone are the four classic hallows of the magician, used by Witches to evoke the four elements and work their Craft. Each the four elemental suits of Tarot embodies a magickal quest to find and embody a deep magickal virtue – Will, Truth, Compassion and Sovereignty. We recognize these quests hidden in the trials of life. Through ritual, we can invoke these four powers to better understand our magickal tools. Through empowered meditation, commune with spirit teachers to guide us on the quest. Experience a quest through meditative journey and learn to find the sacred hallows within.

The Dark Mirror of Magick
with Christopher Penczak
Mirror magick has a long history and is used in the magick of protection, reflection, self-esteem, amplification and psychic ability.

Learn instruction on making an effective dark mirror, from the simple to the more traditional, and empower it to reveal hidden things and open the way.

Whose Rock is it Anyway?
with Sophia Kelly Shultz
Rocks and crystals are like prescription drugs: results may vary. One person might find a stone relaxing, another, energizing, and to confuse matters, there are dozens if not hundreds of books and kits about the supposed uses for rocks and minerals for meditation, health, and other aspects of our lives. These are neat, and often filled with very pretty pictures, but their interpretations of the minerals’ uses is often limiting. Investigate for yourself the benefits of opening your mind to new, personal interpretation to crystals, and build a kit for your personal use!

After Dark – It’s Not All About Death: Reading the Egyptian Amduat for the Living
with Sophia Kelly Shultz
One of the most significant of the so-called “Egyptian Underworld Books,” the Amduat, literally “What is in the Netherworld” chronicles the sun god Re’s perilous journey as he travels from dusk to dawn.
But the scope of the Amduat stretches far beyond gods and the deceased; within the registers of often bizarre and confusing figures, we find a chronicle of transformation and rebirth that can be applied to both our conscious and subconscious minds, and thus to the ways in which we approach our experiences. Accompanying the sun god through the twelve hours of the night, we will explore some of these concepts and how they can help us move forward in our lives.
.
Born and raised in Pennsylvania, artist and author Sophia Kelly Shultz has led what can only be described as a colorful life. Educated in the hallowed halls of the University of Pennsylvania, she studied Egyptology with a particular focus on the language, and spent many happy hours in the storage areas seldom seen by outsiders. A lifetime later, her love affair with all things ancient Egyptian has not waned, and she loves opportunities to do research on different aspects of the discipline. Sophia has followed a non-traditional shamanic path which connects particularly with rocks and running water. Her practice also includes counseling others and teaching that “creativity” does not mean “creating things that other people will like.” Sophia lives in the hard coal region of Pennsylvania with her husband, a super-enthusiastic Springer Spaniel, and a very small, very bad cat.

Geomantic Divination
With Kirk White
Geomancy was one of the seven “forbidden arts” by canon law in 1456, probably because it was so popular among all social classes. Resembling a mix of astrology and the I Ching, it is both simple and complex, easy to practice and yet multilayered. Don’t you want to learn one of the forbidden arts?

After Dark – Spiritual BDSM-Divining to Focus Your Play
with Wrentek MacGowan
Can you even use spiritual and BDSM in the same sentence? It just seems wrong. Some have discovered the spirituality of BDSM in a scene that was meant to be strictly fun.

This workshop will focus on being intentional with your play and using divination to assist in creating focus and/or direction. Maybe you’re already familiar with these concepts. We are going to add depth to those experiences through the use of divination systems. If these concepts are new to you but you are intrigued, tantalized and possibly appalled, please join me for this workshop. All experience levels, lifestyles, gender expressions are welcome. You must be over 21 years of age. There will be no nudity or sexual type contact, however you must be willing to openly discuss sex and sexuality in conjunction with spirituality.

After Dark – The Interpretation of the Occult in Popular Media
With CoyoteSkyWoman
In the history of the small screen, shows featuring magical principles have always been very popular. With the advent of more recent programs such as Supernatural, The Magicians, Evil, and even Hazbin Hotel and, more importantly, its companion show, Helluva Boss, there has been a broader exploration of occult concepts. In a lot of these shows, the content is darker and not meant for younger audiences due to the adult themes they contain. What these do have, however, is a more (or less) accurate portrayal of magical beliefs from various occult traditions, including entities and symbology. This workshop will discuss how the inclusion of these enhance and enrich the worlds the creators have envisioned, as well as broadening the awareness of these ideas to a wider audience.

Panel Discussion: The Use of Divination Throughout the Ages
With Christopher Penczak, Sophia Kelly Shultz, Kirk White, Dr. Adhi Two-Owls, Diana Harris, and CoyoteSkyWoman (moderator)
We are proud to present a panel discussion moderated by our own CoyoteSkyWoman to explore divination and how it has changed through the centuries, from our Neolithic ancestors to modern times. CoyoteSkyWoman will lead some of our most prestigious guest presenters in an in-depth look at how the different forms of divination have developed over time, and our uses of it, and how much we may or may not rely on the observations it may reveal. Attendees will gain insight on the different types of divination, the strengths and weaknesses of each, and offer insight that may help to choose which form of divination to use. Come listen to the leading voices in our community as they discuss this fascinating topic. This is not an event to be missed!
