Learn Something New

Presenting the Pentacle Path of Elemental Witchcraft as a magickal system enacted throughout the Wheel of the Year. Like each stroke drawn of a five-pointed star, each mystery of earth, air, fire, water and spirit weaves between the projective outer mysteries, and the receptive inner mysteries. Through this practice of Elemental Witchcraft, those powers aid the Witch to reconcile the paradoxes created by the illusion of material separation of God/dess here in the middle world. We’ll discuss elemental earth and the Path of Sovereignty, air and the Path of Truth, fire and the Path of Power, water and the Path of Love, and spirit as the Path of Completion. These tools aid Witchcraft’s transformation of our society into a cooperative culture inspired by a God/dess in balance. From “Elemental Witchcraft: A Guide to Living a Magickal Life Through the Elements.” (Llewellyn 2021)

Auspicious Timing by Astrology: The Great Work of Magick throughout the Wheel of the Year
with Heron Michelle

Auspicious timing according to astrology lays out a year-long map of energetic tides according to earth’s natural cycles, rather than the Catholic legacy of the Gregorian Calendar. This Great Work planning method for meaningful magickal workings within the Wheel of the Year, allows the witch deep spiritual exploration while balancing their five-fold self. This workshop integrates the 8 elemental mysteries with the seasons, the Sabbats of the Sun, the full and dark moon Esbats, including a look at blue and black moons, and patterns of lunar leadership. This method is taught in “Elemental Witchcraft: A Guide to Living a Magickal Life Through the Elements.” (Llewellyn 2021)

Elemental Witchcraft and a New Witch’s Jewel of Power
with Heron Michelle

To know, to will, to dare and to keep silent. Since the 18th century, these were the four Hermetic magickal maxims known as the Sphinx of the Magus. These maxims describe the projective lessons of earth, air, water, and fire. Within 20th C. Wicca, the Sphinx morphed into a new symbol: the Witch’s Pyramid, crowned with Spirit and a new maxim, the Wiccan Rede. However, that is only half the story! This workshop explores an expanded symbolical structure to better describe the mirror reflection of the God/dess in balance. Introducing the Witch’s Jewel of Power, and the receptive elemental tools of cooperation which culminate in the missing maxim of the Goddess: Perfect Love and Perfect Trustworthiness. From “Elemental Witchcraft: A Guide to Living a Magickal Life Through the Elements.” (Llewellyn 2021)

Glamor: Not Just for Supermodels
with ​​Sophia Kelly Shultz

Glamor. You may have read this term in conjunction with vampires, and this is a very apt term: the vampire uses his charisma and good looks (if you read Stephanie Meyer) to attract and dominate his victims. He is able to mask his true nature to such an extent that his victims even forgive any slips he might make.

Cult leaders are also good examples of using glamor to affect their congregations. They “talk to God” and “follow his will,” often to the end of their days, which may be sooner rather than later. Their victims follow his every whim without question, from giving all their money or other precious items to cutting off their families.

But glamor is not limited to cult leaders and vampires. That person everyone follows around at work; the woman who has her co-workers hanging on her every word has glamor. Abusers use glamor to attract victims. Some people attract others with stories that might be tall tales, each made legitimate one by the kernel of truth buried within it.

Identifying and avoiding metaphysical glamor is the subject of this workshop. Participants will learn the danger signals that they are being “glammed” and ways to counter the effects of such incursions. There might even be some charms involved!

Accessing the Deep Fire
with ​​Sophia Kelly Shultz

Often when we think of fire, our minds go to open flames: drum circle fires, candle flames, cooking fires. But fire goes far deeper than that, into the earth; it lies beneath our feet and comes to the surface as an upwelling of creation, bringing forth new, fertile land. This workshop is a ritual/meditation, an exercise intended to assist attendees in accessing and channeling the deep-rooted creative energies of the Earth’s Deep Fire.

After Dark – Just The Facts, Ma’at: Ancient Egyptian Magic, Plain and Simple
with ​​Sophia Kelly Shultz

Just as the wonders of ancient Egyptian culture need no embellishment, the complex and fascinating magical practices of the ancient Egyptians do not need the imaginative embellishments envisioned by modern authors and practitioners. This workshop explores the core concepts surrounding ancient Egyptian magic, providing information about core beliefs and practices that spanned the 30 centuries of ancient Egyptian civilization.

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.

Planning Sabbat Rituals Throughout the Wheel of the Year
with ​​Robbi Packard

Throughout the Wheel of the Year, we celebrate the seasons, either as a solitary practitioner, or as part of a larger group. We could use the same ritual for all of the celebrations, but each sabbat, each season, offers us inspiration we can use to make each celebration special.

She does not limit the idea of Sabbat celebrations to any particular Deities, which opens up the possibilities for a broader sense of community that helps bring people together regardless of their own personal practices.

Stringbound Journal Class – Recycle, repurpose, recolor! – Make and Take
with Kate Holly-Clark

This is a hands-on workshop on how to make a stringbound journal, using a discarded book for the cover. Stringbinding is an old bookmaking technique traditionally used to consolidate a bunch of smaller books or signatures of pages; the advantage is that you can add and remove sections as you please.

It involves glue, scissors, fabric, string, and junk-able books, resulting in a journal you can take home with you! Come prepared to actually make a thing with your hands! We’ll also talk a little bit about color-correspondences for what you use your books FOR. Please feel free to bring a baggie full of scraps of fabric or fun papers or scrap pictures or whatever from home for decoration of your journals— glue, old books to recycle, and string will be provided to use along with an assortment of whatever scraps of decorative stuff I have on hand at the time.

Since 1996 Kate has played with multiple media for jewelry, mostly concentrating on wire and beads–beads of glass, beads of stone, beads of mother of pearl, beads of funky vintage plastic and clay and wood. At the same time, she has been busy working in various media and crafts, with a Yankee emphasis on “practical”, which is how she got into soap. She has been vending at pagan events and Renaissance faires in the New England area for close to 20 years now–getting out and talking to her patrons is essential for her creative process.

Break on Through: A Discourse in Magical Heritage Age 
With CoyoteSkyWoman

A recent post read: “So I had a thought…What if supernatural creatures don’t exist anymore? What if they once did, but through the years, they slowly mixed with the humans? You can see it in the way that middle school girl never forgets when someone makes her a promise…You can see the blood of dryads in hikers who never trip over roots. You can see it in that suburban grandmother who never lets any of her garden die. You can see it in that one kid who climbs a tree faster than his friends, barely looking at the branches as he goes.

What does it mean to be fae-blooded? Dragon-kin? Some avatar of a long-ago god? How do people display their connections to this possible heritage and how can we tell in a world of constant diagnoses and science over belief what is just the result of wishful thinking and what true connections exist between magical beings and our mundane lives? Do Otherkin have a place in this discussion as well? Come for the discussion, stay for the metaphorical tacos as we examine the concepts of what it would mean to have these ties to other races and other times.

CoyoteSkyWoman has been a member of the local pagan community for over 30 years. A practicing shaman, her experience has included a diverse background, including Land work, energy rebalancing, cleansings, channeling, and spirit work. She is the author of three fantasy novels and spends her days tormenting students with the English language.

The Importance of Cleansing and Blessing Ritual Tools Before Using Them
With Irena and Valentine Stormcrow

Many of the ritual tools we use today we purchase from other people. As a result, we don’t know where the tool has been, what energies it has picked up in its travels, and what intention the maker had when they made it. This is why we cleanse and bless our tools before we use them. This workshop will cover the many ways to cleanse a tool to clear it of all harmful and unwanted energies, and then how to bless the tool for its intended use. If you then purchase any tools at the marketplace on Saturday, you will have an opportunity to cleanse and bless your new tools in the main ritual, hosted by Irena and Val.

Food for Thought – The Art of Divination with Food
with Dawn Hunt

Food is life, Food is Love and Food is Magic!

Her upcoming work “The Culinary Oracle”, Dawn Hunt has created a practical way of using foods to guide our everyday life and receive messages from spirit using food. In this workshop we will take a deeper dive into the magical and energetic qualities of simple ingredients and what deeper meanings they have for our spiritual lives

Dawn Aurora Hunt, owner and CEO of Cucina Aurora Kitchen Witchery, has been teaching and writing on the topics of Kitchen Witchery and Spiritual Nutrition since 2010, when she started her own company making gourmet foods with a dash of magic and a heaping helping of positive vibes as the main ingredients.

Incorporating magic and energy work into food, she has grown her brand to reach people from all faiths and spiritual backgrounds. The author of Kitchen Witchcraft for Beginners, and A Kitchen Witch’s Guide to Love & Romance, Hunt speaks at events all along the East Coast, appears regularly on local TV, and teaches people that good, healthy, and even gluten-free food can be easy to make and wonderful to eat.

Dragonfire Alchemy  
With Jenna Greene

The cave you fear to enter
Holds the treasure that you seek
Travel ever onward,
Oh, travel ever deep
Beyond that haunting, looming abyss
You may come to find
All the chains that bound you
Were just dragons in your mind

In your childhood you probably heard stories of a brave soul who sets out upon a quest to find a mysterious cave and battle the fiery dragon within. While this may seem like a mere fairytale, there is much to be learned from dragon stories, for they are rich in mythic symbolism.

In this workshop, you will learn how to use these symbols as magickal tools. You will discover your own dragon story. Together we will fight “dragons” I’m sure you’ve met before. Their names are Procrastination, Imposter Syndrome, Not Good Enough, Stuck, Doubt, Fear, Self-Consciousness, and the biggest, baddest dragon of all: Should.

By alchemical fire and sacred sword, we will battle these fearsome beasts and transform them into guardians and guides. The five “swords” that I will teach you to wield are Somatic Release, Mental Reframing, Hyperfocus, Inner Child Work, and Visualization. As you bring your own personal dragon story to life, it is my hope that it will become a roadmap to authenticity, freedom, and playfulness on your great quest through life.

Jenna Greene is an Emmy-nominated musician, healer, artist, and ritualist. Through uplifting songs, affirmations, energy work, and creating sacred space, she empowers people to find the divine within. Her great passion is to use her gifts to heal your “not good enoughs” – those wounded places deep inside that hold you back from a joyful life. She intuitively taps into goddess archetypes, nature spirituality, and shamanism to nurture and inspire your path and purpose.

She is excited to debut her new workshop, Dragonfire Alchemy, at Magickal Marketplace.
