Florida Pagan Gathering – Beltaine 2019
Maddox Ranch 2211 Bella Vista Rd, Lakeland, FL, United StatesJoin me at Florida Pagan Gathering for their annual Beltane celebration! I'll be presenting three different workshops: Asphalt, Concrete & Steel - We'd all love to scamper about in a forest or a field being magical and Pagan and witchy... but realistically, that's not always possible. If you live in a city or suburb, never fear - there are still plenty of ways you can practice a magical life! Learn how to use city and suburban elements in your magical workings and rituals. Flying Solo - Do you practice as a solitary Pagan, witch, or Wiccan? Learn some tried & true tips on a successful solitary practice, as well as the basics of ritual and spell construction! Bring a notebook to write down ideas - and if you'd like to share some of your own, we'd love to hear them! Pagan Leadership - As the Pagan community grows and changes, those who step into a leadership role – whether by choice or by chance – often feel overwhelmed. Use these top management principles and strategies from the executive suite to help you become a more effective leader in today’s Pagan community. Discussion will include leadership self-assessment to determine what kind of leader you are, using the Pareto principle to set goals, and how to translate business principles into spiritual leadership to create an educated and ethical clergy.

Reynoldsburg OH: Meet Your Badass Ancestors
Erzulie's Conjure Garden 6565 East Livingston Avenue, Reynoldsburg, OH, United StatesJoin me at Erzulie's Conjure Garden for a 2 1/2 hour workshop that will help you work with your ancestors. Ancestor veneration is a key component of many spiritual/occult practices, but very few people know where to start. Often, misunderstanding of these concepts leads to cultural appropriation and less than successful magical efforts because of the disconnect between the practitioner and Spirit. This workshop is an introduction to genealogical research as well as an introduction to making your magic more powerful through working with your ancestors. We'll also discuss sensitive topics about problematic ancestors that you may have in your bloodline. Meet Your Badass Ancestors is open to anyone, regardless of cultural/ethnic background or religious belief system, who is interested in learning how to work with their ancestors in a spiritual context. This class is held both in-store, at Erzulie’s Conjure Garden (6565 East Livingston Avenue, Reynoldsburg, OH) and online via Zoom Video Conferencing. If you plan to take the class in the store, please indicate this by selecting the location option when you order the course. You will, however, get the same web links to take the course as our online students. It is being offered on three separate evenings for your convenience - June 26, August 7, and Sept. 18. All students MUST register via the Erzulie's Conjure Garden website - seating is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today!
