For as long as humans have been able to look up into the sky, the moon has captivated us with its mystery – but why is it so important in so many modern magical traditions and practices? In this two-hour workshop, we’ll talk about legends and folklore of the moon, working with lunar deities for wisdom and intuitive development, and how to use the various phases for different magical workings. This class is held online via Zoom Video Conferencing. All students MUST register via the Erzulie’s Conjure Garden website – seating is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today!

Join me as I partner with Erzulie’s Conjure Garden for a 3-hour workshop that will help you learn to work with your ancestors by developing a relationship with them. 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 to making your magic more powerful through working with your kinfolk. 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 online via Zoom Video Conferencing. All students MUST register via the Erzulie’s Conjure Garden website – seating is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today!
