Atlanta, GA: Mystic South

Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter Hotel 4355 Ashford Donwoody Road, Atlanta, GA, United States

I'm back at Mystic South, which is one of the coolest Pagan events in the southeast! Now returning after a two-year Covid hiatus, Mystic South offers a variety of different workshops and rituals presented by members of the Pagan, Polytheistic, Witchcraft, and Heathen community. I'll be presenting two different workshops: Friday, July 15, 8 am: Household Magic: Use the Mundane to Make the Magical Learn how to use plain old non-magical stuff around your house in your spellwork and rituals. From kids' toys to the weird things in the back of your kitchen junk drawer, this fun and interactive workshop will give you a chance to put on your witchy thinking hats and come up with some creative solutions to magical problems! Saturday, July 16, 11 am: Spiritual Decluttering We've all read about the life-changing practice of getting rid of things that don't bring us joy but there's more to decluttering than just cleaning out your closet or emptying the basement. By decluttering our minds, spirits, and souls, we can help ourselves move towards success and happiness. Learn how to declutter your spiritual life by freeing up emotional space, embracing self-care, and setting (and enforcing) boundaries. After all, once you get rid of the garbage, you'll make room for the good stuff, and you can consciously and mindfully open yourself up to all of the positive things you've been missing out on.

Columbus, OH: Columbus Witches’ Ball

Columbus Convention Center 400 N. High St., Columbus, OH

I'll be at the Columbus Witches' Ball on November 5, selling and signing books for you! Join me, along with my soul sister LilyBeth, who will be offering readings. This event will be held in the Short North Ballroom in the Columbus Convention Center, conveniently located in the heart of downtown near several restaurants, hotels and bars in what is known as the Arena District. We will be in the Northernmost ballrooms, in the convention center and near the newly built Goodale Parking Garage. There will be a cash bar for attendees to enjoy (responsibly) as well as provided waters and soda. Because of the cash bar this year’s event is 18 and older. Unfortunately the event cannot offer food this year due to costs, but it starts at 7 pm so you can go enjoy a dinner at one of the amazing local eateries before the ball. There will be a separate Ancestor Shrine room for people who want to spend a time with their Ancestors and it will be staffed by one of the event's Oracle Ritual team members. Due to past feedback there will not be a long ritual in the middle or the ball, but a shorter ritual to start the ball so people may enjoy the dancing, socializing and shopping that they have asked for in the past.
