Animal Mysticism
What are your favorite animals trying to tell you? Exploring our current and past relationships
with animals can give us greater insight into our own behavior. The concept of the witch's
familiar is misunderstood even to this day. We will examine the history of familiars and connect
it to animal totems of today, using approaches from science, evolution, myth, and magic to help
us reconnect with Nature in new ways to strengthen old bonds.

Intro to Shamanism
In this basic introduction to the shamanic path, we will explore what it means to be a
shamanic practitioner and why now, more than ever, the shamanic worldviews are needed.
We will discuss: What is shamanism? We will look at this historically and cross-culturally
including some of the tensions between indigenous shamanism and modern neoshamanic
practitioners. What is the role of a shaman in a community? What is the difference between a
shaman and a shamanic practitioner? We will explore the deeply interwoven nature of the
shamanic worldview. We will learn how the shaman journeys to underworld, midworld, and
upperworld and the differences in guidance you will find there. Finally we will learn about
totem animals, animal guides, and spirit teachers and how to build relationships with them.

down singing into manageable steps so that you can incorporate song into your magickal
workings. $15.00 Presented by: Ariawena

earth. Symbols and themes will be discussed and analyzed as a model of how to deeply read
any mythology. $20.00 Presented by: Ouromboros
Poppet Class
For many, the thought of poppets still brings to mind cheesy movies of women in silk turbans
jabbing Voodoo dolls with needles! In actuality, a poppet is simply a roughly humanoid item or
figure which is used to represent somebody specific for spellwork, and is a great way to focus
positive intention. Join us as Selene discusses poppet lore and history, followed by some
hands-on practice in making poppets for self-healing. $20.00

(Witch's) Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram

with the Divine. This class will cover the meaning and performance of both the original LBRP

that uses imagery more familiar to Pagans. Participants will also practice exercises in
