You’ve heard it from us before— the path of the Animal Totem is the path of deep knowledge of the inner self. But . . . so what?? How does that help in a witch’s daily life??Your Nine animal totems are each connected to an aspect of your sacred self, but they are also your direct personal connection to the magickal energies of the universe: earth, air, fire, water, dark, light, and the masculine and feminine of the divine. In this workshop, we take a deep dive into the practical application of Totems in the practice of magick. Learn how you can use your totems to invoke and send energies, cast spells, cast a better and stronger circle, center and ground yourself, and shield and protect yourself and others. Use totemic knowledge as a tool to up your magickal game!

In this class we invite you to explore the nature of sigil magic and personal symbolism and examine how they may be effectively employed in meaningful and powerfully effective ways in your craft. During the course of the class we will examine various examples of magical Sigils, Amulets, Talismans, and approaches towards their construction and use. And finally we will discuss methods for the crafting of uniquely personal symbol sets, sigils, and even magical scripts, ciphers, and alphabets which may serve to enrich your magical practice in new and innovative ways.

Dive into one of the most important and useful building blocks of ceremonial magick: the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP). This ritual offers practitioners a powerful tool to cleanse and fortify themselves spiritually. Your magick and spiritual hygiene can be taken to the next level with proper use of this ritual. In this workshop you will learn all about this classic ritual and practical advice on how to do it. Different versions of this ritual will be explored so that you can personalize this practice to fit into your individual beliefs. The LBRP can be practiced alone or combined with other types of magick or ritual. It is a highly customizable and adaptable tool. Additionally, as part of this workshop, you will receive handouts with the basic ritual and diagrams of the pentagrams.
