WORKSHOPS

The forces of life and the whims of humanity can stretch, lacerate, block and delude us. We can find ourselves being everyone but ourselves. We can become confused, drained, overwhelmed and out of touch with the very inner core that is the source of our aliveness. So, how do we detangle and dis-entrench from this and revitalize ourselves? How do we declare sovereign authority over our own inner spirit? After all "theres only 2 things every witch must know, don't tangle up your lines or contaminate your flow". Orion will share elements of sovereignty, core symptoms of spirit loss, techniques for scanning and processes for calling our power, spirit and soul back into unity within. 

Wicca is the fastest growing religion in the U.S. As the Faith moves out of the shadows and more into the lime light in our modern culture, there's is a need for qualified Pagan Leaders to step out and meet the needs of the rapidly growing Pagan communities that are, "Out of the Closet."

Rev. Terry Riley  High Priest The Southern Delta Church of Wicca - ATC

As priest or priestess you have many roles. Facilitating spiritual growth through counseling is one of the many things you do and it can be a challenge.  Whereas there are no cookie cutter responses, there are tools that are helpful and common lessons that many experience on their paths.  We will discuss creating sacred space, basic counseling techniques, and most frequent lessons that clergy address with their community members. 

Our ancestors felt strongly that the visible natural world is interpenetrated by an invisible (or intravisible) and co-existent realm populated by hosts of beings, some strange, some luminous and others beautiful beyond comprehension; and, all of them quite powerful. The beings were believed to have power over major weather, luck, pestilence, health, food, and the arcane arts of magic. They were feared and revered and known as the People of Peace, Seelie/ Un-seelie Court, or the “Faery”, and they were acknowledged as an important part of the spiritual landscape, and the destiny of humanity and our world. Now…more than ever we are being called back to their wisdom and an intimate understanding of the underside of life also known as the Underworld. These “Angels-in-the-Land” are calling us back to our familial bonds with the sacred powers that flow up from the land and our blood knows this call. This workshop include information I have never shared before including extending the ancestral stream and the hosting of the Faery queen where two horizon culminating in a re-consecration of the sacred underworld and the human/Faery alliance.

Most cultures – but not all – call the directions as part of their rituals.  What are these directions?  What are we actually doing when we call them?  Who says that West can’t have an idea or East be emotional?  Who decided what color goes with which direction or what element?  Starhawk in Spiral Dance lists birds and trees, incenses and gems, and all sorts of other items to “correspond” to each direction.  Oh really?  Come learn and practice a new way to call directions.

Connecting the past to the future though the present one step at a time. We are all a part of the world’s fight for peace and this will continue long after we are gone. We can make it easier on our students and children by coming together as strong community.
