This workshop will explore tarot from the very beginning. It's aimed at those who have never used tarot at all or have a very limited knowledge. In the three hours, you'll uncover the differences and relation between the Minor and Major Arcana, break down the archetypes of the cards, introduce some basic spreads, and explore ways in which we can work towards learning the card meanings. We will look at the symbolism, elemental associations, numerology and patterns as well as using your intuition in a reading. BROWSE THE WORKSHOP SUPPLIES HERE
This workshop is focused on Spellcrafting. A spell is just another way to describe what is essentially a wish, a prayer, or manifestation. You don't need any previous knowledge or experience whatsoever. If you've been curious about the actual practice of witchcraft and what that entails, then this is the workshop for you. You'll learn how and why we create a sacred space for ritual, how to use energy and intention, discussing different types of spells and various methods we can use to cast our spells.

For those curious about the basics of astrology and applying the planetary knowledge to their own natal chart. We will look at the different houses and planets and how they affect your own personal chart. We'll also explore how to read a natal chart for yourself and others, covering signs, houses, planets, and aspects. No previous knowledge is required, as this is aimed at those new to natal charts and astrology. Please have your time of birth handy in order to generate an accurate chart.

The Moon Magick workshop is based around exploring the different phases of the moon, and the moon as it transits the different signs. This workshop looks specifically at using the energies of the moon in spellcraft and ritual, as well as our emotions around those times. We look at how we can best use these energies in our daily lives and spiritual practice. We will also look at the history of the moon and explore the Triple Goddess phases as they relate to the moon.

This workshop delves into the subconscious by exploring our dreams. We'll start by covering different types of dreams, lucid dreaming, dream interpretation and dream recall before diving into shadow work. You'll learn what the shadow is, and why this is not something to fear, how we can identify it, and most importantly start to integrate shadow for deep healing and growth. No experience or previous workshops required, accessible for total beginners. BROWSE THE WORKSHOP SUPPLIES HERE.
