Betwixt & Between: Exploring the Faery Tradition of Witchcraft
The Faery tradition of witchcraft is a wildly diverse path of magic. Stemming from the teachings of the late Victor & Cora Anderson, Faery draws inspiration and power from many sources and offers those who would practice its hidden ways an opportunity to embrace the shining realm of Enchantment. Using material from Storm's new book, "Betwixt & Between", we will discuss some of the basics of this often-misunderstood path and perform a rite to invoke the Old Powers for personal blessing, development, and a deepening of our own witch power.

DIY Talismans
Astrological talismans from the Scholastic Image Magic tradition often seem as challenging to make as they are powerful. After electing the window of time in which a talisman can be created, one must confect incenses, select appropriate sigils, and obtain tools and materials for the talismans. We will discuss how to create a talismanic laboratory, the process of practical considerations including choosing the best combinations, knowing which substitutions do and don't work, and time and money saving strategies. Take the theory of talismans into real life creations and applications.

From Grimoires to the Book of Shadows: A Short History of Magickal Books
Many Modern Witches keep or have inherited a Book of Shadows unique to their tradition, but just how old is the idea behind the BoS? Could it have originated before Modern Witchcraft emerged in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s? Grimoires and other occult books have been an integral part of the Western Magickal Tradition for centuries, and their influence has been felt within a variety of spiritual and magickal traditions, and is still a large part of what many Witches and Pagans practice today. Come learn the histories behind such famous works as “The Key of Solomon” and Agrippa’s “Books of Occult Philosophy” and how the modern Book of Shadows went from being a well guarded secret to a system shared in a variety of popular printed works.

History of Cemeteries pt. 2 - So You Want to be a Grave-robber!
Grave-robbers, Resurrectionists, Sack-em-up men. Call them what you will, they practiced an abhorred, yet fascinating occupation. They snuck into church-yards and cemeteries, in the dead of night, to steal the bodies of the recently dead. Despised both by the public, and even by the medical community they served, these men took enormous chances. Why would anyone risk not only imprisonment or hanging at the hands of the law, but guards, vigilantly mobs, and cleverly laid booby traps just to make a living? And what techniques did they employ to obtain their macabre goods and escape undetected? Come find out...if you dare!

Proof of the Pagan Pudding
"Proof of the pudding is in the eating" is a proverb that originated during the 14th century when pudding was a mystery meat sausage. If you didn't get sick from ingesting it, the pudding was considered proven. Has your pagan path proved it can sustain your soul or has it made you spiritually sick? We read books, attend lectures, take classes to gain wisdom. However, those sources are based on others' interpretations. Opinion is not necessarily a synonym for wisdom. So, how does one know who or what to believe in this world of instant experts? We will explore the roles of knowledge, ego, and experience in the quest for pagan wisdom. Handouts provided.

When Gerald Gardner went public as one of England’s first Modern Witches in 1951 he spoke of being a part of an initiate only “Witch­cult” and called the Witches who initiated him “The Wica.”  By the end of the 1960’s Gardner’s Witchcraft was known by many as Wicca, and by the end of the 1970’s Wicca was no longer limited to just initiates. How did this all happen and what are the origins of Gardner’s Craft? Just where do Traditional Witches fit into all of this and what sort of impact have they had on Witchcraft traditions today?

Society has told us from birth what is expected of us. This includes what we should look like, how we should act, what as kids we should play with, what as adults we should do, and the list goes on. Ethics are a wonderful guide and we should have a solid foundation of them. When our personal feelings and preferences do not match societal standards even though we have a good set of ethics, confusion and frustration begins to take a toll on our mental and physical health and well-being. This class is going to try and dispel some of the myths of societal expectations and reveal truths so that we can find more confidence and love of self to go forth and be the strong person who is within.

Fearless Magical Protection
It's a jungle out there. In most magical systems one of the first things you are taught is basic protection against spiritual attacks, and for good reason. A magical life is a perilous one at times. As you become more proficient, the need for protection grows and takes new forms. This class will survey practical methods of protection from a variety of spiritual systems and methodologies. Some of these techniques are unpublished anywhere and likely to be unfamiliar, but have proven very effective. Magical protection will help secure your success.

Nonlinearity and Magic
Magic uses a nonlinear paradigm which contrasts significantly with the linear thinking common for the last five hundred years. Major areas of modern life, including commerce and social structures, have been dominated by linear assumptions, but recent re-understandings of math and science are opening the way to an increase in nonlinear thinking. This presentation discusses historical examples and highlights connections between magic and current developments in nonlinearity.

Giving and Getting Good Vibes
Magickal spaces can be so nourishing and often create powerful experiences with our community & seekers. There are also lots of ways things can go wrong, especially when alcohol or the state of trance sets in. The trick to avoiding epic backlash is to navigate consent, boundaries, & touch without letting it kill the vibe. Tuning into our body & that of others to reach a zone of mutual yes poises us for amazing rites in powerfully united circles. We'll go through some drills to help find easy ways to share intent with others. Covering how to: tune into intent more fully to share with a partner or group; tools for honoring the contribution & consent of partners; offer & receive an ethical invitation for hugs, spellwork, or other non-magickal stuff; earn authentic feedback.
