Queries Answered about the Online Course

In the following video I have attempted to answer some queries that I have received about the upcoming Gifts from the Dark Goddess online course that will be commencing on Thursday, 28 April 2022 with a zoom call that will be recorded for those who are not able to attend.

Over the month we will journey into the Underworld, a metaphor for the subconscious mind, utilising the concept of the Dark Goddess as a psychopomp, a "spiritual guide".  During this time, we will be tapping into the cosmic energies of both the partial solar eclipse on 30 April or 1 May (depending where you live) as well as the total lunar eclipse on 15 or 16 May 2022.

It is also interesting to note that just after our descension is the timing of two opposing Celtic festivals that mark the "gateways" to special turning points throughout the year - Samhain (for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere) or Bealtaine (for those in the Northern Hemisphere).  These festival occur on 30 April and according to their associated lore, are times when the veil between the land of the living and the realm of the dead is at its thinnest. 

Registrations for Gifts from the Dark Goddess are open until Wednesday, 27 April 2022.  After that time, the accompanying Facebook group will be changed to "secret" and we will commence our descent.

More information about Gifts from the Dark Goddess can be found here.

Gifts from the Dark Goddess

Gifts from the Dark Goddess is an exploration into your deep shadow self through the connection with various “darker” aspects of the divine feminine in order to commence positive change at the deepest level.

This workshop presents you with the unique opportunity to step through the veil and into the realm of the Inner Self, to meet and embrace your Shadow Self, to remove the unwanted and to reclaim what has been missing.

From the moment that you enter through the veil, you will be accompanied by various aspects of the divine feminine, those Goddess who prefer to reside in the shadowy realms, who move through the dreamscape, where linear concepts such as time have no meaning.

By awakening the “darkness” within your own soul, you can cast aside those rose-tinted glasses and see things for what they truly are.  Through her guidance and drawing upon her strength and power (that is often feared), you will find the courage to stand up and voice your own “truth” – to stand in your own “power”.

Deep soul work such as this requires 100% commitment.  If you are serious about wanting to make change in your life, to break free of cyclic patterns, to gain true closure, you need to step into the shadows and journey deep within yourself in order to face what resides there.

A month long on-line sadhana (spiritual journey) will be commencing Thursday, 28 April 2022 and will continue until Wednesday, 25 May 2022.

This journey is a spiritual exploration, into your deep shadow self through the connection with various “darker” aspects of the divine feminine in order to commence positive change at the deepest level.

Moon Con is Happening Again

Due to the success of last year's event, Moon Books (the Pagan / Shaman imprint from John Hunt Publishing) will be organising another weekend long event where you get an opportunity to chat too and listen to a whole host Moon Book authors.

Commencing on Saturday, 2 July 2022, at 11am (British Standard time - or 7.30pm ACST) with Australian druid author Julie Brett, other authors include Rachel Patterson, Lucya Starza, Ellen Evert Hopman, Jhenah Telyndru and Irisanya Moon - and that is only day one.

I kick off the Sunday round, along Elen Sentier, Andrew Anderson, Morgan Daimler and concluding with Cyndi Brannen.  Sunday will also see a popular Druidic panel consisting of Brendan Howlin, Robin Herne and Luke Eastwood.

The event will be run live from the Moon Books' facebook page, and the best news is that this two day event is free.

If you miss your favourite author or would like to check out last year's MoonCon, then the videos can be found on Moon Books' YouTube channel.
