August Events and Happenings

Another month has disappeared and all of a sudden we are greeted with Imbolc, the seasonal festival that marks the gateway to spring, and once again it feels like we are racing through this year.  If you would like to know more about Imbolc, in this video I share some information from my book, Dancing the Sacred Wheel:

ON-LINE EVENT

The last day of July also marked the commencement of the 21 day online sadhana (spiritual journey), Journey into Freedom with Kali where every day participants will receive an email containing information about this powerful Hindu goddess. I have extended the ability to join the sadhana until Saturday, 6 August 2022, so if you feel like you need assistance in removing blockages in your life, then make sure you register here before Saturday.

MARKETS

After a number of online conferences last month, during August you will find me back at the Semaphore Community Market this coming Sunday, 7 August 2022, where I will be available for readings as well as having an assortment of LunaNoire Creations products available.  The Semaphore Community Market will be held in St Bede's hall which is located at 200 Military Road, Semaphore, and will be open from 10am until 3pm.

The following Sunday, 14 August 2022, you will find me taking part in the Queen of Wands Psychic Fair at Blackwood. It has been a wee while since this market was last up at  the Blackwood Memorial Hall (located at 21 Coromandel Parade, Blackwood).  The market will be held from from 10am until 4pm, and you will find me at the LunaNoire Creations stall outside.

Then over the weekend of 20 and 21 August 2022, I will be at the Gawler Psychic Fair which will be held at the Gawler racecourse.  This is a huge bi-annual fair with stalls not only inside the club rooms but also under the pavilion and also around the grassed area.  The psychic fair will be open from 12 noon until 6pm on Saturday, 20 August 2022, and from 10am until 4pm on Sunday, 21 August 2022.  Look for me at the LunaNoire Creations stall under the pavilion.

At 10.30am on Sunday, 21 August 2022 at the Gawler Psychic Fair, I will be offering a free workshop on Witchcraft in the Southern Hemisphere.  If this is something that you are interested in, make sure you arrive early.

HEALING SESSIONS

In between these market appearances I will be available for Reboot Your Life sessions at the Isian Centre of Metaphysics in Parafield Gardens this coming Saturday, 6 August and the following Saturday, 13 August between 10.30am and 3.30pm only on both days.

EVENT

September seems to be shaping up to be a rather exciting month as I travel interstate to take part in the Australian Wiccan Conference that will be held from 16 to 18 September 2022.  I will offering a practical workshop on the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram - a rather appropriate subject considering that I am currently taking expressions of interest for a study circle involving ceremonial magick, qabalah, alchemy and ritual that will run until the end of this year.  If this is something that you are interested in then please contact me.

Submission Call for a new Book on the Sabbats

It is hard to believe that it has been ten years since I published my first book - Dancing the Sacred Wheel - that focused around my understanding of the eight sabbats that make up the "Wheel of the Year" as it is referred to within modern paganism as well as my own tradition of contemporary witchcraft. Since that time my practice as well as connection with the land upon which I reside has evolved.  While the traditional eight seasonal festivals still form an underlying influence to what I personally do, I have continued to look beyond the standard meanings, evolving and shaping the associated myths, as well as how I observe things.

Therefore, to mark the 10 year anniversary of Dancing the Sacred Wheel, I am interested in putting together an anthology that will include not only my own additional discoveries and explorations since 2012, but the personal ideas, discoveries and even frustrations from other pagans, witches, druids and other earth-centric practitioners as to how they work with the sabbats outside the traditional framework, regardless of what hemisphere they reside in.
