September has arrived and the promise of spring is still being held as a tease as winter does not appear to be ready to loosen its grip. The upcoming sabbat (seasonal observation) is the spring equinox, the time of the year when the hours of darkness and light appear to be equal, if only for a brief moment. If you would like to know more about the spring equinox, in this video I share some information from my book, Dancing the Sacred Wheel:
On Sunday, 4 September 2022 I was invited to speak to the Indian Pagan Group about some of the challenges of following a more traditional style of paganism in the Southern Hemisphere. Due to the time zone differences, this meant I had to stay up until 11pm to join the online call.
I am delighted that my presentation was well received and I had been invited to present again at some time in the night so distant future.
One of the attendees had noticed the 21 day online sadhana, Journey into Freedom with Kali, that I had run recently and commented that they has also undertaken a devotional journey with Kali that had brought many (mostly positive) changes into their life.
With it being September, this means that the Australian Wiccan Conference is only a week or so away, being held from Friday, 16 to Sunday, 18 September 2022, in rural Victoria, located close to the Great Ocean Road and adjacent to a number of national parks including the Great Otway National Park and Port Campbell National Park.
My workshop will be a practical one of the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram - the foundational ritual that is found within high or ceremonial magick traditions. It forms the basis of a magical system for invoking angelic forces, banishing negative influences, and also connecting to the divine. This ritual has profoundly influenced the entire Western Mystery Tradition, including contemporary witchcraft, due to the invaluable skills contained within.
More information about this year's Australian Wiccan Conference, how to secure your tickets can be found here.
I am also delighted to announce that I will be taking part in the Scottish Goddess Conference (from Tuesday, 13 to Sunday, 18 September 2022), where the theme for this year's conference in "The Goddess of the Witches". My presentation will be on Exploring the Magick of Shadows with Nephthys. If you are interested in getting your ticket to this on-line event, you can do it here.
WORKSHOP - ENERGETIC AND EMOTIONAL CORD CUTTING
On Saturday, 24 September 2022 I will be running the first of three practical witchcrafting workshops, commencing with Energetic and Emotional Cord Cutting.
As energetic beings, we become connected to people and in some cased even circumstances, throughout our lives. Cord cutting is a powerful healing technique that will enable you to reclaim parts of your soul and regain freedom.
:: Identify what energetic or emotional cords are attached to your energetic bodies,
:: Various techniques that will assist in the removal of any unwanted cords,
:: Engage self-soul protection to prevent the re-attachment of any energetic or emotional cords once they are removed,
Through learning how to release unwanted emotional and energetic cords, you are ale to reclaim parts of your soul that may have been suppressed.
Cord cutting is a practice to untether your soul from the lower frequency that holds you back from living your best life. With awareness comes release, with release comes healing.
As there are limited places available, you will need to ensure that you book your place prior to 21 September 2022 through Eventbrite.
