Here we are in the second month of this year already.
February will see the annual Yemaya Blessing of the Waters taking place on Monday, 6 February 2023.
As I mentioned last month, regular attendees of this event will notice that it will be taking place a month later than normally. This is because of personal commitments making me unavailable until February. As per usual, this event is "gold coin donation" and is open to the public.
More information about this event and what you are suggested to bring can be found here.
There are only TWO places now available for the first workshop that I will be offering this year, that being the House Cleansing and Protection workshop which will be taking place on Saturday, 11 February 2023. During this full day workshop we will be looking at how to cleanse your home from negative energies using sprays as well as commonly found (and grown) herbs, protecting your home by erecting protective energetic boundaries as well as powerful rituals such as the Rosy Cross.
Participants will also partake in the the practical component where they make a number of items for use in their own home.
I will also be offering a couple of workshops in February. There are limited places available, so bookings are essential. You can secure your place here.
The second workshop that I will be offering in February is the Journey through the Chakras workshop will take place on Saturday, 23 February 2023.
This workshop will provide participants with a detailed exploration through the seven major chakras (energy centres) as well as a number of minor chakras. I have noticed a rather sad demise of in-depth teaching occurring especially within the realms of energetic healing modalities where a course which was once held over two weekends (or even longer) is now reduced to half a day. I have always held the belief that no assumption should be made that a student already has a suitable level of understanding, and even if they do, there is always something new that can be learnt.
If you are interested in chakras, energy or personal healing, you might be interested in this workshop. The degree of foundational material will also be beneficial for anyone trained in various energetic healing modalities.
Further, as this workshop will form a module of the Metaphysical Healer's course that will be made available from 2024, the opportunity for a prior learning credit will apply.
You can secure your place here for the Journey through the Chakras workshop.
If online learning is more convenient, I have a number of courses available through Udemy which provides students with unlimited access and where they can study at their own pace.
The courses that I currently have available are:
Exploring the Dark Goddess consists of some three and a half hours of video content
Dancing with the Hindu Goddess Kali Ma consists of five hours of video content
Celtic Goddesses and Warrior Queens consists of some four and a half hours of video content.
Udemy offers an assortment of courses, however as some are better than others, it is recommended that a level of discernment be used when choosing.
Don't forget to subscribe to my newsletter where I provide insights on the magical, mystical and metaphysical matters.
There is still time available to submit an article, poetry, artwork or even ritual to the proposed anthology, Re-Visioning the Wheel of the Year, as the deadline has been extended until 31 March 2023.
It has been over ten years since I released Dancing the Sacred Wheel and as such, this proposed anthology is hoped to expand upon the concept of working with the sabbats and other seasonal festivals in the Southern Hemisphere beyond the contemporary witchcraft or pagan format.
If you are interested in contributing towards this unique anthology, more details can be found here.
Blessings, Frances
