As we move through the cycles of the seasons, we find ourselves landing into the 8th month of this Emperor year, experiencing this years lessons as they unfold. August offers Strength, deep knowledge and a grounding foundation. We are moving towards fullness, welcoming our harvest, seeing and feeling that we have so much to glean.

This hour and a half workshop will begin with shared thoughts on Embodiment of the Tarot, moving towards somatic work in order to connect with our bodies, bringing forth magic and your personal connection with the Strength card. This workshop, the first of our Embodiment of the Tarot series, is held to seek physical understanding of ourselves through the lens of Strength, the tarot card of this month, as well as this years card, the Emperor. We will explore space to embody their lessons personally and collectively.

Bring your journal and anything that will make you feel cozy and supported, including cushions, blankets and/or blocks, bolsters, or pillows. We will be holding physical shapes for spans of time and calling in play: make sure you have space to expand in -- on the floor, standing and/or sitting.

* Please note that this is part of a MONTHLY SERIES, held on the 3rd Sunday of every month*

This is a LIVE digital event with a 2 week replay video post class. Due to this, no refunds are available for this class.

Teacher Bio:

MJ Bzdak is a Portland-based white, queer disabled witch. She leads embodiment classes and priestexx rituals aimed at connection with self, magical beings, and the natural realm. She believes more than anything that the path to deconstructing the harmful lived patterns around us (racism, sexism, classism, ableism, patriarchy) must exist within ourselves as well as externally. learning to be in our bodies for all the feels and sit with ourselves through discomfort is life long work that supports community connection and care. She is not an expert; just another flawed magical being in a body learning how to deeply show up with the time that she has on this plane.

Give witch-crafting a whole new personal meaning! Join us with instructor Lettie Jane Rennekamp for Drawing As Ritual, learning together to develop an artistic and magical practice from the comfort of your home. The workshop will include a quick intro about drawing practice, and how to use art as a tool for self-reflection and magical invention. Participants will see a series of Lettie Jane's art and other favorite artists to inspire your own creative spark. Join us in working through several guided art practices as a group, and have the option of sharing our processes!

This workshop is wonderful for all levels, and designed to help artists and witches find inspiration, self-reflection and meditation through drawing.

PLEASE BRING:

• 3-5 pieces of paper
• a pencil
• your favorite art supplies such as watercolors, colored pencils, markers, sumi ink, etc
• For drawing reference, please bring a plant or special object and a picture of someone you love.

Learn to become a Magickal Gardener!

In this course participants will not only learn how to plant by the zodiac, they'll also learn why this practice aligns with creating potent magick. Astrological gardening is an ancestral approach to planting, tending, and harvesting plants that has the potential to function as a deeply magickal practice for devoted followers. Aligning with the energetic signature of the moment in service to the plants one tends is a technique for weaving more thorough intention (and improved outcomes) into one's spellwork.

Everyone who attends the workshop and ritual will glean an understanding of the principles of:

• Moon Gardening
• Garden Magick
• How to magickally work with both
• Ritual plant work
• Sigil magick basics

The workshop will culminate in a group Garden Magick ritual. Together, we will create a living altar that participants will tend and nurture as their spellwork develops over the months ahead. Participants will be ceremoniously potting a magickal houseplant to create their own personal “Living Altar” to tend.

TO-DO PRIOR TO WORKSHOP:

+ Before the workshop, choose a theme that is relevant to your life now, or perhaps that relates to the astrological themes of Augusts first quarter moon from Scorpio to Sagittarius.

+ With your intention in mind, select a plant that you wish to work with. Many herbs and flowers have well established magickal signatures and you may already have established plant allies.

+ Explore the qualities of different houseplants and research which ones you may want to work with.

+ Ask for the proper stone allies to work with and gather them. If your spellwork is focused on prosperity, for example, select stones to amplify that intention such as aventurine. Or if you are calling in increased peace and love, select rose quartz.

+ Have a flowerpot - consider how the shape, color, and even texture can enhance your magickal intention.

+ Come to class with a writing (or painting) implement for transcribing a sigil onto the inside of your flowerpot

+ Have ready an additional Herbs, Charms, or Magickal items to be ritually potted up with your plant.

Join Jade of 69herbs to get the scoop on making your own herbal infused bath bombs from scratch. So often bath fizzies from big companies are expensive and filled with harsh chemicals and synthetic dyes, leaving less-than-wonderful residues on our bodies, baths, and spiritual selves. Join us in learning how to use kitchen basics such as dried herbs and flowers, baking ingredients, salts, as well as fun bonuses like biodegradable glitter to craft our own bath bombs!

These can be magically infused for different moods and needs, using a variation of herbs, color, and scents. We’ll discuss the basics of flower essences, herbal concoctions that are supportive for bathing and the skin, and natural ways to dye your bath bombs. Class will include a special recipe that you can replicate on your own!
