Fear as a Source of Magic

Fear is a powerful emotion. It can overwhelm us at time, compel us at other times, it can even translate into an identity. Fear as a source of magic will take a look at how we "do" fear, what is it, where does it come from. Magic is often said to be empowered by drawing up strong emotions and focusing them into the working; in this workshop we will explore a different way of working with fear. Fear can be enlightening, give us vital information, as well as direction. During this workshop we will experience fear from a new perspective, allowing for growth and understanding of self.

Black Rose Bookshop presents Divination Workshop with Tommie StarChild

Black Rose Bookshop presents Divination Workshop with Tommie StarChild

Saturday September 13th 2014

7:00 to 9:00pm

Divination is an art as old as mankind. It was referenced in the Bible know as "casting lots." Mankind has consulted oracles to seek divine and/or unknown information to run empires, conduct wars, when and whom to marry, plant crops, all manner of information seeking for the purpose of conducting daily living. Today, divination is used less to run empires, and more for personal direction and/or insight. During this workshop we will discuss many forms of divination (cards, stones/bones, pendulum, meduimship, gazing, etc…). There will be a brief overview of the art and craft of divination and then we will get down to playing with the tools of this ancient craft. Attendees are encouraged to bring with them the divination tools they personally use, as well as, tools you would like to learn to use. The tools of divination vary greatly, yet the art is in the diviner. We will learn how to listen to our internal knowing to reveal the messages of truth.

 

Workshop $37.00 payable at Pay Pal billing@myauthenticself.com or at door day of event.

Pulling Spirit Workshop at Black Rose Bookshop

Black Rose Bookshop presents: "Pulling Spirit" Workshop with Tommie StarChild

July 12th, 2014 7:00pm to 9:00pm San Luis Rey, California
 

Pulling Spirit Workshop by Tommie StarChild The art and craft of magic and witchcraft have become one of the fastest growing religious/spiritual practices over the last decade. Many books are written on the subject of how to, and classes can be found all over the world. One thing that is often not found is the foundational practice vital to working the craft. Pulling Spirit takes a look at the deep mystery of calling up one’s own spirit, what is our spirit, and why this is vital to all magic work. We will discuss the dampers on the spirit and how these create false masks that deceive others and ourselves. We will learn diagnostic tools to recognize these imbalances and how to realign. Pulling Spirit is a powerful practice and the basis by which all other magic work is formed.
