Authors Amber K and Azrael Arynn K will discuss what magick really is, the

workings sublime and ridiculous, and the many styles of magick that are practiced
in Wicca today. Following the presentation, they will sign copies of their

Transformation and Celebration.
Free and open to the public

You can work magick to bring love, health, prosperity, and joy into your

Pyramid. You will learn to design and create your own spell for any ethical
purpose. This will be an experiential workshop with many hands-on exercises.

Rituals can mark the changing seasons of the year, or the changes in your
life. They can honor the gods or heal old emotional scars. They can lead you to
become the person you dream of being, or they can be hilarious romps that
celebrate the forces of sacred silliness in the world. A ritual is an
experience that you design, craft, and experience for any celebratory, spiritual, or
transformational purpose. After many hundreds of ritual experiences, Amber and
Azrael have a rich trove of stories and tips to share, and a lot of
fascinating activities and exercises that will polish your ritual skills. Wear ritual
robes and jewelry if you have them, otherwise anything fun, brightly
colored, and/or comfortable. Be prepared to get a little tired and maybe a lot
exhilarated. Open to those who will promise that the material taught will never be
used to harm another.
NOTE: Sign up for both full-day intensives for $150!
A portion of the proceeds from these workshops will go to support Ardantane,
a Pagan Learning Center headquartered in the Jemez Mountains of northern New
Mexico.
Classes for MARCH, 2007
Sat-Sun Mar. 3-4 Ethics for Pagan Leaders Ardantane
Amber & Scott Leadership
The Good, the Bad, and the Muggley
How do we know when we are leading or participating with honesty, integrity,
and honor? What guidelines can light our way through the murky landscape of
Pagan relationships and politics? How do Pagan standards of ethical behavior
differ from those in the muggle world that surrounds us, and how are they teh
same? Join is for a weekend of lively discussion, scenarios familiar and
unfamiliar, exercises and resources. Discuss both ethical theory and the
application of theory to situational ethics. Emerge with your path more clearly
marked, by your own hand and heart. Along the way: gorgeous scenery, tasty
snacks and beverages, fun companions on the journey of discovery.
