THE INNER MYSTERY TRADITION ~ a workshop on the three great mysteries: birth, life, and death. These are the timeless questions: Where did I come from, why am I here, and what happens after I die? This focuses on the approach to understanding these questions through spiritual alignments to the threads of the mysteries themselves. The practical use and application of three cords of different colors is demonstrated through a shamanic tool known as the Witches' Tree.
CAULDRON OF MEMORY~ This presentation provides information on the construction and use of a shamanic tool known as the Witches' Tree, which is used to open portals between the worlds. Three colored cords comprise the Witches' Tree, and represent the realms known as the Overworld, Middleworld, and Underworld. The presentation includes a guided meditation to align with the ancestral spirit. Covered in the workshop is instructions on making and using the Witches' Tree. This device can be used to explore the inner mysteries and Otherworld realities.

PSYCHIC SELF-DEFENSE ~ Many people are worried that they are under psychic attack. This workshop stresses the idea that such attacks from another source are highly unlikely, but shows how our psyches are constantly under attack from advertisers, politicians and even friends and family members. Techniques which will allow people to overcome psychic attacks, prevent reoccurrence and be aware of psychic attacks and attacks on our psyches will be given and demonstrated.
THE SECRETS OF MAGICAL EVOCATION ~ For years, people have read in books and seen in movies the magical process of "summoning up" some entity or beastie from another plane or dimension of existence. This is possible-but not in the way they show it in the movies. In this class you will learn the true secrets of magical evocation and how you can cause non-physical entities to appear before you. You will learn the secrets of the grimoires such as the Keys of Solomon. This is a startling class, and the first such public explanation of this long-hidden magical secret.
Presented by Donald Michael Kraig, please see his bio on the "Guest" page.
PUBLIC AND PAGAN: It Ain't All Yahtzee and Mai Tais ~ When you slap a bumper sticker on your car declaring your faith - especially if it follows an alternative path - you invite attention. When you record a song or have book published you not only invite it, you need it if you are going to be successful. However, the public microscope reveals not only your accomplishments, but your warts too. Perception often overrules reality and suddenly you find that you are notable and notorious at the same time. Best selling authors Dorothy Morrison and M. R. Sellars talk about their own experiences and how they've negotiated the mine field of public scrutiny - from both sides of the fence.

EMPATH RECOGNITION AND SUPPORT ~ This workshop addresses empaths, those who are bombarded by the emotions in their environment. People who open themselves to powerful universal energies and archetypes tend be born or to become empathic and the impact can be overwhelming, even incapacitating.
