The position of the moon in your natal chart can have many meanings in astrology, but for Witches and Pagans, it can be a powerful window into the aspects of the Goddess that speak most directly to you, and through you. We will explore how our moon sign shapes our initial experience of the Goddess as children as well as how it provides a framework for our lifelong path of spiritual Work. We will also explore how the phase of the moon on our birthdate shapes our natural goddess power. An accurate time of birth will be very helpful for this workshop but is not absolutely necessary. No prior knowledge of astrology is required.

The Elder Futhark create a beautiful system of divination, though finding good information about them can be difficult - especially for queer, progressive, modern heathens and witches. Norse mythology includes an incredible diversity of gender and sexual expression, but this has been largely excluded from books published on contemporary heathenry or runic divination. Even worse, the runes have been wrongfully co-opted by white supremacists and heathens have to actively fight against this stereotype of the rune reader. In recent years, rune readers have been reclaiming the feminine side of the runes, bringing nuance to the craft. In this talk, Siri will explore the queer qualities of the runes through understanding pre-Christian Nordic gender concepts, translating that through a simulation and simulacra, and carving from this root culture a modern future-facing divination system.
Delve into the untamed and shadowy aspects of Norse Heathenry in this thought-provoking workshop. Hail the Shadows explores the paths less traveled within the Norse tradition, focusing on Thursatru, a gnostic left-hand path religion focused on self-empowerment in working with the Thurses, and Rokkatru, a tradition venerating the darker deities and adversarial figures of the Norse pantheon, such as Loki, Hel, and Fenrir. Discover how these esoteric approaches challenge conventional perceptions, embrace personal empowerment, and illuminate the transformative potential of working with chaos, shadow, and primal energies.
When we are tired and burned out it is easy to fall into the cycle of self sabotage. Cuchulain is often called the greatest of mythical Irish warriors. Despite this many of his stories are about how the hero sabotages his own success. Most famously he spurs the aid of the Morrigan, and she attacks him in the form of a wolf, heifer, and eel. Through these shapes we can explore where in our lives we have self sabotaged our own success. Through the lessons of these animal forms and the Morrigan's interactions with Cuchulain we can learn to heal the wounds within ourselves that leads
