The Gifts of the Witch-Father (Ritual)
Presented by: Jason Mankey
In Traditional Witchcraft the Horned One is often called the Witch-Father. The Witch-Father is the primordial spirit of nature and watches over the Witches who honor him. Together we will tread the Witch’s Mill, meet the Witch-Father and receive his gifts. Our rite together will be a journey, a revelation, and a celebration of the Horned One’s power and grace.
Exorcising Toxic Religion From Your Soul
Presented by: John Beckett
Many people find Paganism after leaving fundamentalist Christianity or other toxic religions. Moving on is necessary and good, but unless we deal with our religious baggage we will never be truly free and our new path will never be as fulfilling as it could be. Note: this is not a ritual - rituals alone cannot remove the tentacles of toxic religion. It's not therapy - if you need therapy, please see a mental health professional. This is a spiritual process that will help you deal with religious trauma and build a solid foundation for a healthy and meaningful Pagan practice.
Lilith, Maman Brigitte and Pomba Gira : The Dark Goddesses of Your Dreams
Presented by: Lilith Dorsey
The ancient and powerful Goddesses of the night have been honored for centuries, and in some cases millennia. There is Lilith, mistress of the dark, draped in sensuality and strength who has long been demonized by a male dominated society. Next we have Maman Brigitte, Queen of the Dead, who devotees turn to for justice and protection. Last, but certainly not least, this workshop will discuss the bare breasted and un-apologetically sexual Pomba Gira who can spin the world. In this class we will talk about giving respect and tribute to these sacred feminine forces with shrines, spells, and more.

Deconstructing the Gender of Magical Items
Presented by: Amie Campbell
When researching magical items, we’ve all seen where certain items are associated with a gender, typically male or female. Some of these associations are based on traditional practices, but many are remnants of colonial practices. In this workshop we will discuss using our intuition to sit with and learn the nature of various items. Participants will then get to practice this skill with various plants, herbs, and crystals.
