What is our relation to Mystery and the Mysterious Ones, that is, to Spirit and Spirits? How do we call to them? How do we linger with them, listen to them, love them? How might we embody them, and how might we manifest them in our lives and in the world?
In this series of workshops, we will explore all of these questions. In particular, we will strengthen our skills in working with the Mysterious Ones, whether they be the Spirits of Nature, our Ancestors, or the Gods. The skills that we build here will be relevant both to our personal practice and to community ritual.
The first workshop, Invocation, will focus on how to effectively call the Mysterious Ones into the circle, starting with the invocation of our Divine Selves.
The course costs $25 to $50 per workshop, sliding scale. No one will be turned away for lack of funds; scholarships and work exchange are available. We try to balance the need to justly compensate teachers for their labor with our commitment to make our work available to people of all economic levels.

I am Feris (he/him) , Witch, herbalist, and healing arts practitioner, living on the sovereign and unceded lands of the susquehannock, Piscataway Conoy, and Lumbee people. My magical praxis is rooted in Hoodoo Rootwork, and Traditional Witchcraft, as both lineages are alive in my blood. As a Wildwood initiate I am passionate about the restorative work of healing arts and the liberatory power of the craft.
