THE DESCENT OF PERSEPHONE
PLEASE NOTE: This workshop will occur in the afternoon, before Wendy and Ivo’s Midsummer ritual and concert, and at the same location.
Join Visionary Songstress Wendy Rule as she explores the central themes of one of Western Cultures most important myths – the Ancient Greek story of the descent into the Underworld of the maiden goddess Persephone, and the subsequent grief of her mother Demeter, the goddess of the grain. Wendy will use songs from her current project ‘Persephone’ (new album to be released in October, 2018), as well as stories from her ongoing travels to the myth’s sacred sites in Greece to unveil some of the most vital aspects of this complex and transformative myth. Combining ritual, music, meditation, discussion and story, Wendy’s workshops are powerful and joyful experiences that deepen our understanding of Myth, Magic and The Goddess.

Vickie was one of a kind and the best kind too. In her life she touched so many people in such positive ways. She would see something that needed to be done and quietly do it, no fanfare, no look at what I did, she just found joy in helping. She was inquisitive, loved books and learning, life was a great adventure for her and she embraced it all. Her life was a gift and blessing to all who knew her. Her death will be keenly felt by all those she touched. She is now a bright star in the heavens.
In lieu of flowers her family asks that donations be made to the New Alexandrian Library in Vickie’s name.

The use of casting as a means of establishing sacred space is a common practice in Wiccan and Neopagan traditions. In fact it is widely considered the most important step in spiritual and magickal work. And yet few really know how to do it or do it well.
In Casting Sacred Space, Neopagan practitioner Ivo Dominguez, Jr., offers a comprehensive introduction to the techniques and rituals of casting, including:How to become grounded and centered before one beginsThe proper timing for casting and ritual workHow to open up one’s psychic senses to work with subtle energiesHow to set the stage for magickal work both internally and externallyProtection, symbols, and meditations for maintaining sacred spaceThe Circle, the Quarters, and other modes of casting sacred spaceQuartering, energy work, and many cross-practice connections including Qabala and chakras.
This is a practical, accessible handbook for the beginner with cross appeal to seasoned practitioners of ritual magick.
