We do so for guidance\, teaching\, and magickal aid from the spirits\, service to our community\, and to offer reciprocity for their wants and needs. Collectively our spirits might be from the realms of ancestors\, angels\, faeries\, land spirits\, masters\, and the gods. Our methods range from the process of journeying to the spirits to communicate with them in their natural environment through meditation and pathworking\, or bringing them more fully into our world to communicate with us. Learn how to prepare the ritual environment conducive for spirit contact\, often through a magick circle\, and the method by which we to draw the spirit into a human oracle who will speak for the spirit\, or into a vessel such as a crystal\, mirror\, flame\, or smoke. Drawing from modern Witchcraft\, grimoire traditions\, tantric theurgy\, mediumship\, shamanism and the master builder tradition\, learn adapted modern\, safe(r) techniques to make these beings and practices a part of your spiritual life.

What if a goddess is a little bit of each? Can a fertility goddess be vengeful? Would a death goddess offer comfort? Contemporary goddess worship is quick to label goddesses as “dark” or “light\,” without considering the nuances and context of the era from which they originated. By looking at the powerful contradictions within Brigid\, Hekate\, and The Morrigan\, we will explore the “scarier” parts of these three goddesses\, and discuss the importance of becoming comfortable with these aspects both in the goddesses and in ourselves.
