The Sacred Space Conference

It’s the in-between. Liminal space is the focus of many practices, from witchcraft to paranormal investigations to history to geography. Almost everyone touches liminal space and steps into its otherworldly connection. Join experienced ghost tour guide and lifelong practitioner, Rissa Miller, for this multifaceted journey to the threshold. From spirits and entities to gemstones and waterways; from crossroads to rituals and prayers, she will guide you through the veil to the edge of perception. These gateways have been a part of the earth experience since before written history. Learn how and why the liminal matters, and the healthiest ways to interact with the blurs where our ordinary reality fades.

Weapons are not always “sharp pointy things”. Simple, common metal items can become magical weapons as well. We will discuss some magical metal weapons and the gear that is found in various parts of the Irish Lore and mythology. From there, we will talk about ideas, concepts, and applications that can be used today in our magical working. We will talk about the properties of several common metals like copper, brass, and the differences between iron and steel.  We’ll discuss how to be intentional in our work for future use and will brainstorm ideas on how to be creative by adding those things to our magical toolbox. We will explore examples of creating magical tools from everyday, easy to get items. Now is the time to expand your magical toolbox with shiny stuff. If you use any metal in your practice, or want to, this workshop is for you!

In this presentation Coby will discuss the history of the witch’s flying ointment, including the contributing factors to how it is understood today. Through an analysis of recipes from the medieval period we will uncover the importance of key ingredients in these formulations, and how to create safe and effective formulas for modern usage. Attendees will learn how to extract and prepare these formulas using plants from the nightshade family for both medicinal and magical purposes.
