The Sacred Space Conference

This workshop, led by three active, published, and magical writers offers three approaches to bringing your magical and writing life into deeper conversation. The power of the word is indisputable and indisputably magic. If the verb “to spell” tickles all your witch-y senses in two ways, this workshop is for you. Speaking and transcribing words, placing words in a particular order, and sharing the texts we create is not just a rote ability—advanced practitioners know that a magical sensibility breathes special life, vision, and presence into language; via our language choices we influence, create, change, understand, observe, record, preserve, cherish, celebrate, honor, perform, make space, identify, and revise. In light of this power, many cultures viewed poets as prophets and poetry as the voice of the Gods. This workshop delves into the ways that magic, the magical life, and writing entwine and inform one another. Magical Writer One: We all know that witches write spells, but a witch who writes can weave magic with their very words. As a professional scientific writer by day, and a creative writer by night, this presenter will discuss the immense power and responsibility that we have as witches when we put our words – any words – to paper. Magical Writer Two: This speaker is an educator who finds solace in writing historical fantasy seeped in mythology and folklore. The presenter will talk about the connection between writing and the divine, including potential techniques for linking writing and spiritual practices, and experiences with writing deities as fictional characters. 

What role does applied magical practice have on the modern battlefield?  Join WR Neumann where he discusses the magical techniques that he has used during his thirty year military career to enable mission team successes.  This workshop will discuss techniques from mental influence, divination, camouflage and cloaking, and “pushing probability”.

Join Druid and Coroner, Kristoffer Hughes on a journey to examine the intersectionality of the physical world with that of the spiritual. The 20th Century Occultist Dion Fortune once said “Before the ascent into spirit can commence, the descent into matter must be complete”, and yet often the body and physical form is neglected for the numinous experience of the spirit. In this class Hughes will guide you on a journey through the perplexing and magical world of the human body and its ability to express and manifest mystery. We will explore native teachings that speak of this intersectionality in surprising manners. Discover how your body is a vessel of expression that is something the universe is actively doing and how that wisdom can be incorporated into your spirituality.
