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.
