Paganism 101

For the blossoming witch, the burgeoning polytheist, and the nature-lover who feels the divine in the soil, stones and trees.

Beginners, intermediates, and folks who wanna brush up on the basics, this workshop is for you. If you're looking for a way to celebrate, honor, and reconnect with the Earth, you just found it.

We'll be covering as much ground as we can for a concept as broad as paganism: ethics, various pagan traditions, rituals, sabbats, deities, Satan, practices like protection, magic and divination, issues and conflicts within the pagan community, and finally, how to initiate and explore your own path.

Note that this will be a Western/European focus on paganism; I will briefly discuss traditions like Santeria, Voodoo and Shinto for context, but I will focus on areas I have experience and knowledge in, such as Wicca, Heathenry and Celtic Reconstructionism.

“You’ve made me spiritual again! I grew up in a [religious] household that instilled incredible amounts of shame and guilt in me…I’m still working through those feelings in everything I do. I never thought I’d connect to a spiritual feeling again; but you changed that for me. I know god is in me, is me, that I am divine and magical. You’ve opened up a way for me to have a spiritual practice that nurtures and encourages me to be better for myself and my community. So much love for you!” - a Paganism 101 student
