Astrology Basics – Journey of the Sun through your Houses~ Presented by Aequitas
The sun transits through our natal astrological chart bringing light and awareness to 12 different areas of our lives, referred to as the 12 houses. When the sun visits each house, if you synchronize your monthly endeavors with that corresponding house, your earthly endeavors will be fruitful. Learn how to unlock the wisdom teachings of Sol as we work to bring more light into our lives. We will also explore the powerful planetary relationship between your natal Sun and Moon, and the amazing portent available using the “progressed sun” technique.

This is a communal offering to Hekate, the Goddess of the Crossroads. Greynolds Campgrounds sits at a crossroads and those crossroads have served our wonderful festival for the last 11 years.

As we leave offerings, we will sing a chant in Her honor

12th House as a Guide to Personal Transformation~ Presented by Rayna Templebee
Lets take a deep dive into the mysterious 12th house of astrology! Often denigrated as the house of ‘escapism’ or ‘self-undoing’ the true esoteric meaning of the 12th house is much more aligned with our personal path to transcendence and an experience of the divine. We will review the major ways the 12th house is interpreted in modern astrology with a focus on using planets and signs that fall in our natal 12th house as clues for how to transcend karmic lessons and experiences from previous lifetimes. By bringing these forces from our unconsciousness up to the surface we can learn about our hidden strengths and honor our vulnerabilities. No prior knowledge of astrology is needed but please bring a hard copy of your natal chart using Placidus houses.

Energy working with Lord Riekin
Raising and directing energy is central to successful magical workings.

In this class I will show you that the energy of mana is all around us and there for our use in infinite quantities. And I do mean show you. This is not a class in theory, but on hands on practice. I will show you how to give your magic, your life and the world around you more Ommph!

Honoring your Healing Team~ Presented by Alpandia

Washing your Icons~ Led by Lady Rayna and Canu
We are responsible for healing our ancestors and humanity. Join us as we wash our images of gods and goddesses in a sacred river to release them from all the projections of our over-culture. Together, let us re-consecrate in the ancient current. We bless our icons and our gods in the spirit of life itself, the ancient current, the original magick of earth and water.
NOTE: Please bring one (1) icon with you. We will be applying water to it, so be sure that water will not harm your statuary!

Becoming Naturalized: Spiritual Practice Through Animism~ Presented by Raine
Though many of our pagan ancestors do not arise from the waters and soil of the Americas, the strength and flourishing of our spiritual paths may depend on taking root in this “New World” and making kinship with its many spirits. The reconstruction of Norse, Greeco-Roman, Celtic, and even the Medieval witchcraft practices throughout Europe, stress the need to adopt the lore of new environments while preserving what ancient lore we can. This workshop will attempt to do just that for Florida—and specifically south Florida—residents. We can do more than call upon divine beings and spiritual aid from our distant homelands: we can live among a new host of spirit courts and mighty gods where we draw our breath. This workshop will guide participants through a few ways to collectively build an animistic practice with native plants, animals, and spiritual entities of the Land in Florida.

About Raine Funny how Craft names work, right? You decide on them in college when you’re a starry-eyed, fantasy nerd #babywitch and then, thirteen years later, your local Mother Goddess says it’s cute and you should use it more when presenting her to the world. Soooo, I’m Raine, local south Florida resident for the past two decades and devotee of Our Lady, Mother Florida* (a.k.a. Mamma Gator and Shimmering Waters). I’m originally from Cuba y hablo español even though I prefer English and never really had a Cuban accent (sorry, Miami). Maybe that’s why I use the name I do for Mother Florida, porque la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre esta en mi sangre, or something. I am uncompromisingly queer and a city-boy animist at my core, with a B.A. in Anthropology and big impractical ideas about culture. I’ve embraced all my weirdness and gotten precisely this far with it all.

Healing Ancestral Wounds and Ancestor Trees~ Presented by Canu
Take a journey to the River of Blood to encounter ancestors and utilize tools for healing ancestral trauma and ancestral relations. This workshop will involve discussing ancestry, healing ancestral trauma, and our ancestral trees. This workshop will involve a meditative section, so be ready to spend some of the time journeying together to the River of Blood from which all humanity arises.
