IN THE NAME OF SELF
The second in a series of online workshops exploring and empowering the Iron Pentacle.
”There is very little that cannot be accomplished in the world through working on the self.” -Victor Anderson
This seven week online workshop will take us deep into the threefold nature of Self and its myriad manifestations. Beginning with foundational questions and practices, we will mine our depths for the multi-faceted jewel of Healthy Selfhood. Through reading, discussion, a variety of exercises and ritual magic we will endeavor to eloquently express that jewel in thought, word and deed. Of course, we will also explore how Self connects to the other points on our Iron Pentacle- Passion, Pride, Power and Sex-informing and shaping the whole while also being fed and shaped by them. Iron Pentacle is a dynamic magical tool for the empowerment of the Feri Witch and through us, the world we engage with.
IN THE NAME OF SELF is a celebration and affirmation of the three-fold spirits we are-Human, Wild and Divine. Expect it to be juicy, surprising and personally revelatory. Expect to work hard and to be delighted as we come to know the Nature of Self as it is expressed in lore and through the gods of the Feri Tradition. If “God is self and self is god and god is a person like myself,”* then who does that make you.
June 16 - July 28, 2009. Registration dead-line is June 12, 2009. Space is very limited. Early registration will assure your place. For more information, please go to http://blackheartferi.com/training/inthenameofself.htm
I am committed to co-creating a respectful container within which to discuss all manner of topics related to Self. While this is a workshop where we will discuss and employ magic and ritual for the development of Healthy Selfhood, it is not group-therapy. Nor is it a support or affinity group. If you are in need of psychological, medical, legal or financial advice, I strongly suggest you locate a professional who can provide those services for you.

ALL MIRRORS BRIGHT AND DARK
REFLECTIONS OF THE TWINS
In this thirteen week online intensive we will explore the stories, lore and reality of the Divine Twins as they manifest as distinct entities in continual dynamic interaction with one another. Of course, we know that God is Self, so we will spend a good deal of time examining how the Twins manifest within us.
Brothers and lovers, the Divine Twins are continually reborn in the orgasmic fulfillment of the Star Goddess’ desire to Know Herself. They are known by many names and stories of them abound among the Feri and in other traditions. They are the marriage of opposites from which paradox is born-ferocity and compassion, fiery and cool, will and surrender. As such, they embody the queer nature of the Feri tradition. They are all we aspire to be and everything we fear we might be. Both beautiful and terrible, their dance is the unending song of creation and destruction.
Their gift is to show us ourselves in all our wholeness and disparate parts. Are you ready to hear their music; to enter their dance and meet their awe-full and beauty-full gaze?
June 15 - September 8, 2009. . Class size is limited so as to develop and maintain intimacy between us. Registration and payment in full is required NO LATER THAN June 12, 2009. For more information please go to http://blackheartferi.com/training/divinetwins.htm
