Heka
Heka is the name for magick in Ancient Egypt and it is the inherent magical energy found within living beings. Heka can be seen as the creative force or life-giving energy connecting the symbols of life with the universe. It is a subtle tapestry of energy, which when used effectively allows the work of magick. It can be perceived as the animating and manifesting force of every ritual act. Heka, a gift from the sun god, Ra is a manifestation of his creative energy. My intention in this class is to provide you with information about Heka as well as a formula to more effectively access and utilize this power.
She Who Breathes The Throat
A contact that I work with who identifies as “She Who Breathes the Throat” has a particular interest in creating new pathways in areas of the mind and gnosis. The focus is on the movement of consciousness. The work includes a sensory component in that you will be taught to experience both being present and simultaneously moving through the inner levels while maintaining a sense of your Greater Self. This class will include techniques of shifting consciousness and exploration of gnosis, a principle that sparks the imagination. Our work will include a sigil and possibly direct contact with "She Who Breathes The Throat" to achieve a group movement of consciousness that will create a pathway that you can subsequently follow at later times if you desire.
When Two Worlds Touch
There are those times in life and ritual space where time and space is transcended. We stand in the threshold between the sacred and the profane. Insight, inspiration, cosmic love and guidance are sparked. A bubble had been created on the sea of unconsciousness and within it pure consciousness resides. All too soon the bubble burst and dissolves back into unconscious content leaving us with the nagging feeling that something precious has been lost or forgotten. But the mind may be opened creatively to these new possibilities and instructed with the deeper levels of inner landscape held within the bubble. This class will explore ways to foster consciousness to allow that bubble to rise up intact and to create a noticeable change in consciousness.
Lions And Serpents
There is a long and unique relationship between the Lion and it’s polar opposite the Serpent. The archetype of the serpent is traditionally cold, chthonic and moist against the lion as warm-blooded heat and fire. Symbolically they are sometimes depicted peacefully together and other times in opposition. This class with explore these two vast and intricate expressions of frequency whose face is that of the lion and the serpent. You will also be taught how to safely and effectively work with them as pillars using a formula that forms a gateway.
Magickal Imagination
This much discussed tool is used to change consciousness as well as to contact the forces of life behind the universe is spoken of often.

We will explore the psychological implications as well as why imagination is a cornerstone in magick. In addition, we will look at techniques and challenge the perception that they someone cannot improve their current level of imagination.
Trees and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life
The cosmic tree appears in religions, mythologies, paintings, and dreams around the world. The vast, creative inner truth of the tree extends itself outward capturing the human imagination. We have learned that trees communicate and send each other nutrients via a network of latticed fungi buried in the soil. Enchantment calls us to a special spirit in community. We will explore the lessons the tree offers us to re-enchant our lives and the world.

Ancient solar dynasties trace their heritage back to a principle, a cosmic intelligence that reflects pure spiritual light and formulates the Law (Dharma) appropriate to our cycle of existence. Their function is that of mediator, the builder of bridges and establishing communication between this world and the higher worlds. In addition to teaching we will have an experiential portion.
Preparing Mind, Body and Spirit for Human Interaction with The Divine
This class was inspired as a result of a class discussion about the history of human interaction with the Divine.
