 Deer-Woman Dreaming: Shadow, Shapeshifting, and Word-Witchery


~ This course is free for those who purchased The Holy Wild Grimoire: A Heathen Handbook of Magick, Spells, and Verses ~ 

Offer Ends November 22nd, 2022


A story lantern illuminates what must be seen, and a mythic image is a wise, ancient teacher. The timeless tale of Deer-Woman Dreaming casts its golden glow upon our shapeshifting nature, our most elusive shadows, and the tension between relationship and sacred solitude. 

In this mini-course, we name the myth of Deer-Woman an energetic container of wisdom. We name the imagery met through the story as oracle, and we engage in the divinatory practice of word-witchery, creating a personal system of divination from our kinship with the story. Each of the five lessons invites the practitioner to engage in introductory forms of mythic witchcraft, including word-witchery, mythic oracle deck crafting, and shadow work.

Overview of Lessons:

Lesson I: Deer-Woman Dreaming

In this first lesson, you will listen to the story of Deer-Woman and create a “word palette” from the story to use in subsequent lessons.

Lesson II: This, That, All

In the second lesson, we will discuss the three layers of relationship to story, writing a mini-memoir and divining what must be known from our own words.

Lesson III: Mythic Image Teachers

The third lesson in this mini-course explores how mythic imagery can be the best medicine, how a single mythic image can show us what we must see.

Lesson IV: Deer-Woman’s Oracle

In the fourth lesson, we will create an oracle deck sourced from the hallowed ground between the story’s imagery and our own memories.

Lesson V: The Shapeshifter’s Threshold

Lastly, in the final lesson, you will create your own ritual of threshold-crossing, of coming closer to the “original wild,” of affirming the holiness of innocence and the merit of stubborn hope. The final lesson concludes with a reflection on the course and opportunities for going deeper into the practice of mythic witchcraft.
