August 21 & 22, 2021
Stories are the original spells. A tale whispered around a late-summer fire by a hag who speaks the language of crows might be manifestation magick at its best. A myth met well by an ailing spirit ‘neath a full moon might be a medicinal brew supped at just the right time. Tell a good story, and find yourself in communion with the old ones who speak through you, with the ghosts who know you well.
In this two-day immersion beneath the full moon in August, Danielle will guide you through the lost boneyard of ceremonial storytelling. Participants will be invited to learn three story ceremonies; these are essential spells of healing, protection, and manifestation to be set upon their witch-poet’s altars until the time is right.
Join the sessions live or view the recordings later. It is recommended (but not required) the classes be moved through in order.
All recordings will be posted the evening of 8/22. All times are in ET. Please note that the “join live” links are ONLY if you are joining the session live. The evening of 8/22, the “join live” links will be replaced with the recording links.
For all sessions, the only materials required are a journal and writing utensil. There are optional materials listed for some events, but these are not required. You do not need to print the templates for each class but are welcome to do so if you like.
Please make sure you are using the most updated version of Zoom, and note that the password for all events is (case-sensitive) BoneHag
