Protection Magic with Suzanne & Urania
Wednesdays, Jan 8 to Jan 29, 2025
5:30pm - 8:00pm Pacific
Location: Zoom
In fairytales one draws a circle of chalk or salt for protection [from the devil]. It might be a way to scare some people off. In the fairytales the devil cannot step into the circle. All the better if the drawer is pure of heart.
There are lots of little tricks to protect; setting a circle around yourself, spit locking your car, burying a Witch’s bottle at your driveway, cleansing with black salt, charging any item you wear, etc. In this class we will explore ways we can protect and further develop our will in doing so. We will work with physical boundaries, stones and charms, herbs, salt and water, amulets, sigils, and symbols.
We will explore how to cleanse and protect our bodies and physical spaces such as the home, workplace and magical spaces. We will learn how to use protection spells for travel, legal battles, to block stalkers and also how to use protection spells for larger workings in the world.
Most importantly, we will do the deep inner work to develop the will needed to craft strong and necessary protection magic for our lives and these times. We look forward to dropping into the ancient wisdoms with you.
Elements of Magic or equivalent required.
Cost: $100-$400

Starting January 27: Devotion Pentacle with Riyana and Irisanya - ONLINE
“Attention is the beginning of devotion.” ― Mary Oliver
This is an experimental and immersive class focused on connecting to the deep self, sometimes known as the star self, the sacred dove, the god hirself, and by many other names— through the Pentacle of Devotion, inspired by a tool developed by Valerie Walker, aka VeeDub. Respectfully, we will explore and play with this tool by moving through the pentacle points:
*Devotion -- Truth -- Radiance -- Grace -- Blessing*
But what does it mean, to practice devotion? Devotion to who, what, and how? In this class, we will move inward and outward with our practices, working with the ways that devotion to self opens us to more powerful ways of working magic in the world, and how devotion to mystery, diety, and nature bring us into deeper intimacy and in love with ourselves.
It’s a practice of returning home to ourselves, finding ways to be our own blessings, and refill our cups to be able to offer more to the world.
This is not bubble baths or buying something to make things feel better. Returning to one's self is an act of courage and commitment. It's an act of devotion to what is true and real and vital to our lifeforce.
Maybe instead of self-care, we can shift to self-devotion. If we can see ourselves as divine, can we treat ourselves as such? What magic will we make in the world, what creative works, what activism, can emerge from this place?
This class will include trance work, writing, poetry, spells, movement, and deep silence in an intimate container.
This work is experiential and immersive, grounded in magick.
We hope to offer space to renew, reconnect, and reflect on what brings us back to life.

Starting January 28: Venus Retrograde-Journey with Inanna with Andi Renee & Urania
Join us on Zoom as we journey with the Planet of Love, Beauty and Value - Venus, aka the Evening Star, as she descends into the Underworld and is reborn as the Morning Star. About every 18 months Venus goes retrograde, this time in the sign of Aries with an invitation for us to discern which fires we want to keep feeding.
We will use trance, ritual, and our birth charts as a map as we work with the story of Inanna and her descent into the Underworld to explore the depths of this retrograde in our own lives. This class aims to hold space for grief and awe as we stand renewed in our values and witness our own rebirth.
Schedule
The class meets 5 times at 5:30-7:30pm PST:
January 28th (retrograde shadow begins)
March 1st (Venus stations retrograde)
March 22nd (Venus and Sun conjoin, the halfway point)
April 12th (Venus stations direct)
May 15th (retrograde shadow ends!)
Classes will be recorded and sent out afterwards.
Prerequisites: Open to all levels of astrological experience, some familiarity with your chart will be useful. Familiarity with Reclaiming style ritual or personal magical practice that includes going into and out of trance states.
Cost: $500-$180
Registration: please email Andi [email protected] and send $75 deposit to secure a spot. Venmo @Anders-renee or Paypal [email protected]

YOUR FACILITATORS
Irisanya Moon (she/they) is an author of 8+ books, Witch, priestess, international teacher, and initiate in the Reclaiming tradition. A devotee of Aphrodite, Hecate, the Norns, and Iris, she has been practicing magick for 20+ years. They are passionate about the idea that life is and humans are love spells, ever experiencing a dance of desire and connection, moving in and out of the heart, always returning to love. Her teaching/facilitation style is immersive, gracious, safe, and welcoming.
AManita, often called AM (she/they)
I live on the unceeded land of the Southern Pomo and Coast Miwok, so-called Graton, CA.I went to my first Reclaiming style ritual in 2000. In this community and practice I found a spiritual home and family. This was especially healing for me as someone who was raised Mormon with fundamentalist leanings. I was initiated in 2013 and am a devotee of Brigid. My work in life is to heal intergenerational trauma on behalf of the ancestors and the descendants. The shadow work of the Iron Pentacle is precious to my fierce heart. My work in the world has been as a doula, midwife and now as a Public Health Nurse. I serve vulnerable populations of families and strive to create more equality in our communities. I midwife families and help them be the buffer between the trauma of their childhoods and the lives of their young children. To me, this is the meaning of life. My magical practice prioritizes integrity. I have found the Godds in children, gardens, the hearth, and altar tending. One of my favorite practices is laying on the ground of the forest where I let the mycelial networks in the soil regulate my nervous system. I have a wife and two wonderful adult bonus daughters who have given me home and shown me countless blessings.
