SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence and Paganism
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be basically two parts. First\, understanding what generative AI is and how it works. This can be a complicated process of using labeled data to train the generative AI bot.\n\nSecond\, what is the impact of generative AI on our society and Paganism\, in particular. There will be major impacts\, but these are not yet known.\n\nPagans range from Technopagans\, who love all new technologies\, to Pastoral Pagans\, who long to return to a simple less technical rural life style.\n\nMost of us are in between these two extremes. We drive cars and use the web\, but do not worship technology.\n\n\nMerlyn is retired\, widowed and living in Albuquerque. He is a third degree initiate in OLW and Ladywood Tradition. Meryl retired from LANL where he worked for 9 years and as a contractor for 12 years. He has a Ph.D Biology and enjoys e-biking\, reading ebooks and web surfing.\n\nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane. Others must register below. Be sure to add the number of tickets you want before clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button. The fee is $10. \nRegistration closes at 5PM Mountain Time on Thursday\, April 4th.

SUMMARY:The Fiery Energy of Summer

SUMMARY:Giving and Receiving\, the Maternal Economy and Overcoming a Capitalism Centric Society: Toward the Best Outcome for All
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever pondered the primacy of “giving-receiving?” Do you know of the “hidden maternal gift economy?” Would you be interested in a discussion which connects these concepts to “the free gifts of nature?” These will be the core concepts framing our exploration in “The Nature of Giving.” Specifically\, we will explore a certain\, Mother – based perspective on giving and receiving. \nMoonbeam Mage invites you to join this thought provoking discussion. There is every possibility that it will stir your Pagan Self! In large part based on the research and writings of Genevieve Vaughan\, this seminar will introduce us to a perspective on the nature of giving\, our nature as human beings and the nature of an economy we have grown to accept. \nMoonbeam Mage caught a glimpse of the path that might be some twenty-five years ago. Fifteen years ago she heard herself asserting that she was on that path\, and has solidly placed one foot after the other upon it since. In 2010 she found Ardantane and began her pursuit of all that formal training in the Craft could offer. In 2014\, she received the Ardantane Level Three\, Master of Magick and Witchcraft Certificate. She is also a third degree initiate of the Ladywood tradition of the Craft. \nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane. Others must register below. Be sure to add the number of tickets you want before clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button. The fee is $10. \nRegistration closes at 5PM Mountain Time on Thursday\, May 9th.

SUMMARY:Thirteen Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:September 30\, 2024 \nRowan has been doing some research for next spring’s class\, The History of Witchcraft and has come across a very interesting book\, Witchcraft: A  History in Thirteen Trials\, by Marion Gibson\, Rose Akroyd et al. \nFrom the Amazon review: \n“Exploring how witchcraft was feared\, then decriminalized\, and then reimagined as gendered persecution\, Witchcraft takes on the intersections between gender and power\, indigenous spirituality and colonial rule\, political conspiracy and individual resistance. \nOffering a striking\, dramatic journey unspooling over centuries and across continents\, Witchcraft is a “well-rounded insight into some of the strangest and cruelest moments in history” (Buzz Magazine)\, giving voice to those who have been silenced by history.” \nCome join Rowan for an interesting discussion of several of the lesser known witch trials in Europe and the Americas\, and new insights into some of the famous ones. \nRowan has been active in the pagan community of northern New Mexico for over 35 years. She is a third degree initiate of the Ladywoods tradition and currently serves as the Dean of the School of Magick and Witchcraft at Ardantane. In her mundane life\, she holds a BS in education from UT El Paso\, and an MBA from UNM. She has taught at festivals in New Mexico and Colorado and nationally\, but enjoys teaching at Ardantane the most. \nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane.

SUMMARY:The Bardic Way: Sharing the Stories\, Shaping the World
DESCRIPTION:What comes to mind when you think of the Bardic Tradition? Is it a soulful-looking medieval youth strumming thoughtfully on a lute? Maybe it’s William Shakespeare\, the “Bard of Stratford-on-Avon” that you imagine. Or it might be a mighty warrior-bard like the fictional Gurney Halleck from “Dune”\, or the very non-fictional Hindi Charan bards of Rajasthani\, composing songs of brave deeds while riding fearlessly into battle and witnessing them first-hand. \nThe Bard manifests in many forms\, across many world cultures and eras. In this seminar we will briefly cast an academic gaze over the broad scope of Bardic history and lore in diverse civilizations. We will then begin to explore the manifestation of the Bardic tradition in our Pagan and Wiccan communities\, our circles and rituals\, and our festivals of the seasons. And through our exploration\, we will settle on the common thread\, the central element of the Way of the Bard – the stories. \nCome prepared for a highly interactive examination of the archetype of the Bard and its aspects\, to look deeply into the power that flows through our personal and collective stories\, and to consider how that power may be raised and directed to healing our communities and shaping a brighter future and a more magickal world! \nDavid Troxel (he\, him) has been a practicing Wiccan for 30 years\, a Pagan in spirit for twice that\, and is a lifelong hand drummer and singer of the stories. He is an initiate in the West Coast Eclectic tradition through the Circle of the Winter Moon and has led numerous ritual circles in the Four Corners community. David also served on the Ardantane board of directors in the early days\, and recalls tramping happily around the local deserts and mountainsides with the founders\, looking for a home for this wonderful institution! \nDavid has since taken a Master’s degree in Conflict Resolution and traded the beautiful New Mexico desert for the rugged coastline and redwood forests of northern California\, where he practices family mediation in the state Superior Court for Humboldt County. \n\nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane.  Others must register below. Be sure to add the number of tickets you want before clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button. The fee is $10. \n\n\nRegistration closes at 5PM Mountain Time on Thursday\, September 26th.
