SUMMARY:Mary Magdalene and the Seven Powers
DESCRIPTION:In this transformative seminar\, we will explore the profound role of Mary Magdalene as a symbol of the Divine Feminine. Through history\, myth\, and modern interpretations\, we will uncover the hidden wisdom and sacred power that Magdalene embodies—connecting her to the archetypal feminine energy that has been suppressed and forgotten in many spiritual traditions.

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\n\nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane.  Others must register below by clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button.

SUMMARY:Isis and Osiris
DESCRIPTION:The story of Isis and Osiris is an ancient myth about love conquering all\, about jealousy and betrayal\, about civilization and order in opposition to chaos. However\, the central theme in this story is about not only the death and resurrection of a God\, but also about the Divine Feminine who resurrects him\, and the Divine Mother giving birth to Horus\, the Divine Child. Long before Jesus\, Mary\, and Joseph\, they are the archetype of the Holy Family. \nLora Jackson Legare has been a practicing Wiccan for 35 years.

SUMMARY:Identifying Poisonous Plants: How to Avoid Poisoning Yourself or Others
DESCRIPTION:Can you tell the difference between Queen Anne’s Lace and poison hemlock? Should you be concerned if your neighbor’s toddler nibbles on the Lily of the Valley growing in your yard? Just how much nutmeg is a fatal dose? How many apple seeds give you a fatal dose of cyanide? \nEmber will answer these questions\, and others\, while also providing information about which common ornamentals are toxic\, what medicinal plants require caution\, and she includes some antidotes as well as bonus material on other poisons. \nWhile the focus is on identifying poisonous plants so you don’t harm yourself or others\, Ember will also offer a brief introduction to the magickal correspondences found along the poison path. \nEmber has had a special interest in plants and herbal medicine all of her life. It started with her five-year-old self eating dandelions and tasting milkweed. Important reminder: supervise your children! Since then\, she has spent the past 50 years studying medicinal herbs\, making salves and tinctures\, and identifying as many plants as she can. \n\nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane.  Others must register below by clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button. The fee is $10. \n\n\nRegistration closes at 5PM Mountain Time on Thursday\, May 7th. \nGet Tickets
