Welcome to the intriguing realm of Empty Hands Magick, where the power of manifestation lies within the depths of your being, unaided by conventional tools or instruments. In this class, we embark on a transformative journey, exploring the ancient wisdom and contemporary applications of magickal practices that rely solely on the innate abilities of the practitioner.

Instead, it delves into the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit, harnessing the raw energy within to shape reality according to one’s will.

Three attributes of the Goddess are love, wisdom, and power. As we seek to emulate Her, each of us must ask whether we have embraced our personal power and are using it in Her service, for the good of the world. But how do we find our power?

How can we avoid the traps of arrogance and hubris and exert our strengths wisely, humbly, collectively, for the good of all? Join Amber and Rowan as we explore this essential and difficult subject.

Giving and Receiving, the Maternal Economy and Overcoming a Capitalism Centric Society: Toward the Best Outcome for All
2024-05-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
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.
Moonbeam 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.
Moonbeam 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.

Artificial Intelligence and Paganism
2024-04-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
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.

Second, 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.

Pagans range from Technopagans, who love all new technologies, to Pastoral Pagans, who long to return to a simple less technical rural life style.

Most of us are in between these two extremes. We drive cars and use the web, but do not worship technology.

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.

Long before Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, they are the archetype of the Holy Family.

Ostara Spring Equinox Online Ritual
2024-03-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Blessings of the Vernal Equinox!
Join us in Celebration!
The Vernal Equinox, Spring Equinox or Ostara as it is more frequently called in modern times, is one of the Sabbats on the Pagan Wheel of the Year as we celebrate it in these times. Its name – Equinox – enlightens us immediately as to the wisdom we may find in its observance. Equinox, equal, implying balance. In our ritual celebration, we will honor that traditional essence. As well, the descriptor, vernal explains: this is the point on the Wheel where birth and beginnings of all kinds are evident. Creation, creativity, newness, these we expect and seek in the Spring. Our ritual will open us to these urges.
The Earth Mother is the core of the Wheel, the spindle upon which it turns. Our ritual will call upon Her and Her sky companion, Venus. Venus in Her reign as planetary goddess of love and Greco/Roman, Venus/Aphrodite goddess of love. We will discover the boon She offers at the time of these new beginnings and how we might invite Her support in our endeavors.
Balance, beginnings, living and loving!
We will celebrate Blessings of the Vernal Equinox!
Moonbeam 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.
This 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.
Registration closes at 5PM Mountain Time on Thursday, March 14th.
