SUMMARY:Once Upon a Grimoire: The Way Back In
DESCRIPTION:Once Upon a Grimoire: The Way Back In is a guided journey into personal reconnection and spiritual recentering through the lens of pagan practice and mythic storytelling. In this class\, participants will explore their own “grimoire” — the inner book of wisdom\, memory\, and magic that holds their personal truths. Through reflective journaling\, gentle ritual\, and shared discussion\, we’ll trace the paths that have led us away from and back toward our center\, weaving ancient symbolism with modern spiritual insight. This immersive session invites you to rediscover your sacred story\, reclaim your intuitive voice\, and reawaken the spark of magic that lives within your everyday life. \nJude Harrison\, MD’s eclectic spiritual path has grown through a wide variety of experiences from childhood to the present laced throughout with singing. He began creating and participating in rituals as a young child with his mom and friends\, continuing with his former coven\, his local community\, the southwest pagan community\, and the Order of Paladins as well as vision quests\, initiations\, and over a thousand hours of trainings in holistic and mind body medicine. And the patient guidance of Nature. \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\, December 11th.

SUMMARY:Death rites - The Healing Well and the Golden Portal
DESCRIPTION:Mandatory Prerequisite – attendance of the Healing Well guided journey in the previous month of October. In this workshop Wellyssa will share with you her method of healing and guiding souls on to the otherworld. This is deep work for advanced practitioners who are interested in assisting in the important task of guiding souls onward. We will be working with Anubis and the Morrigan in her form as Babd. “Washer at the Ford.” These two deities came forward as guides to work with Wellyssa as she began her own journey working with the dead. We will journey to our well\, call Anubis and Babd and then open the golden portal. (You will be opening your own portal\, in your own space. You will need a protective circle\, and strong energetic skills.) Wellyssa will guide us through the process of calling forth the spirits and working with Anubis and Babd to heal their souls prior to moving them on to the otherworld. This is deep\, and energetically demanding work. NOTE: Please have your space set up for ritual\, candles and offerings for Anubis and Babd\, and a glass of water for yourself. \nWellyssa Spellsong I am an energy healer\, psychic intuitive\, Wiccan High Priestess and teacher. I provide energy healing\, chakra and aura clearing\, emotional healing/clearing\, past life regression\, soul retrieval\, and akashic records journeying. I also read the bones and oracle cards and do house clearings. During healing work\, I look into the body and both see and feel where there is pain\, fatigue\, stuck energy\, or emotional trauma which has rooted itself within the body and needs to be released. I provide healing using various modalities such as energy\, sound vibration and crystals. For PLR\, Soul Retrieval and akashic records works I work with you in a state of trance to seek answers to your questions. I can also design powerful rituals\, mantras or affirmations to help you achieve your goals and desires. I enjoy teaching the client how to do their own work and healing. My path is deeply sacred. I have claimed this work as my path and my purpose. May I be of service to you. \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\, November 13th.

SUMMARY:The Healing Well
DESCRIPTION:Everyone has a healing well\, if you know where to look for it. Join Wellyssa Spellsong on a shamanic style guided journey to find your own personal healing well. Where is it? What does it look like? Is it in good repair or does it need some cleaning up and restoration? Is your well full or empty? We’ll journey to our wells and spend some time getting familiar with them\, and working on filling and purifying the waters within. Soon you can replenish your own energy from the healing waters of your well. NOTE: This will be a guided meditation\, crossing astral boundaries. You will need to cast a circle and be in a comfortable\, undisturbed space. Please have your space prepared ahead of time\, and have paper and pen handy. \nWellyssa Spellsong I am an energy healer\, psychic intuitive\, Wiccan High Priestess and teacher. I provide energy healing\, chakra and aura clearing\, emotional healing/clearing\, past life regression\, soul retrieval\, and akashic records journeying.

During healing work\, I look into the body and both see and feel where there is pain\, fatigue\, stuck energy\, or emotional trauma which has rooted itself within the body and needs to be released. I provide healing using various modalities such as energy\, sound vibration and crystals. For PLR\, Soul Retrieval and akashic records works I work with you in a state of trance to seek answers to your questions. I can also design powerful rituals\, mantras or affirmations to help you achieve your goals and desires. I enjoy teaching the client how to do their own work and healing. My path is deeply sacred. I have claimed this work as my path and my purpose. May I be of service to you. \n\nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane.  Others must register below.

SUMMARY:Marija Gimbutas
DESCRIPTION:The archaeologist Marija Gimbutas was one of very few to synthesize and attempt to draw conclusions about ancient European Goddess figurines and the possibility of a Goddess culture. Join Larissa Gibbs for an introduction to Dr. Gimbutas’ explanations of these fascinating artifacts. We will discuss the material culture and the implications\, if any\, for modern neo-paganism. \nLarissa Gibbs has been a practicing neo-pagan since she was a teenager. She did a self dedication at the age of 16 and has never looked back. Over the years\, Larissa has practiced as a solitary pagan\, as well as worked with two covens\, and with her family coven. She was the coordinator for the children’s realm of the Las Cruces Pagan Pride Day event for maybe five years. In 2011\, she became one of the founding members of Desert Spirit CUUPS at the Las Cruces New Mexico Unitarian Universalist Church where she continues to serve as ritual coordinator. She is also a longstanding member and contributor to the Las Cruces-based\, women’s spirituality group\, Moonsisters. Larissa has a BS in biology\, worked as a research biologist for 10 years and now teaches high school biology. She finds that one of the most profound truths in biology is the universal genetic code of life. Scientifically we know that all life is genetically related\, spiritually we can feel at one with all life on Earth. Larissa also looks to history and archaeology to understand past and present human belief systems. Marija Gimbutas’ work with neolithic and Mesolithic imagery and megalithic mounds is very informative for Larissa as well. Larissa feels that science informs our world view and paganism gives us a way to contextualize our place in the world. \n\nThis class is free to supporting members of Ardantane.  Others must register below.
