How Does Death Look to You?
2023-02-03 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Denver) | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Carl Jung said much about death and dying, in this seminar we will consider his assertion that every person “ought to have a myth about death, for reason shows [one] nothing but the dark pit into which he is descending.” What is a myth about death? Do we acquire it? Create it? Why? How? What does death look like to you?
We will explore our feelings of fear, and/or comfort with death. We will wonder about the death culture we grew up with, and the one we practice now. Metaphors around the concepts of death, dying and the afterlife will be examined and parsed. Who our helpers are or may be as we move from life to death will also be shared and explored. Join Moonbeam Mage as we aspire to realize a myth that will allow a life in alignment with our instincts around death and dying, rather than in opposition to them.

What is Pagan?
2023-02-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
We have grappled with the concept of ‘spirituality.’ In this seminar we take on the concept of ‘P/pagan.’ What does the word mean to you? How do you define or explain being Pagan, or a Pagan? Is Pagan only one of the collection of modern, mostly Western European practices and belief systems included in a list such as: Wiccan, Asatru, Druid, Heathen, and so on? Is it more complex than that? More widespread? Then, what do we, at Ardantane mean when we use it in naming a school or a class?
Join Amber K as we delve into the concept of Pagan, its root meaning, its usage and finally, its coupling with our understanding of spirituality.

Dwellings: Humans at Home
2023-03-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Home. It’s a powerful word. In the uncounted generations before history was recorded, and during the long history of our human species, what have we found or created as our homes… our havens… our sanctuaries, our redoubts, or centers of family life?
Let’s explore our special places, from trees to caves to beehive huts, to palaces and modern solar houses and future habitats on other worlds. What are the core essentials that define a home, and how can we make our individual homes safe, beautiful, and functional? How also can we reflect our spiritual beliefs and sacred connections with nature in our homes?
What are some barriers to such magical transformations, and tools we can use to re-create our dwellings?

Throughout our exploration and inquiries, we will develop an understanding and the ability to discuss and apply such concepts of esoteric thought as ritual, prayer, theurgy, religion, thaumaturgy, alchemy, religious expression – concepts that can inform and shape our own spiritual knowledge and practices.

Witchcraft of the Discworld
2023-03-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States

Join Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat Garlick, Tiffany Aching, and their proxy Tara Kiene for this class that is destined to be equal parts silly and instructive. Beneath the parody, there’s a lot to learn from the Discworld about witchcraft on the Roundworld (aka earth).

Demeter
2023-04-07 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
If you’ve been active in the Craft for more than 15 minutes, you are familiar with the myth of Demeter and Prosephone. Their story is often used as the basis for equinox rituals at Ostara and Mabon. But this ancient goddess has many other faces and indeed, Persephone was not her only child. She was one of the twelve Olympians, elder sister to Hades, Zeus and Poseidon, and is believed to have played a key role in the Eleusinian Mysteries, one of the best kept secrets of antiquity.
Rowan first met Demeter on the pages of Edith Hamilton’s classic Mythology as a teen. She has long felt a deep connection with the ancient Goddess of the harvest, agriculture, health and birth. Overprotective mother is far from her only role. She has many facets. Come explore them.
Rowan 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.

Living the Wheel of the Year
2023-05-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
The Pagan spiritual year is based upon our agrarian ancestor’s observations of the cycles of the sun and earth. We celebrate the landmarks of those cycles with our Sabbat celebrations. This Fireside Seminar will review what the major stations of the wheel are, not for celebration purposes, but rather to find how we can integrate the lessons and energies of the cycle into our lives.
Polaris is a third degree Wiccan Priestess in the Ladywoods Tradition and a Magister in the Order of Paladins. She has been drawn to the natural cycles of the world from a young age and a practicing Pagan since the early 1990s. As a business consultant in the mundane world, she integrates the natural cyclical energies into her work with clients, helping them utilize the prevailing energies and work with those flows rather than struggling against them.

Is Your Magickal Glass Half Empty or Half Full? Part I
2023-05-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
In the second of the continuing 2023 Moon Series presented by Colorado Witches, Lydia Smith and D Garret will explore the magickal workings best done at a quarter moon. Witches often do magicK on the new and full moons, but the quarter moon provides powerful Moon energy also. The Quarter Moon shows only half Her face – is the magickal glass half empty or full? D and Lydia will help us to learn how we can use this time of balance with Moon energy to assist and empower us. As a bonus, in the Autumn, Lydia and D will do another unique presentation on the corresponding waxing quarter moon, giving us true balance for this 2023 Moon Series.
Lydia Smith has a BA in Religion. She has been the high priestess of the Sisters of the Turquoise Moon Coven for 25 years. She is a licensed facilitator of the World Groove Movement.
