How to Heal with the Gods and Goddesses
2026-02-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
We all cope with “the ills that flesh is heir to,” attending to our illnesses, injuries, and “owies” with modern medicine and ancient healing techniques. Yet how well do we enlist allies from the world of Spirit for this? Based on their book Healing with the Gods and Goddesses: Divine Allies on Your Journey to Health, Amber and Azrael will explore which deities are known as healers, and how we can work with them to get better. And better, and better.
Amber K and Azrael Arynn K are priestesses of the Wiccan faith, as well as authors and teachers. They have more than 75 years of combined experience as clergy. They are fascinated by the technology of the sacred—how magick works—and how to share this in ritual design and through their teaching.
Amber was initiated at the Temple of the Pagan Way in Chicago in 1978, and is co-founder of the Ladywood Tradition of Wicca. She served three terms as National First Officer of Covenant of the Goddess, the largest federation of Witches’ covens and solitary Witches.

The Art of Resurrection - Death and Rebirth throughout the Ancient World.
2026-03-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Did you know that Living Resurrection, as a spiritual practice and act of transformation and transcendence, existed thousands of years before being enacted in Christian theology? In the ancient world, untold thousands of initiates willingly undertook an organized communal transformation process (an initiation), after which they would report no fear of death because they secured their place in the fortunate land of the afterlife. This experience was open to all social ranks from slave to Emperor, male and female, and not limited to specific racial or ethnic groups. It consisted of a ritual death and rebirth enactment which included a journey through the Underworld/Otherworld, traversing all its trials and tribulations, and being reborn anew. Come explore the Art of Resurrection from the Egyptians to the Greeks, from the Celts to the Christians, and beyond – and what it can offer to modern mystics.

Artificial Intelligence and Paganism
2026-04-17 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.

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

Survey of Pagan Spirituality: Course 100
2026-05-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
THIS COURSE RUNS FOR 4 WEEKS, TUESDAYS IN MAY STARTING MAY 5TH.
Have you ever wondered what spirituality is? How it is defined? What makes you a spiritual person? And, more specifically, what is Pagan Spirituality? Labels help define our state of Being to the world, but actually show nothing about who we really are. The objective here is learning to let our LIGHT shine without the need of labels.
By developing a vocabulary, continuity is established.
Class 101, Spirituality: In this first class we will walk thru the world of what being spiritual means, and, most importantly, how spirituality is relevant in your life.
102 will survey how beliefs and practices around the world and through time have influenced us not only in our spiritual lives, but also shaped the larger culture in which we participate.
103 (Survey of surviving Pagan traditions, NeoPagan, and related spiritualities?) and 104 (probably Cosmologies: How the Universe works, and our place in it) are still in flux, and will be announced in the March Herald.
The course fee is $80 for Ardantane Members, and $100 for non-members. Register below by clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button. Beaver Bucks are welcome! Please contact us at info@ardantane.org if you would like to use Beaver Bucks.

Identifying Poisonous Plants: How to Avoid Poisoning Yourself or Others
2026-05-08 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
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?
Ember 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.
While 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.
Ember 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.

Back by popular demand! Join the murder of Crow Women in this fun evening of pagan chant. We’ll teach a few chants and all sing “together” in a circle of song.

Transforming lead into gold? The ancient arts of alchemy are so much more than that: they help us transform our spiritual “lead” into the “gold” of our higher selves, to become the Solar Child, the Sacred Marriage within, the Philosopher’s Stone, the Crowned One, the Soma Heliakon, the Phoenix! Join us for this four-week adventure to explore the history, language, and symbolism of alchemy, the paths of personal purification and refinement, the tools to create your own Alchemist’s Laboratory, and the practices to incorporate alchemy into your daily life. Bonus: a visual tour of the Alchemy Museum in Slovenia.

Who Are You? Archetypes with Amber K
2026-06-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Carl Jung said that “Your vision will become clear when you can look into your own heart… who looks inside, awakes.”
One way of seeing yourself involves understanding archetypes, Jung’s concept of universal character types rooted in the collective unconscious. These include the Hero, the Shadow, the Mentor or Wise Guide, the Trickster, and many others. Let’s find out which of the archetypes best describe you, and which ones you might aspire to become. We will combine myth, psychology, meditation, and humor to explore ourselves and perhaps move forward in our spiritual growth and understanding.
Amber is a Wiccan priestess with 47 years’ experience, the author or co-author of several books on the Craft, and the Executive Director of Ardantane.

This class is free to supporting members of Ardantane. Others must register below by clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button. The fee is $10.
