Wading into the Flows of Fall
2024-08-02 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Denver) | Online, NM, 87025, United States
Following a spiritual path based upon nature involves living with the seasons. Each has its own energy flows, and when we pay attention to them, we can work with the prevailing energy rather than against it. This is the third in a series of four seasonal energy Fireside Chats and will focus on the energies of harvest and the element of water.
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.

Pagans and Food
2024-08-09 19:00 - 21:00
This is an opportunity to share the aspects of your spiritual path that influence what you eat. We will discuss what works for you, and why you make those choices. (Note that the presenter does not believe that one particular diet is right for everyone.)
We’ll discover how our ancient ancestors ate, and explore some highlights of differing food customs around the world; also how food choices may affect the environment and climate change.
Your presenter is Azrael Arynn K, Dean of the Ardantane School of Sacred Living, who has been studying food and refining her personal choices for many decades.

Thirteen Witch Trials
2024-08-30 19:00 - 21:00
September 30, 2024
Rowan has been doing some research for next spring’s class, The History of Witchcraft and has come across a very interesting book, Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials, by Marion Gibson, Rose Akroyd et al.
From the Amazon review:
“Exploring how witchcraft was feared, then decriminalized, and then reimagined as gendered persecution, Witchcraft takes on the intersections between gender and power, indigenous spirituality and colonial rule, political conspiracy and individual resistance.
Offering a striking, dramatic journey unspooling over centuries and across continents, Witchcraft is a “well-rounded insight into some of the strangest and cruelest moments in history” (Buzz Magazine), giving voice to those who have been silenced by history.”
Come join Rowan for an interesting discussion of several of the lesser known witch trials in Europe and the Americas, and new insights into some of the famous ones.
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.
