SPECIAL GUEST PRESENTER: OBERON ZELL
Oberon will be presenting his work on "Esoteric Education: Restoring the Wonder," which promises to be a fantastic experience
Once upon a time, education was imbued with a mystique of learning arcane lore and forbidden knowledge. The earliest schools were schools of Wizardry—such as Plato's Academy in Athens, and the Pythagorean Mystery School. Today there are many correspondence courses and online schools of Witchcraft, Magick, and Wizardry—such as the Church and School of Wicca, Witch School, the Grey School of Wizardry, Real Magick School, and Cherry Hill Academy. What do such schools have to offer that cannot be found in the public education system? And is it really possible to learn magick online? What are the differences between Witches, Magicians, and Wizards—and what kind of training do they each require? Learn about the Grey School's system of color associated with each of the Wizard's paths. Where did these come from and how are they taught? What color of Wizardry are you most attracted to, and how can you go about learning it?.
JEFF MCBRIDE: Jeff will be presenting "Real World Alchemy". Dive into the practical applications of the philosopher' s Art. Learn how to transform the lead into gold in all areas of your life!
ABIGAIL MCBRIDE: Abigail will be presenting "Deepening into Mysterium: The Experience of Exploring our Awareness" The ancient sages encouraged us to "Know Thyself." By becoming fully present in our bodies, playing together, and by seeing with new eyes, we will eye-dentify and dialogue with metaphors through imagination, story-telling and lively discussion.
...and more special guests, to be announced!!
