AND THEN…markets are done for me for the year as I am going in for surgery on December 3rd and will disappear while my knee replacement heals until March. But before I go….CLASSES and VEILWALKING!

CLASSES and GATHERINGS:

SINGING TO THE BONES Bonecasting Class on October 24 at The Simple Life in Frederick, MD! Come and learn bone-casting with us! All the details and tickets are here: https://www.tavabaird.com/event-details/singing-to-the-bones-an-introduction-to-casting-bones-stones-shells-and-charms-9

LILITHIAN MAGICK LEVEL 2: Grimoire of the Magdalene on October 24 at The Simple Life in Frederick, MD. Samael lists Mary Magdalene among the great Dae teachers. In this class we explore The Myrrhbearer's legacy and the politics that corrupted it. Mary Magdalene left no known writings. As we honor her wisdom and work in this class, we also ask ourselves: what would a book of her words have looked like? And as we explore our own divinity, what would our own holy book look like?

In answer to these questions, students in this class will upcycle books into personal grimoires that reflect their own holy path. All materials, from glues to ribbons to papers and Lilithian inserts will be provided. Students will leave with a grimoire that can travel with them and expand as they explore their unique spiritual path, no matter what their faith or personal philosophy. Join us for an afternoon of reclamation and celebration in the name of the Magdalene...and in your own name as well! PLEASE BRING A PAIR OF SCISSORS WITH YOU TO CLASS. Thank you! Tickets are here: https://www.tavabaird.com/event-details/lilithian-magick-level-2-the-grimoire-of-the-magdalene

LILITHIAN MAGICK LEVEL 1: The House of Spirits on October 25th in Clear Brook, VA : This is the second class in the Lilith and The Lost City series and focuses on working with spirits, residual energies, and combating Unethical Daemonic Practitioners. Topics also include using reclaimed dolls to speak with the unembodied and Spirit Dice. A must-have class for those interested in the paranormal and ethical necromancy! And we'll be doing it just before Samhain inside the haunted Inn! Whether you wish to speak with ancestors or are interested in alternate methods of reaching out to the unseen in haunted spaces, The Spirit House has something for you!

AND THEN…THE BIG ONE:

VEILWALKING on HALLOWEEN NIGHT at Green Hill Cemetery in Martinsburg, West VA

IT'S BACK! Gather around the fireplace inside the mausoleum at Green Hill Cemetery once again for an unforgettable Halloween night with Lilith and Samael! Class will be led by veteran Witchcraft mentor Tava Baird, who will guide you through a variety of experiences to help you celebrate and connect with your ancestors. Join us for an evening of meditation, conversation, divination, and ancestor work before heading out to speak with the Dead in the Victorian cemetery under the moon! Space is limited and your class fee covers all materials and a donation to Green Hill Cemetery. We have an interesting twist this year…we’ll be inviting Lilith’s energy to our gathering!

I’ll be gone teaching The Angel Path at Mystic Fire in mid-November, but then am squeezing in ONE more Lilith class before I go under the knife:

LILIITHIAN MAGICK LEVEL ONE: The Four Mirrors on November 21st at the Simple Life in Frederick, MD

Your Lilithian journey starts here! This is the first class in the Lilith and The Lost City series, and covers Lilithian philosophy. We'll also be doing The Four Mirrors ritual with a Lost City poppet to receive a personalized communication from Samael. The Philosophy part of the class will run 11-1 and then there will be time for you to go and get lunch if you wish to walk The Four Mirrors Ritual in a timeslot between 1:30 and 3:30.
