*limited to 30 participants*
*pre registration suggested*
*please arrive early if possible to comfortably find parking*
Once you get started with runes, what next? This class session will cover basics of divination and use in magic. We will look at casting, drawing, and using spreads in divination and learn how runes "speak" in a reading.
We'll also learn about creating bindrunes (talismans) and how to implement them in your magical practice. In this class you will make a bindrune to take home with you.
John Hijatt is an inclusive Heathen and has studied runes for nearly 20 years. He is host of Gifts of the Wyrd podcast which explores topics of magick, runes, tarot, oracle, and inclusive practices for today. He describes the casual interview style with authors, artists, and creators as “Heathen NPR.” He enjoys teaching, reading runes, and leading ritual at Tree of Life. John believes community to be an essential part of practice and a great place to start is at the Tree of Life Store.
Health
If you are feeling under the weather, or have been exposed to someone who is sick, please stay home and rest up!
Parking
We highly recommend coming down a bit early to comfortably find parking. Ocean Beach is a busy little beach community, but there is ample parking. There is a paid lot by the CVS across Cable St. and lots of free street parking available.
Wheel of the Year
Mabon
August 1st
Mabon, (may-bon), also known an the Autumn Equinox, Harvest Home, or the Witchs' Thanksgiving, marks a time of balance, when night and day are of equal lengths as we continue our journey through the dark half of the year. Now marks the second of the three main harvests, the harvest of fruits and wine.
We celebrate this as a time of thanks-giving and offer gratitude for all of the blessings we have received throughout the year. As offerings we place on our altars the fruits of the season: apples, grapes, and dried grain. In some traditions, a "corn" dolly is made, blessed, and ritually burned to symbolize the passing of the light, and the beginning of the dark half of the year. Look back on that which you have harvested this year, on the seeds planted so long ago that you can now enjoy their bounty. Offer thanks for all you have been given and all you have achieved.
