The sleeping beauty has been freed from her mail-coat and she repaid the act with great memory-drink and wisdom.

Thank you for a great discussion last night during our Preserving the Fire Reading Circle!

And as always a huge thank you to our wonderful host

If you are interested in the Cabot Tradition, or the Science and the Art of Witchcraft, then seriously consider this opportunity.

Registration for Laurie Cabot’s Witchcraft 1 & 2 courses is now open!

Witchcraft 1: Monday, May 18 - Thursday, May 21, 2026
7pm - 9:30pm

Witchcraft I: Foundations of the Cabot Tradition
This immersive four-night course introduces students to the core teachings of the Cabot Tradition, founded by Laurie Cabot and carried forward through generations of practice. With Laurie serving as co-teacher and Paul Messerle serving as lead instructor, Reverend, and High Priest in the Cabot Tradition, Witchcraft I focuses on developing your natural psychic abilities through extensive hands-on practice. Students learn how majick works by exploring Alpha brainwaves, aura awareness, visualization, and healing techniques - building the essential skills that support intuitive growth and spiritual awareness.
This class is highly experiential, with guided exercises throughout to help you strengthen accuracy, confidence, and perception. There is a gentle psychic assessment at the end of the course, but the emphasis is always on learning and practice rather than testing. While spell work and manifestation are introduced conceptually, Witchcraft I is primarily about psychic development - providing the tools and inner awareness needed for the deeper manifestation, spellcraft, and energetic work explored in Witchcraft II. The goal is practical, real-world application: helping you connect with your abilities and begin bringing meaningful, tangible majick into everyday life.
At this time, classes are available online only.
 
Please Note:
Registration will only be online through our website; no in-person/or over-the-phone registration.

Our next Reading Circle is on February 19th!

Join us on our journey through Edward Petit’s translation of the Poetic Edda.

No prior reading necessary! Just bring the text, grab a libation, and sit in circle with us as we explore the sagas of the past while surrounded by stories of the present.

Check out all the info in the event link found in the first comment. A link to an Open Source copy of Petit’s translation that we are working with is in the event discussion tab.

Walking through before we started last night’s Preserving the Fire Reading Circle when this statue was just another reminder of why it is the perfect home for us.

Last night’s fire was an intimate gathering around couches as we explored themes of greed, wisdom, courage, cross-cultural threads, and even new ways to look at relation with the world around us.

We kindle the flames of the past once again on February 19th! Hope to see you there! 🔥

And again, another huge thank you to Hamilton Prop House for being such an amazing host for our gatherings. 🙏 🍻 If you have a chance be sure to check out the amazing atmosphere for your own gatherings and events!
