Artemis is best known as the Greek goddess of the wilderness and the moon. Though she's sometimes refered to as a virgin deity, many interpret this to mean that she is self-belonging - a being who represents feminine freedom and boundless agency. She is a guardian of girls and adolescents, a steward of wild spaces, and a skilled huntress who shoots her arrows with precision and intention. In her lunar guise as Apollo's sister (and her Roman incarnation Diana) she's a source of light in darkness who can help us connect to our intuition and the great mysteries. As we consider this collective moment we're currently in - where bodily autonomy is under threat and Mother Nature is being pillaged and plundered - Artemis can help fortify our protective powers so we might better take care of ourselves, our wildlife, and each other.

In this richly illustrated online presentation, world-renowned witchcraft expert Pam Grossman will explore the ways one can work with Artemis to set impactful intentions, strengthen one's sense of self-empowerment, and protect vulnerable beings of all species. Incorporating art, ritual, poetry, and myth, Pam will delve deeply into Artemis's various magical aspects, symbols, and mystic gifts. Students of all levels are welcome, from the curious novice to the advanced occultist, as all will benefit from forging a stronger connection with Artemis's arrow-sharp direction, unapologetic independence, and moonlit magic.

This online workshop will be recorded for later viewing for all registrants for up to 30 days. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the GoFundMe Wildfire Relief Fund.

In preparation for the longest night of the year, join us as we turn our gaze skyward to the ancient lights that have guided travelers, seekers, and dreamers throughout time. The winter solstice marks not just the darkest point of our yearly cycle, but a moment when the stars shine their brightest—offering celestial wisdom to those who pause to look up and listen.

Through guided meditation, ritual practice, and communal intention-setting, we'll explore ways to navigate by starlight, engage with stellar magic, and find direction in times of darkness. Together we'll honor both the profound darkness of this sacred night and the crystalline brilliance of the stars above, discovering how these complementary forces can illuminate our own paths forward. This gathering is an opportunity to align with ancient wisdom, connect with fellow seekers, and kindle our inner light as we turn toward the returning sun.

Hecate, the Greek goddess of witchcraft, is often thought to be a deity of darkness, but one of her many names is "Hekate Phosphoros" or Hecate, Light-bearer / Light-bringer. Using the magic of her torch, Hecate is able to traverse safely in and out of the underworld, and she teaches us how to navigate darkness with steadfast fortitude and hope. She is a splendid companion for shadow-work both on the personal and collective scale. While she can always be called upon as a source of strength, Hecate is a particularly excellent guide for those of us who are standing at a crossroads, or are experiencing times of tumult, fear, and/or grief.

In this richly illustrated online presentation, world-renowned witchcraft expert Pam Grossman will explore the ways one can work with Hecate to strengthen inner power, keep aglow in dark times, and protect oneself and each other. Incorporating art, ritual, poetry, and myth, Pam will delve deeply into Hecate's various magical aspects, symbols, and mystic gifts. Students of all levels are welcome, from the curious novice to the advanced occultist, as all will benefit from forging a stronger connection with Hecate's illuminating energy.

The image of the witch as we know it first appeared in visual culture in the late fifteenth century, and became a popular subject in artwork in the years that followed through today. Artists as varied as Dürer, Fuseli, Goya, and Blake used the archetype of magical – and often malevolent – women to titillate their patrons or reflect their own anxiety about female bodies and societal roles, often resulting in works that were either grotesque or beguilingly glamorous.

But what happens when witches themselves wield the brush? In the mid-nineteenth century, a family tree of female visionary artists began to take root. Deeply entrenched in esoteric studies, and often engaging in their own ritual practices, these women began creating works that used their own metaphysical experiences as inspiration, thus becoming their own muses. In doing so they conjured a "re-visioning" of the witch as a complex carrier of feminine power worthy of celebration.

In this richly illustrated online presentation, world-renowned witchcraft expert Pam Grossman will explore the ways in which the image of the witch has evolved over time, and shine a light in the corners of art history where craft and Craft are one and the same.

As the wheel of the year turns and we begin to listen for the first whispers of spring beneath the ground, we find ourselves at a unique intersection of rest and awakening.

Rainbows have many positive associations from hope to pride, and they have also been considered carriers of potent magic across the globe. Though considered a “minor” deity to the ancient Greeks, Iris, the goddess of rainbows, was important enough to be given a place on the Parthenon. The Norse Bifröst, or rainbow bridge, is said to connect the realms of the gods and humans. And mythic beings from Oshunmare of the Yoruba people to the Aboriginal Rainbow Serpent are believed to be great sources of creativity. On the same token, working with the full spectrum of color magic can help us to become more fully integrated, and to harmonize the gradient energies within ourselves and the world around us.

In this visually-rich online workshop, Pam Grossman will cover various forms of rainbow magic, and introduce us to the sacred art of iridescent witchcraft. She will share several practices of manifestation, healing, and divination which utilize chromatic symbol systems, and show how these sacred arcs can help us revitalize and bend towards beauty. Students will come away with everything they need to begin or deepen their own relationship to a rainbow deity, incorporate the power of self-generated or spontaneous color spectrums, and infuse their lives more fully with the occult gifts of color.

Love magic is one of the most popular forms of witchcraft, yet it is often misunderstood or misused. Its spells and techniques can help generate more romance, higher sexual energy, and a heightened lust for life - however it is most potent when approached with a reverence for the sacred, rather than an intention of possession or manipulation. Divine love is deep, creative, and wildly open-hearted, and working with its magic is an act of occult adoration.

In this visually-rich online workshop, Pam Grossman will cover various forms of love magic from across the globe, and break down the key steps and components for creating or enhancing one's own love magic practice - for the self and others. Students will come away with everything they need to cast a variety of love spells, begin or deepen their devotion to a love deity (or deities), and (com)passionately bewitch their love lives.

Throughout history, the word witch has been used against women and queer individuals who refuse to conform to societal expectations of heteronormative gender norms. How did this appear in visual culture? And how have contemporary practitioners of witchcraft reclaimed and reshaped this imagery?

Communing with our beloved dead is possible at any moment, but this spirited season is when many believe the veil between worlds is thinnest, and contact with the otherworld most clear. Samhain, All Hallows Eve, Día de los Muertos, and Fête Gede are but a few of the holy-days celebrated at this time, and they provide moments of contemplation and connection with those we have lost.

In this visually-rich online workshop, Pam will cover various magical methods of honoring one's ancestors (including biological, chosen, or spiritual), and cover the key components for creating a practice of spirit veneration. Though this class will focus primarily on Samhain traditions, these gestures may be utilized any time throughout the year, whenever one feels called to give thanks, ask for guidance, or simply say hello to those who have crossed over.

Students will come away with everything they need to begin deepening their ancestral connections safely and lovingly - even if they have a complicated relationship with said spirits, or know very little about them. Our familiar spirits can support us, as we can support them!
