Sex & Love. Pride & Law. Self & Wisdom. Power & Liberty. Passion & Knowledge.

These are the points of the Iron and Pearl Pentacles and this course drops us deep into their dreamings and meeting points.

The Iron and Pearl pentacles arise from the Feri and Reclaiming traditions. The points can be found within us and all around us, catalysts inviting us to dive deeply into our humanness, our divinity, remembering our magic and origins in the stars and in the primordial waters, the great ocean.

We carry salt like the seas in our blood, our blood is rich-red because of iron. In a great and mighty starburst we are launched in space and time into existence - and some would say, we are divided for the chance of union.

In these 6 sessions Jane Meredith and Fio Gede Parma will anchor and a facilitate a set of an immersive experience in which we journey with and work-play-invoke/dare deeply with Sex/Love, Pride/Law, Self/Wisdom, Power/Liberty, and Passion/Knowledge.

The Iron and Pearl pentacles are considered to be the same pentacle viewed or experienced from different angles and perspectives. We will journey with them together, as permutations of one another. This is not a core class, and does not substitute for or replicate either of the core classes of Iron and Pearl Pentacles.

We’ll dream deep and dare into the realms of Iron and Pearl - where they evolve from each other, where they dance and make love and spin starlight webs of becoming. We’ll call upon our tools of trance, ritual, deep discussion, embodied learning, we’ll create altars and speak with the land and let the spell dream itself through us, to be revealed in the five pointed creatures that we are.

Fio and Jane Meredith have been dear friends for over a decade. Together they have written 3 books, dreamed up magic, WitchCamps, salons, classes, & workshops both online and in person, and are delighted to continue their adventures together and in community. Iron and Pearl are some of their best-beloveds and they are known - independently and together - for their powerful and invitational teaching, space holding, and holding the gateways open to step into the mythical and magical.

Their websites are: www.fiogedeparma.com and www.janemeredith.com. The books they have co-written are: 'Magic of the Iron Pentacle', 'Elements of Magic', and the forthcoming 'Magic of the Pearl Pentacle'. Fio’s most recent book is 'The Witch Belongs to the World' and Jane’s is 'Falling through the Tree of Life'.

Climb the Ladder of the Planets and explore the music of the Spheres.

The ancients tell us that we are the children of earth and starry heavens, and we can dance with the planets themselves. In this course, we will plunge into alchemy, metallurgy, and astrology to taste the powerful wisdom of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, and the Sun. We will introduce ourselves to these planetary forces present in everything around us, including our own personalities. From didactic discussion to mystical inner journeys to gentle somatic exploration, we befriend the planets and their healing influences so as better to understand our multiversal reality and change all the worlds.

The planets are accessible and animistic keys for knowing and orientation in our lives. Let us wander with the Wandering Ones.

Fio and Ravyn are dear friends and long-time teachers, they have both taught in many sacred and stolen lands, are initiated in multiple magical and mystical traditions, and respect the pathways the planets may reveal.

The Great and Noble Spirits: Deity, Dedication & Devotion 

Facilitated by: Fio Gede Parma

Date: Sunday the 26th of June 2022

Time: 9.30am to 12.30pm

Location: Shop 6/47-53 Olinda-Monbulk Road. OLINDA VIC 3788

In this 3 hour workshop, we will explore the mysterious landscapes of Gods and Deities. What discerns a Deity or a God/dess from another kind of Spirit? Is it possible for a Mountain, Saint, Faerie, Angel to also be a God? Could a God be a River, an Idea, a Happening, a Lineage?

Through history, culture, experience, trance, and ritual we will each venture into respectful intimacy with our own Great Ones and discover ways to anchor, deepen, and enrich these connections.

In recognition that financial circumstance often correlates to systems of privilege and oppression, two free spaces will be held for folks requiring solidarity and support who are Indigenous, of Colour, Asylum Seeker, Queer, Trans, Single Parents, or Disabled. If you wish to take one of these spaces, simply e-mail admin@elfhame.com.au

Once you have registered you will receive information about what you will need to bring for the work of the intensive and any prior workings/readings you may need to know about.

A 9-session journey beginning at the end of January through until May. We will be meeting every two weeks for the live 2-hour convergences. These will be recorded but we hope you will be able to make most if not all live calls. This course is suitable for those both beginning and experienced in walking the Crooked Road.

In these precarious and deceptive times, many are stirring, deepening, drinking in and beginning to sense and wield Power, the Life-Force. Many yearn to learn the arts of sorcery and spirit-work, knowing instinctively that they require earnest self-reflection, self-responsibility, and a willingness to lean in and partner with other beings, other creatures, other persons in the Work. This journey will focus heavily on building relationships and collaborating with familiar spirits.

During this 9-session course we will explore:
*Histories and Folklore of Witchcraft and Witches,
*Developing devotional spaces, disciplines, and relationships with Spirits
*Opening and working with and through the Crossroads
*Exploring the nature of Deity within the landscape of Spirits,
*Various techniques of spell-craft and working with Fate,
*Feeling into the web of spirit relationships in which we're already implicated, and entering into intimate pacts with familiar spirits,
*Protection and warding, banishing and clearing,
*Blasting and Binding,
*Blessing and Healing,
*Oracular and Divinatory/Omen-based Work,
*The Mythic Life/Soul-Story/Learning with the Daimon

Our pre-requisite is that you have met one or both of us in person (if this is not the case, and you feel strongly called to attend, feel free to reach out to us.) This course is meant to support the practicing or awakening witch along their path, and is not training in any of the Craft traditions in which the teachers are initiated.

The exchange is:
700-450 USD (50 USD discount for second-time takers)
960-615 AUD (70 AUD discount for second-time takers)
Pay where you are able to on the sliding scale.
This includes nine 2-hour facilitated live-sessions, a secret FB group for debriefing, q and a, and discussion, and a 1-hour one-to-one Zoom session with either Fio or Lance at sometime during the course.

For millennia humans of diverse cultures and lands have willingly entered into deep and devotional relationships with Great Spirits and Mighty Mysteries. Some of these people have later been called priests, priestesses, votaries, dedicants, devotees, mystics, initiates.

In this 2 hour class we will explore how modern-day mystics, initiates, spirit-workers, and witches relate intimately with the Gods and Spirits and how we might deepen these dedications and relationships.

11 AM Australian Eastern Daylight Time (10 AM for Brisbane) on October the 24th.

Persephone is an ancient Goddess of many names and forms. She is known as the Queen of the Underworld, the Kore - the Spring Maiden, Mother of the Furies/Erinyes, Mother of Zagreos-Dionysos, Daughter of Demeter and Zeus, and Lover and Beloved of Haides. The story by which She is known to many is often called the "Abduction" of Persephone and is told in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. This deeply impacts how we understand this Mythos and how we understand Her.

In this workshop we will delve through what is known about Her mythos, Her mysteries, Her faces and forms. Through ritual, invocation, and trance we will visit and commune with Her and perhaps even learn about ourselves in the process. Ideally, we will learn of Her. This is a free workshop.

This workshop will be in English and it will be recorded and uploaded onto YouTube as an offering, so if you do not want your face or voice shown or heard please have camera off and be on mute. It will be recorded with Speaker View so largely will only view me and the Q and A at the end can either happen with voiced questions or written questions in the chat box.

Sunday 14th of March

1-2:30 PM Brisbane AEST

The sophisticated beauty of the witch's ways of working are necessarily diverse, elegant, animistic, and potent. As witches and spirit-workers we desire to commune with the Land and the Spirits therein; carve out working spaces of power and privacy; and attract the attention of Powers and Beings who might aid us in our Work.

The Crossroads.
The Compass.
The Circle.

These may be singular workings whole and complete unto themselves or an entire unfolding cosmological spell of anchoring, opening, and becoming.

This workshop is part talk - histories/folklore/customs/experiences/details...
And part experience/immersion - ritual tech/ecstatic working/methodic experience...

You will gain insight into some of the folkloric and cosmological context of certain rites and workings shared in various forms by a variety of branches of the Craft, as well as distinctive features of the Craft Fio practises. As well as this several methods of crafting with space and time will be offered that you may utilise in your own workings if desired.

This is a FREE offering but you are welcome to donate anywhere between 5-35 AUD if you desire.

Fio Aengus Santika/Gede Parma is a traditional witch, hereditary spirit-worker, professional diviner and spell-caster and published author. They are actively involved in several Houses and Traditions of Witchcraft. Fio is a passionate witch-nerd.
