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.

Together Lance and Fio have been initiated into 6 different Witchcraft traditions including Anderson Feri, Reclaiming, Wildwood, and Gardnerian Craft. They are Siblings in the Art in more ways than one and both also are supported and inspired by Yogic and Hindu/Tantric-based traditions and lineages.
Fio has written and published under the name Gede Parma and is a Balinese-Australian witch and mystic. They have been initiated into the mysteries of four Witchcraft Traditions and grew up with magic, ritual, and the spirits.
Lance is a Healing Arts practitioner and Kripalu Yoga teacher living in Portland, OR. He's the High Priest of a Gardnerian coven, and an initiate of the Feri, Wildwood, and Kingstone traditions. His craft is rooted in relationship and deeply entwined with contemplative practice.
