Hello everyone.

This is a general call of interest for classes in Austin, Texas. There’s a feature to some of the local spaces that I realized I could calendar in advance for classes and events on the weekend. Based on interest, and sign ups, I’m thinking we could start some solid foundations of magick, Witchcraft, and more in the new year.

A sign up is available to you below, but first, a few things.

About Me

I’m a multidisciplinary Artist, Healer, Witch, and Writer. An ordained High Priest and the Aries Lead Minister in the Temple of Witchcraft. I draw on three decades of experience as a recognized healer, teacher, and guide in the energy, occult and Witchcraft circles. My philosophy swirls around creating spaces for others to learn, remember and awaken their power, through methods, traditions, and creative experimentation. I like to believe that people leave feeling closer to their spiritual nature, their inner selves, while maybe gathering a sense of creativity, or purpose. Tools, methods, ritual spaces, visionary meditations and more are essentially driven to help cultivate discipline, dedicate to a direction, and encourage a deeper relationship to the self and the world, that is alive with life.

I’ve taught and fostered good student, peer, and educator relationships since the early 90’s. Facilitated public and private rituals, circles, Wheel of the Year and seasonal celebrations, rights of passage, and acted as a spiritual functionary in many ways including weddings, bedside hospice and pastoral care.

My pride is in what I create, and I create spaces for learning, healing, and experiential experiences into the mysteries. My complete CV, including, art, writing, and appearances, as well as rituals and classes can be found here.

Without opening the books to a mystery school here in ATX, there are a few things we can cover in a class or series of classes that could be fun, and I’m fully able to offer.

What I could Teach

• A in-depth, deep dive into the Path of the Moon (13 classes over a year)
• Similarly a thorough examination of the (modern) Wheel of the Year, where not only look at ritual and the theater of it, but also the mechanics and mythology of why modern Pagans see it the way they do and how this isn’t necessarily an ancient set of rituals from any one culture, but rather a mytho-astrological experience of a cycle of initiation.
• Constructing Spells and Rituals (one or two part classes) for effective magickal work from a modern, Western Esoteric, and personal perspective.

Of course there are miles of path we can tread in learning Reiki, from an informed, disciplined, experiential approach, from Usui Reiki Ryoho, to Karuna HolyFire Reiki, to SKHM Reiki, as approached through the works of Storm Constantine (only).

It’s possible if we get enough of an interest list to offer local Mystery School classes, with approval from the Temple, but let’s see where we are at as the interest grows.

And there is more, we can do salons, gatherings, and get togethers to read books, or just generally rap about topics, and explore them with common rituals and practices to open them up..

We can build community around practices.

You see, there are a lot of offerings…

So what are you interested in? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller…

Fill this out and let me know, we can start to build interest and go from there.

Questionnaire/Interest List

This may seem like a lot of questions, but based on experience, this is a minimum to get a good idea about who you are, and for you to understand who I am and what I offer.
