Each morning will open with an opportunity to set our individual and group intentions for the day's events. All day long and into the evening, we'll enjoy a varied mix of individual presentations and panels, exploring a wide range of topics including tarot, astrology, numerology, paranormal investigation, ghosts, mediumship, magick, crystals, witchcraft, Pagan spirituality, healing, meditation, UFOs, and more. To close each evening, we'll connect through some social time, roundtable discussions, group activities, and games that will give everyone at the conference the opportunity to teach as well as to learn. With open minds and open hearts, we'll brainstorm ways to utilize our special abilities and knowledge to overcome the challenges we face personally and collectively as humans here on earth. We'll also do a little research, trying out some group experiments with telepathy, remote viewing, and other psychic skills. There may even be a few contests and surprise performances!

Growing Right Relationship with Self with Tommie StarChild

The art and craft of magic and witchery have become one of the fastest growing religious/spiritual practices over the last decade. Many books have been written on the subject of how to, and classes can be found all over the world. One thing that is often not found is the foundational practice vital to working the craft. “Growing Right Relationship with Self” will dip into this practice of fostering a relationship with self; who is self, and the difference between the ego-self and the authentic-self. We will take a look at the Spiritual, Mystical, and Magical steps of becoming a co-creator of one’s reality, and how growing right relationship with self is the Spiritual step that is the foundation on which a sound magical practice is built.

Psychic Spirit Communications with Drake Furie

Hey you! Ever wonder how psychic communication is done? Whether or not you have experienced the presence of a spirit, you probably have met someone who has or even can do that on purpose with full intent on psychic interaction.  I would be willing to bet you’ve seen the cards (tarot), crystal ball, runes, magic mirrors, and oujia boards at times possibly in pop culture even. If any of this sounds familiar, Drake Furie invites you to a brief introduction to psychic/spirit communication and some of the common items used. For those with questions, there will be time allowed at the end. All ages welcome. Please take care when handling items and please ask first.

The ritual will include poetry, song, and a wicked martial arts demonstration!

Join Susan Langley, WitchyReiki Master Teacher, as we trek over the Time Bridge to the Astral Plane. Meet your guides and gods, let go of the losers in your life, and help create the future you want to live by healing the Past. In the Many Worlds interpretation of the Universe, a version of you exists on many other timelines. How does this happen? When you choose to observe critical moments in your life, a new world is created each time, causing a split. So, you exist both on this timeline, and the new timeline. Susan explains, “It is my belief that we can use that moment to change course, not on this timeline, but to have the life we want, and need, on that new timeline. And, understand that you are in contact, through your Higher Self and the Akashic Records, with that new version of You. And you can visit. The magick works both ways. The door is open. The TimeBridge awaits. What critical moment do you want to observe, and change for the better?”

Healing with the Shadows: A Brief Journey into the Abyss with Amber Zeta

In this workshop, Amber Zeta will offer her insights on the realm of the shadows, from entities and ghosts to the demons within. So many people are freaked out by their personal shadow forms and tend to suppress them, ignore them, and actively fight them. What then happens is these shadows are projected out and attract maybe not so fun things, like spirits, people, and things that echo your shadow. It does not have to be that way! Our shadows are a collection of all the things we do not want to see about ourselves, bad AND good. This workshop is a chance to learn something new about your hidden aspects and introduce yourselves, maybe even find new allies and friends within yourself and your shadow. Through wisdom sharing, storytelling, meditation, and a tiny taste of ritual, allow Ms. Zeta to illuminate the shade and let you shine a little brighter.

Throwing the Bones: The Arte of Cleromantic Divination with Soror Mimm

Bone reading - a form of sortilege using bones, shells, stones, and other curios – is an ancient divinatory practice with its roots in numerous cultures around the world. There are many different approaches, techniques, and materials used in bone divination with each culture lending its own flavor to the practice. It is not a divination method that belongs to any one particular culture or religion and as a result, the methodology used by individual readers may be as varied as the individual pieces themselves.Unlike reading tarot cards or runes, bone reading may appear a bit chaotic and unstructured at first. The process may all seem a bit daunting and overwhelming for the novice bone reader. In this presentation, Soror Mimm will deepen your understanding of this ancient practice. She will teach you the basics of this animistic divinatory arte, how to create your own bone reading kit, how to feed and care for your bones, and how to read common patterns and spreads for yourself and others!

The class will culminate with students drawing their own created sigils.

The Worldview of the Ancient Druids with Michael R. Gorman

Learn about ancient Druids and what their worldview and cultural perspective has to say about living in the modern world. The Celts and their tribal consciousness had a handle on how to live sustainably with the rest of the natural world, a message we desperately need today.

Spirit informed everything for them, even in the most mundane and practical parts of their daily lives.
