“These past years I have been presenting a number of classes on various British Trad Craft subjects. Collectively called “Lifting the Curtain”, these classes have endeavored to open up and present the what, how and why of many fundamental aspects of British Trad Craft. I have tried to present a fresh perspective and a hands on approach to the Old Craft while hopefully shedding some light into what lies beneath much of the material.
As those who have attended my popular class, “Stations of the Sun” know, the annual cycle of Sabbat Festivals holds many keys to our spiritual well being and potential evolution. The Sabbat Wheel forms a foundational Legacy of Keys upon which we may base our Spiritual and Magical practices. However, one must fully explore and grasp each individual Sabbat in order to claim the riches within.
To align ourselves with the Sabbat cycle is to align ourselves with Divine Nature, the Cosmos and Tides of Creation both within us and about us. A large Ancestral Legacy is woven within the lore and practices associated with the festival stations of the Sun together with the Suns interplay with the Earth, Moon and other heavenly bodies. This series offers seekers of all levels a deeper, insightful exploration of that material. Exploring each Sabbat so we may grasp the divine connection we each carry in a powerful, personal and practical manner.
Over 2012, with each turn of the Wheel, we shall explore the Legacy that accompanies each Sabbat, the what, why and how within each station, one Sabbat Station at a time…
Come join us, explore what underlying forces are expressed within the Mysteries, Lore and Practices associated with the upcoming Sabbat and how to use those mysteries to further your own spiritual evolution.”
While there is a lot to be gained from doing each of these classes in succession, it is not required that you do so. Each class will hold its own and have plenty to offer, whether experienced as part of a series or as a single class.
Saturday April 14th at the Green Man 3:00pm to 5:00pm Griffin is lifting the curtain on Beltene in the popular ongoing Sabbat Series. We’ll be exploring why this is one of the Greater Fire Festival Sabbats and how it is worked both from a Pagan approach as well as well as that of a British Traditional Initiate Witch. We’ll be digging into Valpurgis Nacht as well as Beltene and all the associated practices, lore and approaches…. I’ll be covering a wide spread of Beltene subjects from a BTW Initiate seekers perspective — from Dragon Lore associations to the White Goddess of May; turning abstract mythos into practical tools of spirituality. Come stir the spirit and soul with the Legacy of Beltene and awaken the sleeping Dragon!
