Path of the Fool Class with Griffin Ced

April 1, 2017 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

$23

“Path of the Fool Class” Presented by Griffin

The figure of the Fool is an important key figure in the Craft as well as in British Traditional Folklore customs of the past. He is far more than the figure we encounter in the Tarot and this class will explore the depths of this material from many aspects and perspectives but always with a bent towards the Craft significance, of course!

It seems to me that Arthur Waite’s presentation of this figure, as an innocent dreamer stepping from the cliff in the rapture of a true leap of faith, though being a true reading of one aspect of this figure….it has tainted, perhaps even buried the rest of the Fool’s vast legacy.

The Fool is a key character portrayed in many mediaeval block prints and endured down through all periods of our history, including but not limited to our present day Clowns. He was deemed worthy to appear in folklore practices, craft mysteries, stories, mythos and lore of many types… and for good reason. Probably one of the most relevant, complex, insightful and rewarding figures to explore within the mythic ranks of the tarot, folklore and Witchcraft as a whole, for he was and is in so many ways a Mystical and Magical fellow par excellence! Yet so often he is brushed over with simplistic, dare I say banal, explanations that leaves the seeker fumbling in the dark leaving who playing the Fool?

So who’s up for playing in my sand box and opening up one big mucking can of worms? Let’s give the Fool his due attention and a run for his poverty as we explore one of the most mesmerizing archetypes in our legacy!

$23 with a $3 discount for cash.
This class will be followed by a separate “Fool’s Path Ritual” at 7:30pm.
