There ain’t no magic like down home magic. Folk magic is an intrinsic part of magical culture, but is sometimes overlooked by ceremonial magicians despite its effectiveness. On the flip side, after the increased publication of magical works stemming from groups like the Golden Dawn and the Theosophical Society we see a dissemination of European ceremonial works into American folk magic culture. In this class we won’t be exploring the history of the blending of ceremonial magic and American folk magic, known as Hoodoo, but will present a series of techniques from both systems and ways to blend them to pack a more potent magical punch!

Two Trees: The Hermetic and Hebrew Kabbalah (Open)

Sat. July 2, 2011
8:00-9:30pm; doors open at 7:30pm
$20 admission; free for dues-current members

Taught by Richard Kaczynski, PhD
Chair of the United States Grand Lodge Education Committee Kabblah Subcommittee

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE TONIGHT!

In the 1400s, the Jewish mystical system called the kabbalah split into two very different streams: The magical system taught by western mystery schools like the Golden Dawn, A.'.A,', and O.T.O.; and the rabbinical system found in works by Aryeh Kaplan, Benjamin Blech and the like. This talk will delve into both traditions: It will begin by covering how the kabbalah is treated in the west, including the essential tools and building blocks needed to get the most out of one's initiations and magical studies (including the Tree of Life, tarot, correspondences, and how these relate to banishing rituals and "Liber Resh"). Next, it will cover teachings and methods from the "kosher" kabbalah that are rarely discussed by western magicians, but which enrich and expand the practice of kabbalistic magick, including the Lurianic Tree of Life, meditative exercises from Isaac Luria to the early Chasidic mystics, kabbalistic sex magick, and equidistant letter sequences.

Your Divine Work
October 8th & 9th, 2011


          Many of us struggle with our daily, money-­‐earning work because we have a sense that there is bigger work that we are meant to be doing. Listen, now, to the calling of the earth and the stars: There is work that only you can bring to the world through your life, your dreams, your hands, your voice, your heart.  You make manifest this magic, and help weave the cosmos in all its shining beauty.
         What are you willing to risk in order to live the life your heart desires? How can you tune into your own divine nature and shape your destiny? Tap into spirit, sex, and life, and listen: What is the song of your soul? What is the longing pumping through your cells? What is your life's purpose and your True Will? How can you tune into your own divine nature and shape your destiny? Once we understand our Divine Work, our lives take on new energy, connection and significance: We are literally creating the cosmos.
         In this workshop, we will follow energy flow to see what feeds us  and what drains us, and do exercises to clear what we can, and to examine what still stands in our way. We will listen to deity, to life source, and to our own divine nature and ask the question "What is the work of this God? "
        Whatever the answer to this question-­‐a whisper or a shout --- we will take one more step into full power and liberation. We can bring the work we do into alignment with our soul's destiny and together, we can change this world and all the worlds. We can begin today.

The Water Pourer will honor the stone people who makes the lodges possible at the beginning of each round. All people who come with an open heart and open mind are welcome to attend this purification ceremony.

We suggest bringing towels for your use during and after the lodge (two typical bath towels is sufficient) , a sarong or other attire to wear during the sweat, a gallon or two of water to help contribute to the ceremony, a potluck dish to share, and a tobacco or other thanksgiving offering for the Water Pourer.

The shared meal after the ceremony is is brought by those who attend and help with the ceremony. The communal meal is an important part of ceremonies and shows our commitment to the continued health of the people. Please, do not leave the ceremony without thanking the Water Pourer, Singer and Fire-tender.

We respect that you come to Ceremony with an understanding of your spiritual path and traditions, our Ceremonies are not restricted to any specific religion, tradition or path. Ceremony is a way of life and a time for prayer. Pets, alcohol, and illegal substances are not allowed.

Standing Bear Community does not charge for Ceremonies. However, due to the obligations under which we work it is very helpful when people choose to make a donation. Money is always appreciated, it helps to pay for tarps, wood, gas for lawnmowers etc., but donations come in many different fashions; tobacco, sage, sweetgrass, tarps or blankets and helping out.

Event is held rain or shine.

Learn how to combine gums, herbs and woods to create your own incenses that add depth to ritual, use scents to awaken the higher mind and even allow a vehicle for entities to take shape.
