Workshops & Classes

2012 ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS CALENDAR

Please refer to the Events gem on my store website for my activities, classes, and events at http://www.lunasolesoterica.com/. Luna Sol Esoterica is in its 3rd year of operation and there are many events, classes, and festivals lined up, as well as a monthly Meditation Meetup. Each of the Sabbats are celebrated with open circle rituals at the store, normally at 1pm on a designated Saturday. Yule, however, is always celebrated at 6pm inside the store with ritual, song, homemade fruitcake, and wassail. The store keeps me very busy, so I limit my travel so as not to be away very long. Be sure to check the Luna Sol Esoterica website for all the classes and presenters, the events, and festivals being held at the store.

One Saturday of every month from July 2011 through July 2012 I am teaching -- A YEAR AND A DAY: 13 MONTH COURSE IN GREEN WITCHCRAFT -- (7-9 pm) at the Cassadaga Hotel in Cassadaga Florida. Check the Luna Sol Esoterica website (link above) on the Events page for class dates, details about the class, and assignments.

AUTHOR ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS

Since opening my own store my travel is limited mainly to Central Florida events. I am available for Tarot readings and consultations at the store Friday thru Sunday, but reservations are recommended.

I had a terrific time at Circle Sanctuary's Beltane Festival in May 2005, but as you can see it was a pretty chilly May Day in Barneveld, Wisconsin. That night there were snow flurries! Selena Fox throws a terrific celebration, however, and everyone had fun despite the cold weather.

CYMRY CON 2006

I had the pleasure of sharing a cottage with British author and scholar, Caitlin Matthews at Cymry Con 2006. Her Faerie knowledge and Bardic style were a delight to all, and her books are truly wonderful.

Caitlin Mathews, myself, and Edain McCoy posed for a night photo at Cymry Con 2006. We were all very impressed with the site and the warm hospitality.

This is only a small portion of the amazing boulders at the Cymry Con site. Walking through the maze of natural stone formations was like entering another world. This is a sacred site where Native American Shamans from the local tribes once gathered. Later, wild horses were corraled on the 40 acres here, and thus the name Horse Pens 40 for this evocative site in Alabama near Birmingham.

Another view of a pathway through a natural portal into the depths of the boulders at Horse Pens 40 in Alabama.

It is always fun getting together with Dr. Raymond Buckland and Christopher Penczak.

FLORIDA PAGAN GATHERING BELTANE 2007

I enjoyed this event immensely, and enjoyed my time with Janet Farrar, Gavin Bone, Edain McCoy, and Selena Fox. Here I am with Janet, Edain, and Gavin after the Beltane Ritual.

The ritual was presented by Coven of the Goddess Moon, and here are pictures of Isis and of Isis with Osiris. Druydess of Rowan Grove made a stunning Isis!

Gavin took photos after Lord Morpheus and Lady Danu called upon the Ancestors to join us at the ritual, and boy did they arrive!

This was a fun book signing for all of us prior to INATS East in 2004. Authors are Carl McColman, Dorothy Morrison, Ann Moura, Raymond Buckland, and Trish Telesco.
