Wyrd Witch 101 (Gladstone)

Wyrd Witch 101 is an ongoing Women's Learning Circle for individuals wanting to initiate or deepen their relationship to Witchcraft. Every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month, you'll have the opportunity to explore, share, ask questions, experiment, play, and practice in an intimate setting other magical sisters. The 1st Friday will be held in SE Portland, while the 3rd Friday will be held in Gladstone. The intention is to create a container where all participants can express their unique gifts and delve into creating meaningful, lasting, and authentic personal practices, so that their magic may flourish and weave naturally into everyday life.

Each gathering will start off with an "emptying of baskets" where we personally express what we've been feeling lately and what our current emotional, spiritual, and mental landscape looks like. Within this sharing we witness our sisters and learn how to be of support, comfort, encouragement, and accountability to our fellow Witches . We'll then collectively pick a magical topic or two to discuss followed by some guided instruction and exploration of said topic.

We'll deep dive into practices such as: creating rituals, spellcrafting, enchanting, grounding, clearing, protection, manifesting & visioning, altar tending, divination & scrying, working with the elements, connecting with our guides and ancestors, celebrating the turning of the wheel & seasonal practices, how to work with deities, embodiment, deepening our connections with plant, animal, and nature spirits...and much, much MORE.

About Your Host: Ida is an American born, Nordic Folk Magic & Shamanic Practitioner who practices the Scandinavian magical lineage known as Trolldom. She is a well-seasoned Witch whose magic is rooted in nature based connection, animism, ancestor veneration, Nordic paganism, and Scandinavian folk traditions. Her ancestors hail from Sweden, Norway, Scotland, Belgium, Germany, and Poland.

Even though Ida leans heavily towards her Norse side, she has a knack for connecting others to their very own unique and diverse lineages and traditional practices. She believes that there's much to be learned within our bone memory and the powerful folk medicine that our great grandmothers used and trusted. One of her many passions is to spark other women to rekindle their roots while fully embracing their authentically Wyrd Witch. To learn more about Ida’s work, visit www.IdaCavewoman.com.

Attendance, Cancellation, & Punctuality Agreement:
******************************************
I intentionally keep these gatherings intimate for the sake of the work we do together. You MUST cancel your "attending RSVP" no later than 48 hours in advance. This is a popular event and if you cancel last minute, you block another woman's opportunity to attend. I also ask that you respect everyone's time and be punctual. We'll start right at 7pm and the door will be locked by 7:15pm. Please be mindful and honor these agreements.
