Ritual, Magic and Intention
Magic is your birthright
Pam Grossman and I recorded this on Beltane, on a full moon in Scorpio. We talk about how magic works, how to make it yours, and why casting a magic circle is one of the most potent things you can do before any spell, ritual, or creative act.
Doesn’t that make you want to light a candle, carve a sigil, or just stand in your backyard and feel something? That’s your practice calling you. Pam has built an offering to help you understand this work in depth and develop your own practice.
PROGRAM
Magic Circles Workshop
Pam’s work takes one of the most fundamental and powerful tools in magical practice and makes it immediately accessible, whether you’re casting your first circle or deepening a practice you’ve had for years. Here’s what she covers:
- The History and Forms of Magic Circles From Stonehenge to Jewish traditions of calling in angels to indigenous practices across cultures, people have been casting magic circles for centuries. Understanding the breadth of this tradition gives the practice a depth that makes it land differently.
- How to Cast Your Own Magic Circle Pam breaks down the key steps and components for creating your practice, teaches you different styles of casting, and guides you through magical exercises so you leave with the confidence to cast a variety of circles rather than just one.
- Open to Everyone From the curious newbie to the seasoned practitioner. You’ll need a few simple items, a candle, some incense or herbs, a stone or crystal, water, and something personal that makes you feel magical. Everything else Pam provides.
