Thriving in Spring
A Course on Folk Magic and Wisdom
May 19th-June 30th
About The Class:
Join me for an intensive 7-week course that focuses on age-old methods for thriving in spring and early summer. We will explore the lore and practices of pre-industrial Scandinavia and Northern Europe, and we will also weave in modern practice. In this course, students will learn the traditional folk magic and lore of Spring and how to apply that to their everyday lives to thrive and unfold spiritually.
This class has a focus on practicing folk healing, learning traditional folklore, finding life purpose, and developing folk wisdom. Students will gain awareness of current limitations and learn how to grow into their most authentic and thriving selves.
We will take a winding path through the springtide traditions, midsummer practices, traditional symbols of thriving, plant magic, water magic, old forms of cleansing, written spells, energy healing, shifting fate, developing wisdom, and more.
Classes on the spring tradition will have a focus on learning about—and how to work with—the animals, plants, and spirits of spring.
Students will make and take home doftvatten (talismanic perfumes), paper talismans, and healing waters.
