You've probably heard of the 12 animals of the eastern zodiac wheel. In this class, we will cover not only what the animals are and how they relate to each other, but also how the five eastern elements can influence a person's life and their relationships in romance, business, and even friendships. We will also cover karmic numerology (mewas), and how the nine karmic relations between lifetimes influence your astrological reading. We will also explore how each person's trigrams/parkhas rotate throughout the year and how its astrological system can be taken advantage of to imrove one's day-to-day life.
This course will be a combination of the two main astrological systems applied in East Asia: the Chinese system and its sphere of influence (Korea, Manchuria, Vietnam, Japan, and parts of southeast Asia), and the Tibetan system and its sphere of influence (Mongolia, Central Asia, Turkic & Tungusic Siberia)."

Discover potent ancient Egyptian techniques for deep connection with the Divine. The eternal act of making offering weaves connection between human and Divine, Divine and human. It is one of the most important ways we communicate with our Deities.

Hallowed by tradition and empowered by magic, offering was vital to ancient Egyptian worship. And it is just as important today.

As an active form of ritual prayer, offering enables us to participate directly in the creative energy of the universe—and in the sacred, living magic of the Great Egyptian Goddess Isis.

We’ll discuss the theory and practice of Egyptian offering rites, then we’ll participate together in a ritual that “Opens the Ways” to Isis as we make offering to Her—and receive blessings of power and protection from Her in return.

Kispum is a ritual of relationships with the dead that began in Sumerian/Akkadian (2500 BCE) culture and continues today.

The workshop is part exploration of practices and one part ritual for the Pagan and occult communities to maintain connections with departed loved ones and honor ancestors. I incorporate Continuing Bonds Theory as a modern (1970s) alternative to the Western Detachment Theory of “letting go” of the dead. This perspective embraces the idea of ongoing relationships beyond death, focusing on rituals, commemorations, and sacred practices that sustain these connections.

My modern take emphasizes the significance of these enduring ties, providing insight into how such traditions and rituals within Pagan spirituality foster a sense of continuity and reverence for the deceased within the living world. It is a living practice with prayers that have ancient roots but are designed for modern practitioners. It is ongoing work.

Temple of Inanna and Dumuzi will present a devotional to Inanna and Dumuzi, two of the oldest Deities of civilization, love, war, agriculture, herding, and sexuality. In ancient Sumer, non-binary gendered people were among the clergy who served Them.

In accordance with an ancient Sumerian hymn, we will distribute colored scarves to all, with first choice going to those who identify as trans or non-binary gender (queer, third gender, flexible, etc.) and we will all process through the hotel, praising the Goddess and God and asking for Their blessings on our civilization.

Please array yourself beautifully by your personal standards. Glamor, glitz, bling, high drag are especially appropriate, as is attire that expresses your ownership of your own Power: Inanna is not a modest or moderate Goddess. Be wondrous!

The concert and ritual is Saturday night.
Birthed in one of the most historically isolated locations on the planet, Tuvan throat singing is a musical sound like no other. Mysterious, primordial, and awash in a deeply visceral drone, it invokes the full range of the natural world – from deep mountain roots to the whistle of birds in flight.
SoRIAH weaves Tuvan throat singing, pre-Columbian Mexica sounds, classical Indian raga, and modern Western styles, looping and processing his voice and traditional instruments into lush sonic tapestries. His lyrics are often written in the language of Nahuatl (Mexica/Aztec) or Tuvan, preserving and expressing cultural
mysteries with reverence and wonder.
