Honoring Our Rhythms
Friday May 2, 2025 8:30am - 10:00am PDT
Because we are part of nature, rather than separate from it, our bodies have innate rhythms that sync with daily, monthly, and seasonal cycles. When we acknowledge these rhythms and make choices to live in honor of them, we can increase our natural well-being and vitality in both physical and mental/emotional ways.

The science of chronobiology studies periodic activity in our physiology and our adaptations to modern living (artificial light from computers, for instance). Discover our culture’s symptoms and risks by time of day; learn about our monthly hormonal cycles and physical changes; and understand how seasonal rhythms affect our dietary and exercise needs and target systems (immune and nervous)."

Friday May 2, 2025 10:00am - 12:00pm PDT

Spirit Voices: The Roots of Traditional Shamanism
Friday May 2, 2025 1:30pm - 3:00pm PDT
What is shamanism? Where is it from? How exactly does one become a shaman? Anthropologists tell us that the word ""shaman"" derives from the Tungus language and traditions, but few people understand the full scope of what that means.

In this class, we will explore the unfamiliar landscapes of North Asia, the place where shamanism was born, and uncover the indigenous spiritual/shamanic traditions and beliefs of the Turkic, Mongol, and Tungusic peoples of North Asia. This comprehensive class will also cover North Asian shamanic cosmology/mythology, shamanic tools, and practical concepts/methods that attendees can incorporate in their own practices.

This class will largely draw from topics/themes from David's book ""Spirit Voices: The Mysteries and Magic of North Asian Shamanism""."

Eastern Astrology
Saturday May 3, 2025 12:00pm - 1:30pm PDT
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)."

Under the Wings of Isis: The Greater Mysteries of Making Offering
Saturday May 3, 2025 3:30pm - 5:30pm PDT
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.

Temple of Inanna
Saturday May 3, 2025 8:00pm - 10:00pm PDT
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!

J. Allen Cross will cover what it means to live life as a folk practitioner, and how folk traditions, rituals, and methods of working magic develop from everyday living.

From dirt roads to the big city, wherever you find yourself, you’re likely to find people. Where there are people, there’s culture, belief, ways of thinking, resources, methods of problem solving, and all of these things eventually add up to folk magic.

Reviving a Ritual from the Greek Magical Papyri in the 21st Century CE
Sunday May 4, 2025 12:00pm - 1:30pm PDT
Hans Dieter Betz, editor of the Greek Magical Papyri in Translation (PGM), proposes that “In its Hellenistic transformation, the Egyptian religion of the pre-Hellenistic era appears to have been reduced and simplified, no doubt to facilitate its assimilation into Hellenistic religion as the predominant cultural reference". I argue that in the contemporary Pagan paradigm, revival and reconstruction continues this process. In 1999, I was an experienced Wiccan ritualist and magic worker, but the Greek Magical Papyri in Translation opened my eyes to a faraway time, culture, and magical worldview. I was eager to try a PGM ritual for myself, and with the overconfidence of youth, I performed the copper cup divination rite from PDM XIV: 395-427 in public. Focusing on this case study, I will demonstrate that the rite was "reduced and simplified" in an attempt to "facilitate its assimilation" into the Neopagan framework of the early 21st century CE.
