When Circe returned Odysseus’ men to their human form they were improved versions of themselves: scars removed, and made younger. The undoing of a curse that was also a blessing. In this  course we will immerse ourselves in the transformative power of the  witch archetype through meditation, discussion, ritual action,  meditation, and the crafting of and casting of blessings.
 
All levels and all traditions welcome.

About the Presenter:
Nick has been crafting and guiding rituals since the 1980s based on Greek folk magic, modern witchcraft theory, and the techniques of tantric yoga. Nick is also the owner of Hedgecraft Ritual Arts, and has been reading Tarot Cards for over 35 years. Originally taught how to read playing cards by his Greek/Roma family members, he took up Tarot as a natural extension of what the playing deck offers. His first (official) paying job was as a reader and spirit channel at a witchcraft shop in northern Massachusetts in the late 1980s. He has gone on to build a large clientele base of long term and repeat customers - many of  whom started with him in the 80s! In addition to his mastery of cards Nick has been practicing Witchcraft, Yoga and Meditation as a student and teacher for decades. His time spent as a Buddhist monk (Tantric tradition) and a Yoga teacher leader and teacher of teachers deeply  informs his approach to Tarot, Divination, and Spiritual Work.
