Wiccan High Priestess Deborah Blake (Onyx) will offer a practical overview of Circle do's and don'ts, including handouts on "Ritual Etiquette" as well as the "Nine Nevers" of group practice.
The workshop will explore the similarities and differences between solitary and group magickal work and discuss the benefits (and drawbacks) of both.
Blake will also give helpful suggestions on how to pick the right group for you, or even start one of your own.
This workshop is a must for anyone practicing Paganism with others, even on occasion, and provides a helpful look into group work for those currently practicing on their own.
Blake is the author of the book Circle, Coven & Grove: A Year of Magickal Practice as well as The Everyday Witch A-Z, coming out next year.
