Module 1: Reclaiming the Wisdom of the Witch & Ancestral Traditions to Heal the “Witch Wound” & Create a Life of Wonder & Wellbeing (October 2)
Rediscover the 5,000-year-old shamanic roots of Witchcraft — the Craft of the Wise — its deep reverence for the sacredness of life, and its universal spiritual practices that can restore your power, wisdom, and magic.
Phyllis will introduce you to the wicce — the wise one, healer, and guide who was deeply respected in her role as healer, seer of the sacred, maker of divine magic, and keeper of wisdom.
Recognize the record of hidden history preserved in the land — in ancient sacred sites, places of power, standing stones, labyrinths, and folk practices and festivals that survive throughout Europe.
Phyllis will guide you in two powerful practices to heal the Witch wound — the persecution of (mostly) women and our Euro-Indigenous traditions — as you rediscover and liberate the wise one, her power, and your own.
The first practice is a purification to metabolize grief and banish negativity, and open to the flow of love and life force.
The second is a guided shamanic journey to meet the Witch, the wise one, the healer within — and receive her guidance and help to recover your power, wisdom, and magic to create a life of wonder and wellbeing.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- The history of Witchcraft from ancient times to modern day — and what it truly means to be a Witch in today’s society
- An introduction to Witchcraft as a spiritual practice that anyone can benefit from — whether or not you’re a Witch
- How Witchcraft can awaken divine magic within yourself, alter your consciousness, enable you to experience Spirit, reconnect you with the natural world, and help you heal, change, grow, experience wonder, manifest your intentions, and create a life of wellbeing and joy
- A simple yet effective purification practice to banish negativity, metabolize grief, release limiting beliefs and woundedness, open blockages to the flow of divinity, and experience healing
- An empowering guided meditation to meet the Witch within to bless the divine magic within you and open you to the divine, natural magic of the world around you
Module 2: Create Sacred Space With the Casting of a Circle to Protect, Honor & Cultivate the Life Force Within You & Others (October 9)
Healing the Witch wound opens space within you. It’s time to cast a circle around that space. Casting is an ancient spiritual practice used by Indigenous peoples across the world, including our European ancestors, that creates sacred space and honors the space around us as sacred.
Phyllis will guide you step-by-step through the process of casting a circle to empower you and protect, honor, and cultivate the life force awakening within you.
Experience how the simple practice of casting a circle creates a consecrated, safe, and sacred space where you can work with Spirit, experience real magic, and begin to manifest the life you deserve.
Phyllis will explain the richness that this essential practice offers — a circle is a container that holds energy as you meditate, celebrate, heal, conduct ceremony, make magic, and encounter divinity, ancestors, and guides.
It’s a spiritual practice that opens and shifts your consciousness, as well as a portal between worlds — a place outside space and time where the worlds are one.
Cast a circle and the Divine Feminine, the Goddess, takes form. Circle embodies the Goddess and you’ll experience how you receive her blessings to nourish your body, soul, and life.
In this module, you’ll:
- Learn to cast a circle for yourself — and participate in casting a circle with others
- Discover how casting a circle with others creates an ecosystem of love and community through real, physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic connection
- Experience the blessing energies within this sacred space
- Recognize how to receive what you need from the circle to take into your daily life
- Explore how casting a circle teaches you to move in harmony with the natural, feminine movement of energy in circles, cycles, and connection
- Explore how to create an altar at the center of the circle as a focal point where Spirit and creation meet
Module 3: Discover Nature As Your Spiritual Teacher & Guide to Wholeness, Connection & Home (October 16)
Nature embodies Spirit — Phyllis will show you how Nature can be your greatest spiritual teacher. Examine the Table of Correspondences, a wise system of interconnections between the elements, your true human nature, and the Divine.
Discover how air, fire, water, and earth are vital parts of you — and learn life-changing practices to bring the energies of the elements into yourself for healing, balance, wholeness, and wellbeing.
Work with them as you make your magic to restore balance and vitality to your life, your mind, energy, emotions, body, and spirit.
Phyllis will guide you in a simple yet profoundly powerful practice called green breathing that will awaken you to Nature’s magic encoded in your DNA — the divine template that guides the wellbeing of all living things in ways that make the world better for all life.
Experience Nature’s magic flowing into you and through you back into the world, charged with gratitude and love.
Begin to revitalize and reconnect inside and out as you feel yourself enmeshed in a sacred world organized to nourish, support, and bless you with everything you need for a healthy, happy, meaningful life. And you’ll realize that you are never alone.
In this module, you’ll:
- Recognize ways to connect with the elements — air to deepen your self-awareness, intuition, and communication; fire for joy, energy, transformation, and courage; water for unblocking emotional obstacles, love, and sensuality, and earth for creativity, manifesting, and healing
- Begin to experience how the magic that surrounds you in the natural world is also within you
- Discover how to invite the elements to be with you in a circle
- Explore how to integrate the energies of the elements into your own energy system
- Consider how to spend time in Nature — paying attention to the Spirit and magic all around you
- Learn to restore, revitalize, and rebalance your relationship with Nature, with yourself, and with Spirit, recognize the web of interconnections and interdependence between all living things, and experience the magic starting to flow
Module 4: Engage Spirit Through the Goddess Isis & the Moon to Receive Guidance, Healing & Nourishment (October 23)
Witches don’t believe in the Divine — they experience it. Cast a circle, open your heart, walk in the woods, breathe with the trees, swim in the seas, heal with plants, and learn from animals. Invite Spirit to be with you and it will appear.
Discover one of the most powerful divine manifestations, ever-present yet absent from our awareness for thousands of years — the Divine Feminine, the Goddess.
Participate in casting a circle to welcome her. Then, with an ancient invocation, Phyllis will lead you into the presence of the Great Goddess Isis to receive guidance, healing, nourishment, encouragement — whatever blessing you need as her beloved child.
Learn about the wisdom, energies, and magic of the moon that lights the path within, back to the holy wisdom of your body, intuition, and dreams.
Discover the three lunar Goddesses — Maiden, Mother, and Crone — whose light illuminates the secret sitting in the center of your soul.
Phyllis will explain how you can work with the cyclical energies of the moon as you cultivate the Goddess within and learn how to time your spiritual work, your ceremony, and magic with the phases of the moon for the best results.
In this module, you’ll:
- Practice casting a circle to experience the flow of Divine Feminine energies
- Experience Phyllis’ favorite invocation of the Goddess Isis to Draw Down the Moon, helping you forge a deeper connection and allow magic into your life for fulfillment, harmony, and love
- Receive guidance, healing, and blessings from the Goddess to open yourself up to a life filled with magic and manifestation
- Learn how the presence of the Goddess changes the way you view yourself, your power, your world, and your role in it
- Recognize how the Goddess’ return is vital to reestablishing balance, health, resilience, regeneration, and life to our planet, cultures, and lives, which are dangerously out of balance
- Discover 3 aspects of the lunar Goddess and how to time your spiritual work with the moon’s phases for best results
- Explore the many faces and forms of the Goddess throughout time and across the globe, especially the forms revered by our European and African ancestors
Module 5: Celebrate the Sabbat of Samhain to Harness the Energy of the Seasons, Reset, Seek New Visions & Honor the Ancestors (October 30)
Witchcraft is, above all, a joyful spiritual practice. Even in the darkest times, it offers hope because Spirit is embodied by the natural world — and by you.
Every six weeks, the Witch’s Wheel of the Year offers a seasonal, spiritual lesson for life called a Sabbat. These are sacred days for celebration, reflection, transformation, and inspiration that can help you come into attunement with the energies, wisdom, and blessings of our sacred world.
Phyllis explains how the Wheel of the Year provides wise guidance for your life as a heroic, spiritual journey. Aligning your life with Nature’s eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth helps you become wiser, more peaceful, and more adept at manifesting a life of joy and fulfillment.
Learn how to work with Mother Earth’s magic of rebirth to release what you’ve outgrown, draw upon deep wells of inner resilience, harvest the seeds of lessons learned, and begin again, revitalized and transformed.
This module aligns with the Sabbat of Samhain, the Celtic New Year, when we and the Earth enter the dream time to rest and seek visions of the next cycle of life. It’s also when the veil between the worlds is the thinnest and our ancestors are most able to visit with us and offer guidance, help, and love.
Phyllis will guide you in a simple yet moving celebration to honor your ancestors whose spirits are eternal — to visit with them and receive their blessings. You can also choose to work with the seasonal energies to release something that no longer serves your growth, happiness, and wellbeing.
Phyllis will also share how to create a dream pillow to incubate a dream of your next cycle of creativity and life — and how aligning with the seasonal cycles makes your spiritual journey easier, your life more harmonious, and your magic more powerful.
In this module:
- Phyllis shares the love story of the Goddess and God — Father Sun and Mother Earth — the myth within the Wheel of the Year, and the life lessons these stories offer you
- Learn about God as a loving partner in “his” diverse forms, including the Horned God of the Animals, Green Man of the Plants, the companion of the Goddess
- Discover how to recognize the spiritual wisdom of the land in the Earth’s seasonal cycle of life, death, and rebirth
- Explore how the Sabbats can help you live in harmony with the Divine by living in harmony with Nature
- Practice casting a circle with others at a Sabbat and experience what liminal space feels like
- Work with the Wheel of the Year for personal transformation
- Work with seasonal energy to reflect on what you need to let go of and what lessons you need to learn
- Be guided in how to incubate your dreams of new life by creating a dream pillow, journaling, and paying attention to the seeds of your future appearing within
Module 6: Experience Magic as the Presence of Spirit With Grounding & Chanting Energy Techniques (November 6)
Phyllis will banish any misunderstandings that limit your access to the divine power that’s all around you and within you.
Contrary to scary stereotypes, Hollywood special effects, and bad books, magic is not about manipulating, controlling, or commanding Nature or supernatural forces for personal power, ego, or gain.
Magic is natural and divine, humbling and empowering. It’s the power of the Witch — it’s your power.
It’s what happens when you experience the presence of Spirit. It’s an innate ability, a sixth sense, a sense of the sacred that you can cultivate and celebrate. Magic is how you co-create your life and a better world — with Spirit and with Nature. Magic is who you are.
Phyllis will guide you in two powerful energy techniques — grounding to receive divine, magical energy from Mother Earth, and chanting to ecstatically raise energy from within yourself for magical transformation in every part of your life.
In this module, you’ll:
- Learn how simple daily practice will help you cultivate your ability to experience a life of magic
- Discover how magic is ever-present, surrounding you, flowing into you and through you into the world
- Explore how magic is communion and co-creation rather than domination and manipulation
- Experience various practices to receive and experience divine, magical energy — including meditation, journeying, visualization, green breathing, floating in water, being in Nature, invocations, and the trance of Drawing Down the Moon
- Recognize techniques for raising energy like dancing, drumming, rattling, fire dancing, and chanting
Module 7: Discover the Spirituality & Wonder of Spellcasting — Learn the Steps & Cast a Spell to Reclaim Your Inner Power & Sovereignty (November 13)
Discover one of the most famous ways Witches make magic — spellcasting.
Recognize what spellcasting is and what it is not. Learn the secret of successful spellcasting and how to cast a spell that will always work in the most important way.
Phyllis will explain how spellcasting is an empowering, creative, personal, and spiritual practice — and you’ll learn all the essential steps to cast your own spell. She’ll also guide you step-by-step through the process of casting a spell for your wellbeing and awakened sense of wonder.
Find out about “sympathetic magic,” the most common form of spells, and how to use the Table of Correspondences, to work with deity, elements, herbs and other plants, crystals, and objects of power to create your spells.
In casting spells, you’ll experience your own spiritual creativity, power, and faith in your ability to create a life of fulfillment, passion, and purpose.
In harmony with Nature’s magic — whether or not you’re a Witch — you’ll master a joyful, personal, and spiritual practice to create a life of health and happiness that will make the world a better place because you are here.
And, you’ll remember that you are a love spell cast by Spirit!
