About This Event
SISTERS OF THE MOON - FULL HUNTER MOON GATHERING FOR WOMEN
The Pagan Origins of Halloween - Lecture & Workshop
Join Witch of the Dawn Maja D’Aoust as we peer behind the masks of Halloween and explore the ancient and esoteric origins of the traditions that still haunt—and enchant—our celebrations today.
Maja will journey into the mysteries of the harvest season, exploring the ancient agricultural and Pagan traditions that helped shape practices of communion, offerings and trick-or-treating. Drawing upon shamanic and ancestral perspectives, she will illuminate the powerful relationship between the harvest and the human cycles of birth, death, transformation and renewal.
Sacred to cultures throughout the world, autumn has long been understood as a threshold—a season when we gather what has grown, honor what has passed and remember those who came before us. Together, we’ll explore rituals and beliefs whose roots reach back to the beginnings of civilization.
To close our gathering, Maja will draw from her Shadow Seer Tarot deck, inviting collective questions and inquiries inspired by the mysteries of the season.
Sisters of the Moon is a Frogtown Arts gathering created for women to connect, reflect and explore the cycles of nature, creativity and the sacred feminine in community.
Maja has a new tarot deck that she created herself - The Shadow Seer Tarot gives readers an increased awareness of their unconscious dark side for a balanced perception of the world and a more complete sense of self. See details on her new deck HERE. She will have some decks for sale for $30.00
We will have tables and chairs, but if you prefer to sit on the floor, bring a blanket or cushion.
