I’m off to DC Pagan Pride Day to teach a workshop on Magickal Washington. I decided to not be a one-note-wonder and not teach something specifically Jewitchy. I figured I’d do something a little broader, but still true to my path. I love connecting to the place I live here and now as well as connecting to the places of my ancestors, which is why I developed this workshop. Of course, I only have a 1/2 hour to do this — so it’s really the introduction to my introduction!
I figured I’d post a PDF of the handout I’ll be handing out, especially since I just ran out of printer ink!
Below are handy links to the websites and the books on Amazon that are referenced in the handout: Magickal Washington (pdf)
