Divining with Gemstones Using Shamanic Methods. Lithomancy is divination by stones, charms or talismans of stone. Traditionally lithomancy is practiced either by using the standard metaphysical meanings of the stones or by how the light refracts off of them. While these methods are valid, I have found over the years that crystals/stones, like all beings, have personalities and jobs they prefer to do. When we let the crystals speak their mind, divination with them becomes easier and more accurate. In this workshop participants will take a more personalized approach to connecting with and divining with stones. All Welcome. Sirius Rising: 11:00 -12:30 p.m. MON, July 21 Storytelling

Maiden, Mother & Queen
The span of time between when a woman goes from the mother archetype to the crone archetype can sometimes span decades. In this workshop we will discuss what happens during the stage between Mother & Crone, the “Queen” stage. The Queen stage is a time where women tend to have more power, authority and autonomy. It is a time when a woman has more time to focus on her own needs, creations & growth. This workshop will discuss this stage of a woman’s life, as well as some deities and historical women associated with it. We will explore ways that we can harness. Adults Only.
