Fio Gede Parma

The Land is Our Grimoire, the Body is the Book

Bio + Workshop
Ruth Connell recently filmed Nandor Fodor and The Talking Mongoose with Simon Pegg and Minnie Driver, directed by Adam Segal. She begins shooting Dead Boy Detectives this September. Created by Steve Yockey (The Flight Attendant) and produced by Greg Berlantti with Neil Gaiman as EP, it will air on HBO Max early 2023. This follows on from a 6 season run on the CW show Supernatural where she started out as a guest star in her first USA TV show and went on to become fan favourite Rowena, Queen of Hell! In the UK Ruth built up a strong theatre profile playing lead roles in award winning productions like Goethe’s Faust (Royal Lyceum Edinburgh), Men Should Weep (UK No1 National Tour), No Mean City (Citizens Theatre Glasgow). She was nominated as “Best Actress” for her performance as a female Captain Hook in “Peter Pan: The Boy Who Hated Mothers” at Noah Wylie’s The Blank Theatre in LA. Ruth can also be heard as the voice of Princess Merida for Disney/Pixar in several Brave recordings and Video Games.
Bio + Workshop
In the deep and sensual mysticism of traditional witchcraft we are oriented to the great compass and crossroads of all being and knowing. Through practices and processes of discernment, movement, stillness, dissolving, and alignment we witches are able to connect in with the web of life that is distilled as the land where we are and the lands we carry in us… we drop into the crossroads of power that helps concentrate our magic and refine our relationships with the ancestors and spirits. The land and the body meet and commune. Ever and ever.

 

Fio Gede Parma (they/she) is a non-binary, queer Balinese-Australian author, mentor, initiate, and witch. They have been intimately involved in four Craft traditions and teach actively in Feri, Wildwood, and Reclaiming. She is a priestess of several Great Mysteries, among them Persephone, Aphrodite, Hekate, and the Lady of the Wildwood. Fiogedeparma.com

Kanani Soleil

Cauldron Magick for the Extra AF

Bio + Workshop
We will discuss the benefits of using cauldrons as a magickal tool. Different types and uses for your cauldron in your magickal practice.Tips, tricks and spells that you can use while working with your cauldron. Join us as Kanani answer’s the age old question, “Does size really matter?” Spoiler alert… Absolutely

 

A Pacific Northwest girl at heart, Kanani Soleil (she/her) was born with a desire to learn the secrets of the universe and a fascination with different theologies. She actively sought out different paths in an effort to find her way. At twenty, she embraced Witchcraft. She became a proud mother to the two souls whose spirits were with her for years, a daughter and a son who look and act just as they did in her visions. Her favorite incense is Nag Champa because it reminds her of outdoor markets. Her practice involves candle Magick and reading Tarot. Her favorite phrase is “If you can’t stir with the big girls, stay away from the cauldron.” #soccermommorticia

The Power of Inner Knowing
Beginner, Seeker, Practitioner

Bio + Workshop
Those of us who are called to this Path, come because of something we often can’t put into words. Some may call it a nudge, whispers from the unseen, spirit speaking to us, or for many it’s an inner knowing, something that has been with us since childhood, that’s always been there, something we can’t ignore that grows stronger with time. Some are blessed with heredity guidance to help nurture this inner calling. While many others must blindly stumble upon one path after another until they find their footing and continue the journey of a lifetime. They find themselves seeking, practicing, discarding, discerning, until they truly find what works for them, and put into practice, practices and methods that truly connect them to the magical spiritually divine. So is the journey of the Witch, the Beginner, the Seeker, the Practitioner. We all seek the way, the knowledge, and the information to truly help us keep going. In this workshop we’ll listen to music from the “Powerful Juju” playlist and discuss ways to help you keep looking, while you journey to that magical/magickal place that fuels your soul.

Hilary Whitmore

Shadow Work: Leading with Truth and Integrity

Bio + Workshop
You’ve probably seen people talking about shadow work and are wondering what it’s all about. Shadow work is the act of uncovering the parts of ourselves that we keep hidden deep down so that we can examine, address, and heal them. In this class we will be learning about how shadow work can deepen and enhance your magick. As witches we always want to strive to be our most authentic selves. Sometimes that takes some digging into the parts of us that aren’t our favorite, the parts we worry about, and judge ourselves for. By doing this important self-discovery work we are able to be more authentic in our intentions and address some of our biggest fears. Doing this work is so worth it because it allows us to enhance our magickal power and lead with truth and integrity. 

 

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Hilary Whitmore (she/they) has been drawn to witchcraft since she was just a wee teen. She was raised in the Presbyterian church and attended catholic school, but both left her searching for something that felt more like home. Hilary has communicated with spirits for as long as she can remember. Both her mother and her grandmother were intuitives and she is grateful to have inherited that special skill, herself. Hilary began practicing witchcraft in her late 20’s, a shift that changed her life in wonderful ways. Today she works with herbs, ancestors, crystals, and candles. In addition to being a witch, Hilary is a trained opera singer and vocal instructor. She produces and performs ritual performance art that has taken her around the globe. After years in London and the Bay Area, she is happy to be back in the Pacific NW, living in Vancouver, WA with her ridiculously cute dogs Riley and Benny.
