Magpie Training, the first level of Blackfeather Mystery School, offers a foundational, full-spectrum training in Empowered Witchcraft developed by mystic witch Irene Glasse and spiritworker Caine Dreamwalker. This training is focused specifically on reducing self-sabotage while providing a solid grounding in magickal theory, dedicant practices, mysticism, ritual structure and performance, spellcasting, beginning spiritwork and journeywork, and more. This Mystery School is a synthesis and outgrowth of more than 20 years in the art and practice of witchcraft, and threads the needle between the structure of Traditional Witchcraft and the freedom of Mysticism. No previous experience in witchcraft is needed. More advanced practitioners may find the course helpful in terms of filling ‘gaps’ in their skill sets. All participants will need a copy of “Blackfeather Mystery School: The Magpie Training.”
This in-person offering of Magpie Training meets once per month for a total of 16 sessions (there is no session in November) at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick. This course can be taken as a complete path of study as well as individual sessions on a drop-in basis.
Magpie Training is offered on a donation basis to meet the financial needs of all participants. The recommended donation is $10 per session. Please bring cash or donate online at https://tinyurl.com/FCUUPS. Write in your donation amount, select “once”, and add the note “Blackfeather”.
Magpie Training meets at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick at 4880 Elmer Derr Road, Frederick, MD 21703 the 3rd Thursday of the month (October’s meeting is the FOURTH Thursday) at 7 PM.
