Description
Practitioners of magick will learn how to add a desert influence to their practice. This course covers the magical properties of desert plants, the magick of thunderstorm water, honoring ancestors within the desert, crafting incense with desert herbs, casting a circle, smudging, and more. The desert speaks to us with harsh summer heat, with frigid winter nights—both extremes showing us the necessity of balance. Owls and coyotes call out at night, the crows caw in early mornings and throughout the day. As the moon rises above this precious land, javelinas prowl for food; the earth slumbers—awaiting rain. When the rain finally comes, both creatures of this land and those of us who share this sacred space with them rejoice.There is so much magick in the desert! But we must always draw it down. We draw down desert magick whenever we conserve water, by recognizing the brilliant landscape before us and honoring it, through appreciating the gentle breezes that cool us, respecting plants and animals. We work our magick, both in the heat of the sun and under the full moon, as we allow the energy of this land of mystery to infuse us—knowing that we are blessed to be here. The energy and character of the desert is unique and beautiful. If you are a practitioner of magick, this course will present you with ideas for incorporating desert elements into your practice. Regardless of your path, this course invites you to look at the desert in a new and very exciting way. Blessed be.
