Planetary Magic: Occult Mercury - Workshop

At the core of modern pagan witchcraft is a knowledge system concerning traditions of nature, connection and embodiment to the astrological planets. Throughout magical history, practitioners of magic have looked to the planets for inspiration and magical help. From the earliest beginnings of written magical texts - the grimoires - magical systems were based on the seven planetary powers that were visible in the night sky. This class introduces the pre-modern planetary powers - the Occult Mercury - and teaches how to identify its plants, herbs, and other correspondences, and how to work mercurial magic into a personal practice to bring about change in one's life in the areas ruled by Mercury - money, travel and influence.

Dr Rebecca Beattie has spent more than twenty years studying and practicing witchcraft and Wicca, and has a deep understanding of the traditions underpinning the practices. A published author, her books include Planetary Magic: A friendly introduction to creating modern magic with the seven energies and Wheel of the Year: A Nurturing Guide.
