Working with Ancestors – Class

Working with ancestors is often considered central to western magic, but do these figures actually need to be biologically related to us?

In this class, Rebecca Beattie examines ways of working with figures from our past. Taking a compassionate view of the subject, she explores various types of ancestors, from familial to archetypal to the spirits of witchcraft. Participants also learn how to approach this area if they don't know the identities of their passed family members. Perfect for those looking to connect with their roots, expect to learn about the history of ancestor worship and a handful of practical techniques for beginning this practice. 

Please bring a notebook and pen.
