Upcoming Online Class Offerings

Nov 7

Posted by

I’ve gotten comfortable enough using Zoom over the last couple of years, that I’ve decided to offer a couple of workshops and classes via zoom. The first round will be in January. Here is the information for the upcoming January Class. I”m going to start with one class and see how it goes.

 

Class 1: Getting Started with the Ancestors
Dates: Friday nights, 6-8PM EST January 5, 12, 19, 26.
Cost: $150 classes are capped at 8 people, because in smaller classes we can really engage deeply.

This class will meet face-to-face via zoom and will explore everything one needs to know to get started in honoring one’s ancestors. We will look at

* ritual practices including setting up and actively maintaining the ancestor shrine,
* dealing with damaged, angry, or wounded dead, ritual elevations,
* the purpose of purification practices,
* the when, how, and why of venerative protocols,
* practical aspects to ancestor veneration like how to get started researching one’s dead.
* Finally, I’ll discuss potential pitfalls and important troubleshooting techniques.

This class will prepare the newcomer to our traditions to begin one of the most important aspects of polytheistic practice: getting one’s ancestral house in good working order. For those that already honor their dead, this class will help fill in the gaps.

I’ve already had significant interest in this class so if you’re interested, please register sooner rather than later. Email me at Krasskova at gmail.com to reserve your spot.


Over the summer, I’m considering teaching the following classes:

1. Introduction to Heathen Cosmology: Exploring our Creation Story
2. Developing Divination Protocols
3. Runemal: Working Through the First Aett
4. Exploring the Bacchae and the Mysteries of Dionysos (I did do my time in Classics after all and I live with a Dionysian. ^^ This is my favorite mystery play).
5. The Basics of Devotion

Please let me know which ones you are the most interested in. I will only be offering two over the summer and I haven’t yet decided on which two.

    I would definitely be interested in courses about Heathen Cosmology and the Runes!
