From Ritual Well:
Together, we will investigate the following questions: How should humans relate to stones, soil, dust, and microorganisms? What insights can we gain from them, and in what ways can we enhance our ability to listen attentively?

Additionally, what distinctive roles do contemporary spiritual leaders fulfill in soil and stone rituals?

We will cover various ritual examples, including understanding the significance of dust in both ancient and modern magic, the practice of burial in soil, placing stone markers on graves, tracing graves and cemeteries with thread, and crafting candles using measuring wicks.

Class Fee: $180.00

All sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.

Boxes of them were together with more mundane meeting minutes and anniversary journals of that immigrant mutual aid society.
