Craft Your Own Book of Shadows Workshop

A book of shadows, also known as a Grimoire, is a place where a Witch keeps records of their research, spells, rituals, recipes, meditations, thoughts and other magickal secrets. This can be created from any kind of book you like, from a simple note book to something more elaborate with leather binding. It is up to you and is a very personal thing! You can decorate your book of shadows however you like. It all depends upon your taste and available time for the task. Some keep them very simple, some create beautiful meaningful covers but keep the inside plain, and others use elaborate decorations inside and out! The beauty is that it is up to you! The process of starting your own book of shadows can be daunting by yourself, so this short course will give you all the guidance and tools you need to start the process with confidence. Together we will discuss the options for your personal book of shadows, make suggestions of what it may contain or what you might do for the cover. Then you will be given a book plus many decorations to choose from to create the perfect cover that represents you and begin to create a magickal interior that you love and can continue to build on and work with!

Topics Covered in Book of Shadows workshop:
**Discus what is commonly put in a book of shadows and on the cover and meanings behind them
**Decorate your very own Book Of Shadows with a wide selection of decorations to choose from including charms, feathers, ribbons, crystal chips, stamps, stickers and more
**You can choose to perform a small ritual to cleanse and bless your Book Of Shadows once its completed or take home the information to do yourself privately

Healing the Shadow Self Ritual

Connect with Lord Shiva, his powers, and his blessings to clear away ego attachments and heal the shadow aspects of the self, allowing us to be reborn, healed, and renewed. Lord Shiva is the prefect Divine Energy to assist us in releasing those aspects of the shadow self and ego that cause us to suffer. Through Lord Shiva’s Dance, we learn to release and clear negativity with grace and ease, taking advantage of the fact that all things change, so all things can be cleared, healed and made anew.

This ceremony takes elements from both the Buddhist and Vedic (yogic) carnal ground practises. Lord Shiva is invoked for his guidance and energy of destruction and renewal.

Lord Shiva has a special connection to meditation practises which aid in controlling and clearing the ill-effects of the uncontrolled ego. Your uncontrolled ego is the only thing that prevents you from attaining greatness. It is your uncontrolled ego that comes between your goals and your dreams, and makes you a less loving person. It is said that Lord Shiva carries his trishul (trident) to keep his ego in check. Lord Shiva never lets his ego get the better of himself. On the other hand, nor does Lord Shiva tolerate anyone else’s ego causing harm.

Lord Shiva is the prefect Divine Energy to assist us in releasing those aspects of the shadow self and ego that cause us to suffer. Through Lord Shiva’s Dance, we learn to release and clear negativity with grace and ease, taking advantage of the fact that all things change, so all things can be cleared, healed and made anew.

During this ceremony we will connect with Lord Shiva powers and blessings to clear away ego attachments and heal the shadow aspects of the self, allowing us to be reborn; healed and renewed. This ceremony is worked on the floor and works with connecting the earth element for grounding.

This ritual is capped at a maximum of 15 attendees and runs for approximately 90 minutes in total. It is held once a year.

Public Statement: Christchurch Attacks

The Pagan Collective of Victoria join our voices with those of spiritual and religious organisations around the world, in condemning the abhorrent acts of terrorism in Christchurch, and in offering our love and support to the Muslim communities in Christchurch and worldwide, affected not just by this horrific and tragic act of violence, but also by the daily onslaughts of bigotry and prejudice they endure.

We see you. We grieve with you. We are so sorry.

This attack did not occur in a vacuum; vilification of Muslims and people deemed “other” has increasingly become a political staple and a sad and shameful part of our society, and we do not accept it. We stand against hate speech, bigotry, violence, and divisiveness in our community. We may have different paths, and different gods, but we share a common humanity, and we are committed to a community in which compassion and understanding are paramount.

We, and our representatives in the Victorian Heathen community, abjure the use of Heathen imagery by these terrorists in justifying unjustifiable acts. The hijacking of sacred iconography to attempt to validate heinous acts of hatred and cowardly violence is deplorable and in absolute opposition to both our spiritual and social ethos.

You should have been able to pray in peace. You should be able to live in peace. There are people who should be here today, who are not, because of prejudice and hatred.

To the fallen, the injured, and their families, friends, and communities, we offer our deepest condolences and sorrow. We join our prayers, our wishes, and our actions, with those of everyone striving for a better world, who know we can be better than this.

Peace be with you. Peace be with us all.
