Because the first Sunday in August falls close to Lammas, (with its old pagan focus on the grain harvest and bread baking), I typically do something focused on The Mysteries of the Grain, which also gets us into Ancestor World connections and The Magic of Interconnectedness. So, for a simple, fun activity for this Sunday at the Triple Goddess bookstore in Okemos, I will bring out the Animal Cracker Oracle, which is a fortune telling exercise that was inspired by old Prussian ritual bread baking traditions, and uses animal symbolism for fortune-telling.
For the special card reading exploration activity, I’m bringing
along two types of oracle decks: Brian Froud’s “Faeries” Oracle, and Mason and Franklin’s “Fairy Circle” cards
to demonstrate readings that explore ancient connections with the fairy
folk. (If you happen to own one of these
decks, you are welcome to bring it along for your own use—otherwise we just
take turns with the decks I have brought, or use demonstrator decks.) We will
also do the Tarot Round Robin.
As I mentioned in the previous post, I am trying to trim the
length of these sessions so they don’t get fatiguing, and I believe the above
activities won’t run too long. As
always, these workshops are free and casual, so people can drop in and drop out
as they feel like.
