The Eight Paths of Witchcraft

This adult oriented workshop will discuss the Eight Paths as laid out by those descended from Gerald Gardner, such as the Farrars and Alex Sanders. Of particular focus will be how the Eight Paths can be used to develop magickal talents, and touch the face of one's god/dess, as well as the pitfalls inherent within each of the paths. Due to the subject matter, this workshop is limited to those age 18 and above. Presence at this workshop will be considered an affirmative personal statement of legal age.
Join us in celebrating Lammas, the first harvest festival, honoring the turning of the Wheel and the gifts of the Earth. This year’s ritual will be led by the CUUPS chapter of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Binghamton, bringing their unique spirit of inclusivity, reverence, and community connection.

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a time to give thanks for what has grown, in the fields and within ourselves. Together, we will reflect on the seeds we have planted, the work we have undertaken, and the abundance now beginning to take form. Through shared ritual, we honor the cycles of effort, sacrifice, and reward that sustain us.
​
All are welcome to participate in this celebration of gratitude, growth, and the first fruits of the season.

Soul Retrieval for Sin-Eaters

Within Celtic history, the ritual of Sin-Eating was performed by tribal members who would "eat" the energetic residue of the community's pain, disappointment, power struggles, malicious behavior, and misalignment in order to return the community to "right relationship." This increased the health of the community, the sharing of resources, and the ability to survive hardship. This ritual was also performed for the recently dead to help prepare their Soul for the Otherworlds. Throughout the centuries, this ritual has continued, although it has been twisted and misappropriated in modern times. Join Rev Monika Coyote in a Soul Retrieval ritual for all members of the pagan community who have been forced to swallow the sins of others without consent, leading to complex trauma and soul loss.

Better Divination: Asking The Right Questions, Designing Effective Layouts, and Strengthening Your Connection

Divination is a rich field within modern Pagan and Occult practice with an almost endless potential for variation and exploration. As with all the magical arts, there are best practices for getting the most accurate and useful information from your divinatory system.

Heathens against Hate Workshop

Heathens Against Hate has been around for over 15 years. We have spoken at the Parliament of the World's Religions and worked with ADL Philadelphia and the SPLC on shared concerns, like the misuse of sacred Germanic symbols by alt-right elements within Heathenry. Our faith has been heavily infiltrated and our imagery co-opted by white supremacists. It's not enough to say "we're not like that." We need to fight back and show there is no place for fascism or white supremacy in our faith.
​
The Heathen community spans every walk of life: race, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, class, politics, and religious background. That diversity is a beautiful thing. As practitioners of an animist faith that recognizes the interconnectedness of all things, we know no one is free when others are oppressed. We stand in solidarity with people of all races, sexualities, gender identities, nationalities, religions, and ethnicities.
