One of many ways to raise the energy of your spellwork is to write your ritual (or parts of it) in verse, but writing poetry can seem daunting. This class will focus on a few basic yet powerful poetic forms with an eye towards making the writing itself accessible and easy for a beginner. We will cover poems as short as 2-line types and a few longer forms as well as both rhyming and non-rhyming styles. You’ll get to see lots of examples and you’ll get the opportunity in the workshop to practice in a safe and supportive environment. You will leave class with some ideas and samples you can use to enhance your spellwork. Class is open to beginners to writing poetry as well as those with a little experience seeking further guidance.

Please jot down some ideas for subjects of spellwork of special interest to bring to the workshop with you. Taught by the Series Editor of Tales from Fiddler’s Green.
