This online class will begin with a look at Saint Expedite from a historical basis, i.e., what we know vs. what we don’t really know and where there is variation from tradition to tradition. There will be brief coverage of the various related traditions worldwide and how Expedite is called and utilized before we move on to the traditions most familiar within the United States as they relate to New Orleans Voudo, conjure, the deep south, and to a much lesser extent Appalachia. Attention will be paid, of course, to the decidedly Christian origins of Saint Expedite, though students will be encouraged to see beyond that limitation. Care will be placed to limit the amount of Christianity used, where appropriate, in an effort to encourage those who might avoid the power of the Saints due to trauma surrounding organized religion, abuse, and the church’s misuse of sacred power. This will set the foundation for the practicum, where students will learn about altars, offerings, statues and prayer cards, incense, oils, candles, prayers, devotions, novenas, spells, talismans, and the materia magicka associated with Saint Expedite. This two hour workshop aims to deliver the student not only the information needed to begin to work with Saint Expedite but the confidence to approach him immediately and begin a beneficial magickal relationship as soon as they get home!
