Crossroads, haints, grandma’s prayers, Southern Folk Magic is more than Bible prayers and kitchen remedies. This living tradition involves resilience, healing, and everyday wisdom passed on from family to family. During this class, we will see the connections of African, Indigenous, and European influences that make up this spiritual practice, look at common tools and herbal material used, and at the end of class, we will learn how to set up your altar through the lens of Southern Folk Magic.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Gabriel Varzalyi-Lopez is a biracial Virginia-born folk practitioner, a devotee to his ancestors, spirits of nature, and the God and Goddess of his mother and father. He is a seer, diviner, spiritual medium, and conjurer trained in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans. While being dedicated to his spiritual work for over a decade, while also assisting the community in his legal profession through his daily life, Gabriel sees the balance that both the spiritual world and material world have in the progression of someone’s life. Born from a lineage of witches, orthodox priests, farmers, artists, and at times rebellious characters, he understands the process by which messages are received from Spirit, allowing for a different type of magical work to occur. Gabriel is also a writer for Witches Magazine under his mundane alias, an independent magazine based in the United Kingdom. An adventurous spirit, Gabriel feels and hears the call of spirit through winding southern brooks and on high mountain peaks, observing the simple magics that each of us cherishes in our everyday lives.

We are holding a monthly gathering for those who wish to work on their crafts (knitting, crocheting, stitching, jewelry-making, writing, drawing, you name it!) in the shared space of a zoom call. We are seeking self-care, community, and creative expression in a group that will welcome and encourage conversation and connection, though there is no requirement to speak or to even have your screen on if you’d rather be anonymous and just “be” with us!
Let’s face it, our world demands constant productivity often for the sake of others. I often think that we are led to believe “how can we craft at a time like this?” But this is precisely the moment to engage in what makes us feel happy and at peace. We will reclaim the energy and beauty of crafting for the sake of personal fulfillment and relaxation. All skill levels and craft mediums are welcome in these gatherings that will be like book clubs, but for crafts. We will set a theme for each session so you can consider it or even journal on it before attending, and in our meetings, you will have an opportunity to share with others, if you choose, while I will facilitate. Note that these are not lectures or classes but more like free-form meetings in a safe space, with 3 price levels so you can choose what works best for you economically.
February: When I look at things like the color of the year (ugh) and the disappearance of truly
interesting architecture, I find it pretty depressing! So let’s discuss the importance of crafts
through history and reflect on what kinds of things we see “disappearing” in terms of technique and skill. What can any of us do to keep art alive and thriving?

{VIRTUAL} Persephone: Innocence, Experience, and Self-Healing

We have been through a lot as a collective in the past several years, so I think we need a breath of hope: Persephone is needed now more than ever.
Persephone, the dual-natured goddess, represents both the innocent maiden and the experienced queen of the underworld. Her archetype is often connected with those who have undergone trauma and found a way to rise above it, becoming stronger and more resilient. But sometimes we are triggered into the realization of how our innocence has been irrevocably harmed, and our wounds, though healed over, still reside deep within us. Through them we can be dragged back into periods of overwhelming anxiety and depression.
What I would like to offer is a way to make those two sometimes dueling sides of our natures meet and collaborate to make us whole. I want to help you cultivate a way to connect with that innocent maiden side and find its enormous power so that being pulled away from your tough-as-nails dark goddess of the underworld energy doesn’t break you down, but instead re-invigorates you.
In this class, I’ll cover aspects of the dual natures of the Persephone archetype, apply that knowledge and understanding to our own experiences of lost innocence and cultivated experience, and suggest ways we can reframe our connections with our “pre-trauma” selves that will empower us. Suggestions for Persephone-specific rituals and altar offerings will also be given. Class will be taught from a trauma-informed perspective.

A lot of people say February is a difficult month which exists in a liminal space of listlessness or depression. I would love to help you reframe this month by focusing on Hestia, a goddess of hearth (which is Latin for focus) and home, who cultivates wisdom and periods of connection with others on a similar path.
Hestia and Vesta, her Roman counterpart, are symbolized in the flame, dancing in the center of the home or other spiritual place. Learning about her and her archetype can provide you with the tools to make February be a month where you focus on what you need around you to feel as secure and safe as possible. We will focus on what is integral in your mind and body, what resonates as most meaningful, and use these touchstones as a guide to curate your own personal safe space, which protects you and makes you feel whole. Hestia can teach us how to slow down, to mindfully and meditatively complete our tasks. Furthermore, a connection with her archetype can make us aware of those in the collective who are like-minded, and help us practice discernment in choosing those we form a deep connection with, in person or over the
miles.
Class will be taught from a trauma-informed perspective and offer breathwork and visualization exercises, ritual suggestions, and meditative practices.
