{IN PERSON} INTRODUCTION TO ANIMAL COMMUNICATION WITH MICHAEL LANE
2024-08-10 14:00 - 18:00 (America/Denver) | RitualCravt, Ritualcravt, 7700 W 44th Ave CO, Wheat Ridge, CO, 80033, United States
Please read class description in its entirety. This for is for IN PERSON registration only.
TICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE.
Class fees are non transferable, please note that we stick to the student agreements clicked on during registration. Please ensure you are able to attend the scheduled class time.

In this beginning-level workshop, I will explain what animal communication is, how to practice it, and how you can help your companion animals and deepen your bond with them–as well as all animals–through this practice. Connecting with animals is an inborn, natural ability that we all have and have largely ‘forgotten’ because of our reliance on verbal communication. I will lead participants in two meditations where everyone will learn how to connect with two different animals so that they can actually practice it for themselves. Please wear comfortable clothes for the meditations, and bring a pen or pencil and paper or a notebook to write on. No experience is required.

Are you feeling dis-empowered? Weary of patriarchy? Having difficulties with boundaries? Indecisive and can’t find your focus?
Are you passionate about human rights? Feel drawn to solitude? In an egalitarian romantic relationship, or none at all?
Do you want to stand fully in your power?
If any of my questions resonate with you, then you may find my class on the Artemis Archetype to your benefit. I have worked with this archetype at length, initially from trauma, then by choice, and it has served me very well and still does, especially when things are tough. I published a book called The Artemis Archetype in Fiction, Film, and Television in 2016, and I’ve approached and embraced her from both an academic/intellectual standpoint as well as a deeply personal one. I can guarantee that connecting more strongly with her can change the way you think about yourself and your own resiliency. Studying her and understanding how her traits manifest in you aids you in interpreting your relationships to others, as well as your need for distance. Through stories, correspondences, poetry, and ritual suggestions, I will teach you all about Artemis and encourage you to connect with her magic.

Folk magic remedies and mediumship techniques can help us understand that a haunted space is not necessarily a bad space. Spirits who dwell in a set location can be powerful allies, even the ones who initially present as scary or “bad.” While each situation is unique, you will learn how addressing spirit activity in a physical location in a calm and patient manner generally yields better results than trying to immediately evict resident spirits. Students will learn how to assess the source of a haunting and the different types of hauntings one may encounter. Steps one can take to calm down a haunted space will be offered, as will some options for when a sterner approach is required. Lastly, Sterling will share folk remedies and recipes that have worked for her and her clients over the years. Samples of some of her favorites will be provided to all attendees.
Sterling is passionate about helping others find inspiration and guidance through tarot, communication with spirits, and old-timey folk magic.

She is particularly influenced by her practice of and studies in the Scandinavian tradition of Trolldom. Sterling’s spirit communication style is a unique blend of classic mediumship techniques, folk magic, and paranormal investigation strategies.

“Life is hard. It’ll leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred”
-Curtis Jackson
When painful experiences leave their marks in our lives and those of our loved ones, magic is one of the tools we can turn to for emotional, physical, and mental healing. The tradition of hoodoo & rootwork offers many methods to restore our vital life force. Whether it be the scars we can see or those hidden deep inside, a true healer will be able to address them all with confidence and apply magic to create relief.
From candle magic to sacred spiritual baths, harnessing the power of the elements and the balance of the humors, or the creation of poppets and dolls to ease pain and heal distress, this class will provide a comprehensive overview of healing magic in theory and in practice.
Healing and curative magic is one of the foundations of our sacred tradition of hoodoo & Southern conjure. This class will draw on our extensive knowledge received through oral teaching from our elders as well as our hands-on experience working healing magic for clients.
The human spirit possesses an astounding power to heal even the greatest of ailments when willpower meets solid magical technique.
“Heal me and I shall be healed, save me and I shall be saved” -Jeremiah 17:14

{IN PERSON SERIES} QUINTESSENTIAL TAROT-a five session series
2024-09-22 14:00 - 16:00
Please read class description in its entirety. This for is for IN PERSON registration only.
TICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE.
Class fees are non transferable, please note that we stick to the student agreements clicked on during registration. Please ensure you are able to attend the scheduled class time.
Begins September 22 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm (and then the next four Sundays, through Oct. 20)
Q: How can I plan for a future that’s unknown?
A: By knowing – by having more information!
The Tarot is a tool to illuminate our personal road maps. It overlaps many other disciplines, all expressed here though art. Specifically, this is art that delivers practical information wrapping in a sensory visual experience. As we craft an ever-stronger working alliance with the cards, magic happens.
We’ll begin with a thorough Tarot orientation:
The first session explores the Minor Arcana via the elements;
the next will cover the Court Cards, for identity and connection;
and in the third week, we’ll get into myths and archetypes with the Major Arcana.
Then we’ll take this material into alliance-deepening personal work in session 4;
with the final session focused on reading the Tarot for ourselves and for others, and on using the cards for maximum personal creativity and well-being.
This series is for beginners and beyond. Please allow for spending some time each week on personal practice between class sessions.
Please bring: — Note-taking materials — A fully illustrated tarot deck, i.e. instead of simply seeing three Cups, you’ll see people/beings interacting with three Cups. I recommend the Smith-Waite tarot deck (aka Rider-Waite-Smith, RWS), or a deck derived from it. Ritualcravt carries several different versions, and I’ll have loaner decks on hand the first night, so you can see several before making your own choice.
Fee: $175. Every session of the course includes:
— Extensive handout pages
— Hands-on practice with readings and exercises

When Guillermo del Toro pitched The Devil’s Backbone, he said, “I want to do a film about some kids in an orphanage during the Spanish Civil War–and oh yeah, one of them’s dead.” Years later, in the film Pan’s Labyrinth, we hear a voice-over open the film by describing a young girl who came from another world, suffered in this one, then died. Though their lives are tragically ephemeral, these children form the moral and symbolic centers of each story and teach us about the immense power of magic.
Many do not know these films are connected, in that del Toro sees Pan’s Labryinth as a sequel to The Devil’s Backbone, but they are deeply entwined, through time period, historical events, politics, child protagonists, life vs. death, “fairy” godparent figures, themes, and even elements of the cinematography, with imagery and sets designed to create mirror imagery from one film to the other. Join me for a very thorough look at these two films and learn more about each of them both separately and linked together; discover deeper symbolism, meanings, and develop even more appreciation for the genius that is Guillermo del Toro.

Q: How can I plan for a future that’s unknown?
A: By knowing – by having more information!
The Tarot is a tool to illuminate our personal road maps. It overlaps many other disciplines, all expressed here though art. Specifically, this is art that delivers practical information wrapping in a sensory visual experience. As we craft an ever-stronger working alliance with the cards, magic happens.
We’ll begin with thorough orientations:
the Minor Arcana via the elements (Week 1)
the Court Cards for identity and connection (Week 2)
the Major Arcana with myths and archetypes (Week 3)
and then take this material into
alliance-deepening personal work (Week 4)
reading the Tarot for yourself and for others, and for maximum personal creativity and well-being (Week 5).
This series is for beginners and beyond. Please allow for spending some time each week on personal practice between class sessions.
Please bring: — Note-taking materials — A fully illustrated tarot deck, i.e. instead of simply seeing three Cups, you’ll see people/beings interacting with three Cups. I recommend the Smith-Waite tarot deck (aka Rider-Waite-Smith, RWS), or a deck derived from it. Ritualcravt carries several different versions, and I’ll have loaner decks on hand the first night, so you can see several before making your own choice.
Fee: $175. Every session of the course includes:
— Extensive handout pages
— Hands-on practice with readings and exercises

“Death is the thread that we all have in common, no matter who you are, your age, your race or your material or finical status in life, we are all one day going to die. And, it’s ok to die because Death is just as natural as our birth and we were born to do it.
Join Death Doula & Midwife Carla Torres-Davis in a very human and real discussion on Death and Dying. This discussion gathers every 1st Sunday morning of each month. Each month Carla will present different Death related topics to discuss in a community setting where we will all explore our perspectives, beliefs and philosophies around Death and Dying on a personal, Cultural and Societal level. The intention of each Death Discussion is to face our own mortality as a community, to help normalize that topic of death and dying for ourselves, our loved ones and our communities. Within this space we are able to bring Death out of the shadows and into the forefront of our minds in hope to change they we look at and handle Death. These discussions have the potential to open doorways of living a more meaningful and conscious life and they can help with one’s own grief around their own personal experience regarding Death. Lastly, they can help with planting the seeds in thinking about your own plans for your own end of life experience and so much more!
“We can harness the awareness of death to appreciate the fact that we are alive, to encourage self-exploration, to clarify our values, to find meaning, and to generate positive action. It is the impermanence of life that gives us perspective. As we come in contact with life’s precarious nature, we also come to appreciate its preciousness. Then we don’t want to waste a minute. We want to enter our lives fully and use them in a responsible way. Death is a good companion on the road to living well and dying without regret.” – Quote from the Five Invitations”

If you are interested in exploring spiritually active locations and seeking out paranormal experiences, this 3-hour experiential class, in-person at Ritualcravt, is for you! The first hour of class will cover the bases, while the remainder will give you the chance to practice! You’ll even receive a copy of “My Work Book: A Guided Notebook for Divination, Magic, and Spirit Communication,” created by your instructor, so you can document your experiences in class and beyond. Please bring water and a snack as breaks will be limited.
Paranormal exploration involves documenting and analyzing what can be perceived with our five primary senses, research, and experimentation. Mediumship involves using our “Clair” or psychic senses to communicate and perceive spirits in a haunted space. Putting these together can be a powerful way to understand haunted places and the spirits who inhabit them. In this class, we will discuss and practice strategies that incorporate all the senses, suggestions for how to document and analyze the information you perceive, resources for research and finding historical information, and some fun experiments using both everyday affordable items and higher-end “ghost hunting” gadgets.
