YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Andrea’s fascination with reading cards began from a young age after being introduced to the Smith-Waite Tarot. From then on, she began to explore different methods of divination and fell in love with Lenormand, a system of cartomancy originating in late 18th century Europe. Andrea’s style of reading cards could be described as pragmatic and deeply rooted in tradition, influenced by a true reverence for the sibyls of the past.
As a teacher, Andrea has both an academic and scholarly approach to the way that she presents her classes as well as sharing from her experiences and gnosis as a professional reader. She considers the Tarot to be a book of esoteric mysteries and has spent years of her life in studying and peeling back its many layers to share the knowledge and wisdom embedded in every card.

{VIRTUAL} Monthly Magical Craftivists!
2025-11-05 18:30 - 20:00 | Virtual
PLEASE READ: VIRTUAL ZOOM CLASSES OPERATE AS LIVE CLASSES ONLY, WE DO NOT RECORD TO PROTECT THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF OUR TEACHERS. This class is not an in-person class, it is a live, online only offering. Your zoom link will be attached to your ticket. Please also check your junk, spam and promotions folders in your email for your ticket. Email learn@ritualcravt.com with any questions. Classes are in MDT time zone.

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.
November’s Theme:
Crafting Identities: think about all the various types of crafts you’ve engaged in and how they relate to various parts of your personal identity. Have you noticed any patterns in your life in terms of when you began to engage in different crafts and what was going on in your personal life? How much does your work with your craft(s) stand out as a major part of who you are?

Ancestral Magic is a two-part class formulated to supplement and expand on ideas within “Ancestral Magic” (2025), including sharing more in-depth experiences that Frankie has experienced in their reconnective journey, folk magic and tradition as a method of reconnective work, accountability in community, and learning about culture and ancestors from an Italian-American viewpoint.
When we reconnect, we have to center accountability in reconnection. What does it look like to remove problematic traditions and rituals and engage with them in a new way? What does it mean to establish community, find teachers and respectfully approaching cultures you aren’t a part of? What are the red flags as we build and find community, and how can we be a better ancestor moving forward? While our first class looks at the beginning steps of reconnection, Part 2 builds upon the ideas of ancestral magic and work through the lens of a reconstruction, respect, and understanding our relation to not just diasporic culture and community, but ancestral culture and community.
PART 1: Ancestral Magic: Reconnection & Learning from the Folk, Nov. 8, 6:30-8-30pm
What is reconnection? Why do we reconnect? This class explores what reconnection to community, ancestors, and more mean through various methods including exploration of homeland and diaspora, learning from the folk and folk magic, ancestral veneration and different sets of ancestors, connecting to other ancestral spirits and embodying your ancestral practice. This workshop focuses on foundational aspects of an ancestral and reconnective practice, exploring working with ancestral allies, making space for ancestors in your practice, and building altars.
Part 2: Ancestral Magic: Accountability and Learning from the Folk, Nov. 22, 6:30-8:30pm
When we reconnect, we have to center accountability in reconnection. What does it look like to remove problematic traditions and rituals and engage with them in a new way?

{VIRTUAL} Witches and Wise Women in Fairy Tales

Those familiar with classic fairy tales are well aware of the kinds of roles witches have played. In fact, fairy tale critic Maria Tatar in The Hard Facts of the Grimms Fairy Tales explains that the Grimms’ tales feature 3 distinct types of “ogres”: “beasts and monsters”, “social deviants”, and “women”, with women (perhaps unsurprisingly) making up the largest category. In this group are witches and wise women, mothers’-in-law, and stepmothers, all of whom walk a supposedly villainous path and are cast as so-called “evil” characters. However, contemporary fairy tale writers have deconstructed this pattern. This class will offer a sampling of modern-day witches and wise women in fairy tales by introducing participants to stories that feature witches in more complex, nuanced, and powerful roles. Learn all about how these depictions reinforce the immense self-sufficiency and resiliency of matriarchy.
Those interested in and/or taking the class should reach out to the instructor (susanredingtonbobby@professorofwords.com) to get a list of links of literary works so they have time to read them before attending. The class will cover a brief history of the classic fairy tale witch and then move to a discussion of the changing contemporary views, with time available for discussion of the works provided.

Did you know that there are other methods of card Divination beyond the Tarot? In this class, we delve into the fascinating world of Lenormand cards, a 100 year old method of divination that can offer unique insight into our lives and the future. Named after the renowned 18th-century French fortune-teller, Madame Marie Anne Lenormand, these cards provide a distinct approach to gaining clarity and guidance. Throughout this class, we will explore the history, symbolism, as well as methods to help you begin reading Lenormand Cards right away!
YOU WILL LEARN:
•A Concise History of Lenormand Cards
•Understanding the symbolism of the cards and how they differ from other methods of card reading.
•Basic layout and spreads including an introduction to the Grand Tableau.
•How to build a daily practice with Lenormand cards to help launch your journey with this underrated and amazing system of card divination.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Andrea’s fascination with reading cards began from a young age after being introduced to the Smith-Waite Tarot. From then on, she began to explore different methods of divination and fell in love with Lenormand, a system of cartomancy originating in late 18th century Europe. Andrea’s style of reading cards could be described as pragmatic and deeply rooted in tradition, influenced by a true reverence for the sibyls of the past.
As a teacher, Andrea has both an academic and scholarly approach to the way that she presents her classes as well as sharing from her experiences and gnosis as a professional reader. She considers the Tarot to be a book of esoteric mysteries and has spent years of her life in studying and peeling back its many layers to share the knowledge and wisdom embedded in every card.

With the prevalence of the Smith-Waite tarot deck, many of us have only met Tarot’s astrology associations through the lens of its Golden Dawn origins, even if we aren’t using that deck.
Surprise! In fact, through the centuries, tarot-astro connections have wandered throughout the sky, pairing the planets and constellations in completely different ways. We’ll look at several key decks-of-old – Etteilla, Wirth, Falconnier, and Picard – for unique astro-associations, perspectives, insights and knowledge in each. An awareness of these roots helps deepen our capacity to bring sky-knowledge down to earth, enriching our own wise tarot-usage.

Especially if you’ve puzzled over the Smith-Waite/Golden Dawn’s astrology, or found you just don’t resonate with it, please join me. The sky is wide open!

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.
December’s Theme:
Crafts as Spellwork: think about whether you have connected your craft(s) with spellwork or ritual in the past. Has it been effective for you? If you have not connected your craft(s) with spellwork or ritual, would you like to, and what might be some ways you might go about doing that? Do you think your craft(s) aligns better with one particular type of spell or is it malleable?

Alongside the summer ancestor festival of Obon, Oshogatsu is one of the most sacred of Japanese animist and magical traditions. During the Japanese New Year, we welcome Toshigami into our homes. Traditions vary as to whether Toshigami is the kami of the New Year, grain or our collective ancestors, but the principle remains that we must prepare our homes for their arrival. In this hybrid class, we will cover the history of this sacred holiday and the rituals associated with it, including cleansing and purifying, cord cutting, sacred decor, traditional foods, and the closing of the spiritual container that is held during this time. This class will include a small tasting of osechi ryori (New Years dishes). For those especially sensitive, the dishes will be separated to not cross-contaminate allergens. Allergens: fish, shellfish, soy, kelp, egg, chestnuts, legumes.

Kindling Light in the Darkest Night
At Yule, the longest night gives birth to the returning sun. It is a time of renewal, hearth magic, and weaving warmth into the coldest days. In this class, we’ll explore how to bring Yule’s ancient enchantments into your everyday life—so your routines and rituals glow with power all season long.
Together, we’ll work with spells of light and protection, charms for prosperity and blessing, and simple practices that anchor the turning of the wheel into your home and daily rhythms. From simmer pots and candle magic to household altars and seasonal offerings, you’ll learn how to turn ordinary moments into sacred acts of witchcraft.
This is magic that sustains—practical, soulful, and rooted in the spirit of Yule. Honor cycles of reflection, light, and transformation, and step into the darkness of winter with power, presence, and personal enchantment. By the end, you’ll carry the warmth, wisdom, and wonder of Yule into every day. You’ll leave with tools and rituals to carry warmth, resilience, and enchantment with you through the winter season and beyond.

The darkest days of the year are often a challenge for many of us. Even for those of us who love the cozy time of colder temperatures and sun setting earlier, with tea and books and various hobbies, the holiday season itself can ensnare us in feelings of isolation, depression, sadness, and grief, especially if there are associations with this time of year in terms of past traumas or missing those who are no longer with us to share these times. I would like to try to help people in dealing with these difficult emotions by considering the healing magic of traveling through labyrinths.
In this class, you will discover how the labyrinth serves as a symbol of the journey inward, leading us to the center of our being where we confront our shadows and emerge wiser and more self-aware. We will examine both the Cretan and Greek depictions of Ariadne and consider ways we can connect with her energy and call upon her as a guide when we are deep in shadow work. We will consider visualizations and simple prompts to help you identify a place in your life where you will benefit from “walking” a labyrinth to its center and back. I will also offer ritual suggestions, as well as practical exercises for incorporating labyrinths into your daily life for spiritual growthand healing. Class is taught from a trauma-informed perspective.

{IN PERSON} Monthly Drumming Circle for Experienced Journeyers
2025-12-20 14:00 - 16:00 | RitualCravt, Ritualcravt, 7700 W 44th Ave CO, Wheat Ridge, CO, 80033, United States
PLEASE READ: This class is IN PERSON. TICKETS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. Class fees are non transferable, we stick to the student agreements agreed upon during registration. Please ensure you are able to attend the scheduled class time.

By whatever name – trance, shamanic journeying, inner council work – if you’re already experienced and comfortable with drum-driven journey practices, please join us for ceremony, journeying, explorations, drumming, and community. Hone your skills and visit with your Guides, within a circle of like-minded, supportive humans.
Not a class, but a circle, we’ll generally have time for several journeys: first on a theme of your own choosing, then others with varying intentions, applications, and styles of working. The options for exploration are unlimited!
You’re welcome to bring:
— a drum or rattle— journaling materials
— a small blanket or yoga mat
— an “eye-curtain,” bandana or other eye-covering
— mainly, bring your own good intentions. All other items are optional.

Please take note: This is drum- and rattle-driven journeying. Please respect our policy that this gathering is not the place for sacred plant practices or any consciousness-altering substances. Your participation will be taken as your agreement to honor this policy.

Facilitated by Renna Shesso. “I’ve been guiding journey groups since 2007, and offering other styles of ceremonial gatherings for longer than that. These practices – deeply personal though they are – were born and flourished within communities – humans gathering together in united energies and intentions, through hundreds of generations, in all times and places. When we circle together, we’re a continuing part of that.”
