Mother Spell Workshop & Registration

Confronted by the grotesque horrors of end-stage patriarchal violence, many of us are triggered, overwhelmed, and terrified. What can we possibly do in the presence of ever-more depraved atrocities against our sisters, our daughters, and ourselves? To bear witness to the true state of the human world we will need all of the succor and solace of our deepest spiritual guides—our mothers and grandmothers, incarnations without end, who have seen it all, remember it all, and can help us envision a way forward for our species and our earth.

Together we will give voice to our fears and our furies while circling ourselves with the protection and care of all kinds of souls who are ready to stand with us. We will meet our grandmothers from before the catastrophes of empire, our mothers who endured its worst terrors within it, and with the help of these mothers and grandmothers, become seers together who can channel a different possible future beyond it. We will create spells together, along with personal rituals and ceremonies, for holding our grief, claiming our joy, and giving birth to impossible miracles.

Participants will be invited to share their spells at the online publishing party in May for Perdita’s next book Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors.
