Workshops at PantheaCon 2017
Are you going to PantheaCon in San Jose this year? If so, you can join me for two workshops on Sunday, February 19!
The first one is “Working with Difficult Gods” on Sunday at 3:30 PM in the Silicon Valley room. Working with the Gods is not all hearts and rainbows. Every deity, no matter how bright, has a dark side. Some of us choose (or are chosen) to work with Gods who are Themselves difficult and demanding, and additionally are perceived as “bad” choices by others in our community. The Gods are not fluffy bunny friends; They are strong and fierce, and we must be strong and fierce in our devotion to Them. We’ll talk about balancing devotion with practical considerations, and how to handle people who think it’s their duty to inform you of the error of your ways. This workshop is new this year, so you will be the first to hear it!
The second workshop is a an updated and expanded version of “The Futhark and Beyond!“, which I presented at last year’s conference. This workshop will be at 9:00 PM in the Boardroom. If you are familiar with the Norse Runes, you know the 24 Runes of the Elder Futhark. Beyond that, there are the Younger Futhorc, the Anglo-Saxon Runes, and the Northumbrian Runes. Also, there are some random medieval Runes designated for magical purposes! Suddenly, we have 41 magical symbols to work with—which also conveniently spell words that can be used to create further magic! We’ll mention a few other systems, such as the Gothic Runes. Come venture with me through the Aetts and meet the Runes old and new—or would that be old and older? There are several Rune workshops this year, but mine is the only one which covers all 41 Runes!
I also have cool badge ribbons to hand out, in case you need additional incentive to attend!
See you Sunday!
