Paganicon 2025 Presentation: Facing our Fate - Through the Wisdom of the Tarot

The Wheel of Fortune card from the tarot is often called, “the wheel of becoming.” This card often forces us to face the existential dilemma: do we control our own fate?

Discover what manifestation has to do with tarot. How can tarot facilitate a deeper sense of acceptance, grace and power in our lives? Learn about Jupiter’s influence in the Wheel of Fortune, experience a brief guided visualization to deepen your relationship with the tarot, and learn a powerful tarot spread for guiding your future.

2 SPOTS LEFT -Ancestral Healing Immersion
Mar
9
10:00 AM10:00

2 SPOTS LEFT -Ancestral Healing Immersion

ANCESTRAL RITUAL HEALING IMMERSION***

 Ancestral healing refers to a type of spiritual healing that acknowledges that there are traces of trauma within the body and psyche that the person did not experience directly, but were passed down or inherited (epigenetics). It is an energetic system that often goes unaddressed, and can bring feelings of malaise and disconnect from the authentic expression of the self.

The actual healing requires acknowledgment, intention to heal, and moving the energy. It is a process in which you connect to an Ancestor that experienced the trauma directly and you agree to be the living nexus to release this trauma for them and for yourself.

We can metabolize, harness, and release patterns of systemic lineage trauma through being in right relationship with healthy blood and bone ancestors available and willing to assist. We become the conduits for deep lineage trauma release through healing rituals rooted in nature-based practices (mine are rooted in celtic shamanism, folk magick, and witchcraft). The rituals establish a language to ignite the healing release. Results are seen and experienced sometimes immediately and more often over time.

Join in a welcoming and nurturing environment for learning, exploration, connection and support.

DURING THIS IMMERSION:
- Learn about ancestral veneration, ancestral trauma, and identify at least one personal pattern for healing practice.
- Set up a community ancestor altar for celebration and meditation.
- Experience ritual practices for addressing and releasing embedded ancestral trauma.
- Discover storytelling as an avenue for whole lineage healing.

WHEN: Sunday, March 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
WHERE: Location TBA upon registration.

COST: $175 per person for the immersion.
(There is an additional $125 fee for those who wish to meet with Chanda between February 6 and March 6 to receive a one-hour one-on-one astrological reading revealing patterns of ancestral trauma in your own personal chart.)

INCLUDES: instruction, supplies, and light lunch plus tea/coffee and water bar.

*Upon registration, you’ll be sent a brief questionnaire/interview. Please fill out and return asap. This will be the initial exercise in preparation for the immersion.

**If this event is postponed due to inclement weather or illness, your fee will be held for a future rescheduled date. There are no refunds once registered, but you are free to transfer your registration to someone else in the event you cannot attend.

FOR QUESTIONS: please email chandaparkinson@yahoo.com

Meditations for the Tarot - Witchcon 2025 Presentation
Feb
9
9:00 AM09:00

Meditations for the Tarot - Witchcon 2025 Presentation

Join Chanda at Witchcon 2025 (A Virtual Online Conference) in the Veiled Sanctum Room - for an exhilarating exploration of the tarot and meditation techniques to more deeply align with the cards.

Meditation and Tarot are wonderful co-conspirators for inner awareness and change. There is a depth of connection and intimacy with our cards that is available to us all. Tarot, the poetry of the soul and the song lyrics of the cosmos, is wonderfully facilitated by moving beyond our left-brained rote memorized versions of the cards into building a deeply transpersonal relationship with them.

We will take a profoundly animistic approach to the cards in this presentation, going in with the assumption they are living and breathing allies and guides filled with wisdom who are interested in revealing deeper truths about ourselves and the world.

The cards come to life as guides and allies in this exploratory class.

  • First, explore aspects of the human condition and mythological figures associated with the Major Arcana.

  • Next, secure your personal card for 2025 and engage in a meditation technique to understand its message for you.

  • After that, connect through guided meditation with the elements of the Tarot to ignite deeper intimacy with your deck.

  • Finally, experience a meditation journey through the Major Arcana and bring back wisdom and healing guidance for your current life path.

Registration fee is $95 and that gives you access to all of the presentations for the weekend. Ticket sales end February 9, 2025.

*(Chanda is not not responsible for registration for this presentation or event. Please contact the Witchcon if you need assistance.)
