Fire Ceremonies have been used by medicine people for thousands of years to dissolve stuck energy and transform life depleting patterns. In August we are blessed with two full moons! The first of the August full moons is known as the Sturgeon Moon because Algonquin tribes fished for sturgeon in August and these fish were an important part of the tribes’ survival. This month brings the Lion’s Gate which occurs on August 8th . During the Lions Gate the star Sirius comes into alignment with Earth and the Sun exerting its influence from its ruling sign of Leo. The day is considered a window, or portal, into enhanced awareness that lies beyond our usual perception. Join Zhana Levitsky, Owner of Folk Magic as she ushers you through a shamanic journey to connect with your power animals and garner insights meant for you to help you on your spiritual journey.
What to Bring: A chair or blanket to sit on, a sweatshirt or jacket as it may be cooler by the water, bug spray, a journal and pen. Refreshments and snacks will be served and marshmallows will be available for roasting after the ceremony.
Instructor Bio: Zhana (she/her & we/us) is an initiated high priestess of the Cabot tradition of witchcraft in Salem Massachusetts, a master of Reiki Shamanism™, a master teacher in the Usui Ryoho Shiki Reiki tradition, founder of Coven of the Sun and a certified facilitator of the mythopoetic approach contained in "Women Who Run With The Wolves" by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes and the Archetypal & Cross-Cultural Studies Institute. Zhana brings over 20 years of intentional witchcraft studies & embracing the magic lifestyle into her work. She has been a public, “out of the broom closet” witch since taking her first occult job at 19 years old at The Cat The Crow & The Crown in Salem’s Pickering Wharf in the early aughts. Since then, she’s matured and focused as community leader, entrepreneur and folk ritual maker with launching intentional businesses: Zeitgeist Gallery and Yes Art Space in Beverly, Yes Wolf Spirit in Rockport Ma and Witchx online. Folk Magic is now her online nexus and home. Zhana co-founded Tarot Salon in Salem, Mass which ran 1x month for 78 consecutive months at Hauswitch Home & Healing. Tarot Salon concluded in this form late March 2023 (and will pop up in another form elsewhere soon!). She shares her vision by way of tarot reading and education, coaching and mentoring, and public monthly moon circles both in person and online. A forever student and voracious reader, she is still studying and learning new skills. She has been actively teaching witchcraft and varied occult topics since 2016. Zhana respects the preciousness of individual identity and is aligned with causes granting dignity to all living things. She views healing as process and holding sacred space for others to open into their authenticity is at the heart of her work. Zhana is the creator of FOLK MAGIC and holds an ALM in Literature from Harvard University. For more information about Zhana’s teachings you may visit her website at: https://www.folkmagic.org/about.
