The Black Moon & Serpent
A weekend of Dark Feminine Mysteries with Aepril Schaile
Hosted by the Irish Order of Thelema and Craobh Rua Community Space
Feb 16-17 2019, Conway Mill, 5-7 Conway St, Belfast, UK, BT13 2DE
Saturday Feb 16 11-5: The Serpent:
Bellydance Magick and Mysticism
11- 5 (includes lunch, breaks)
The bellydancer is animated with ancient powers that shapeshift through halls of time, connecting to the archetype and image of the temple priestess. Through the serpentine glamour of the dance undulates a current of witchcraft; an active, engaged relationship to Nature, Time, Energy, and Power. In this workshop we work with this dance form as a potential path to feminine gnosis, aka the ineffable and direct experience of the Self/Divinity received via the body. We will explore its power as a magickal technology and embodied Practice through form and technique, moving meditation, ritual and discussion of history and context. All level of experience and genders encouraged and welcome. Please wear something comfortable to move in and bring a yoga mat if you have one.
Performance by Aepril at the end.
Sunday Feb 17: The Black Moon:
Lilith and the Dark Goddess in Astrology and Magick
11-4pm (includes lunch, breaks)
Lilith is a shapeshifter. She is the Flame of the Revolving Sword, the Dancer in the Forest and the Storm. She is the Queen and the Exile. She is a spirit, a godform, and the place within where our most uncompromising authentic nature resides. She is the power of the Witch.
Black Moon Lilith in the astrological chart indicates a portal through which we may experience fear and longing, scapegoating, or rejection. Yet she is a call for radical self-acceptance and deep intiamcy. She is the shamanic feminine, and holds a key to great healing and creative forces. She is the exiled Shakti energy; she shows us how to experience our coiled serpentine life force energies and awaken.
In this presentation we will learn more about:
-Black Moon Lilith in astrology: houses, signs, True and Mean BML.
-Lilith in mythology (and Her connections to other branches of the dark Feminine such as the Morrigan, Babalon, and the Black Madonna)
-Lilith in ancient and modern magick
Bring a copy of your astrological chart with Black Moon Lilith (printed or phone/tablet). Astro.com is free. Also, wear something comfortable to move in.
