How to Create Miracles

An Eight-Week
Fairy Witchcraft Course

Begins November 9, 2025

Reach Impossible Goals

The Fairy Queen and King bless me. They give me magic to accomplish “impossible” goals. Here are two examples:

1) Most bestselling authors come from moneyed families. I don’t. Most bestselling authors spend a fortune promoting their books. I didn’t. Three of my books were bestsellers.

2) My doctor said that most people with my medical condition never climb back out of bed. He added that they do nothing with the rest of their lives. I run a successful business, go out dancing, and can hike for two hours.

Those are only a few instances of Fairy Witchcraft helping me do the impossible. This course will teach you what I did.

Learn Magic that Makes Miracles

You will learn enchantments that you can apply to any goal.

Suppose the goal seems impossible, all the more reason to use these Fairy secrets. They work.

They work regardless of your situation.

**I Consistently Use the Course Material Though I Don’t Reach All My Goals**

When I cast spells for the impossible to happen, I do not achieve every goal. But I am a lot better off, in many ways: Ongoing use of the material in How to Create Miracles creates improvements in my life that are still wonderful and miraculous.

Miracles Are Not Owned by Oppressive Mainstream Clergy

The same way oppressors insist on their right to own all the land, they claim miracles as their sole property. But everyone is born with the ability to make miracles. Witchcraft helps you find that power.

Reclaim the miracles and freedom of Fairy Witchcraft.

Witch Spirituality

For centuries, my De Grandis ancestors passed down the power of Fairy Witchcraft, generation by generation. The power was not bare spells; they were shared in a matrix that made spells work. That matrix is Witch Spirituality, which is pure power.

That is the way I will share magic in How to Create Miracles. Along with special spells, you will learn wisdoms, attitudes, and other aspects of Witch Spirituality that turn the impossible into the possible.

My De Grandis ancestors,
thank you for my Fairy Witch heritage
—a lineage of the Goddess’ powers,
which are all powers.

More Magic

In addition to the spells you learn in the classes, I cast a success spell for you. I don’t have to know your heart’s desires. Nor do you: My spell helps your dreams come true, even if you don’t know what they are yet.

**The Course Is Powerful, Filled with Information, and Gentle**

How to Create Miracles is an eight-week intensive. You receive a lot of material and experience a lot of power. And it is not overwhelming. The energy is gentle. So is the speed at which we apply the lessons.

Support When You Face Challenges

Creating miracles can be challenging. I have to face my self-sabotage, be brave to take worldly action toward goals, aim high, and overcome awful circumstances. (Magic works. And we also need to take mundane action.)

The challenges do not have to be overwhelming (with exceptions I’ll mention below). In How to Create Miracles, you receive support at every step. For example, I can help you discover the worldly actions you, as a unique individual in a unique situation, might need to take toward your heart’s goals. And we will cast spells for bravery, serenity, and other inner and outer assets needed to live free.

And our work will be gentle. We will call on the Fairy King and Queen, Who have a gentle side that most people don’t know. My support will also be gentle.

There are times I feel overwhelmed, but it is not my norm. I’ll show you how I avoid them and end them quickly when they do come.

Contrary to the teachings of oppressive religious leaders, austerity is not the only route to miracles (and perhaps never leads to miracles). Instead, gentleness, loving support, and freeing your wild, fierce heart build the way. And they will happen in How to Create Miracles.

Is an Eight-Week Class Long Enough?

It is.

And it isn’t.

Here’s what I’ve observed in 45 years of teaching:

Some individuals only need one of my courses. It changes their life exactly the way they needed. And this course would give them tools to create more miracles when the eight weeks end.

However, everyone is different. If I didn’t keep learning and growing, the miracles would stop.

I want and need miracles every day. For one thing, my survival depends on them. For another, I want to continue having a magnificent happy life and making important contributions to the community. In my case, these require ongoing miracles.

For me, Witchcraft spirituality keeps unfolding. It is a path of discovery, growth, and the miraculous.

Individuals like me are likely to continue training with me.

It’s a matter of choice (that is irrelevant until perhaps long after the course).

Let’s Do This!

Self-Care: Fighting Oppression While Staying Whole

For me, it is important to fight injustice while simultaneously keeping myself whole in body, mind, and spirit. This includes pursuing my beloved goals, whether they’re financial, artistic, or otherwise.

When I stay whole, I am at the top of my game when fighting the good fight and helping other people find freedom.

The spells in How to Create Miracles are practical. They help you stay whole, reach beloved goals, and be at the top of your game. The Fairy Queen and King gift Witches with all powers, including down-to-earth enchantments.

What Is Oral Tradition?

Posted on October 9, 2025 by Francesca

What is Oral Tradition?

Oral tradition is spoken communication that conveys ideas, societal customs, and cultural underpinnings such as ancestral practices. Forms of oral tradition communications include folk tales, other lore, and poetry. There are exceptions to oral tradition being the spoken word. For example, live music can be oral tradition.

The above definition of oral tradition is the one most people will see in books and on websites. And it is a good start.

What if that’s not enough for you? What if the term oral tradition calls to you in ways that the above definition doesn’t address?

What if the words oral tradition invoke something wild and mystical for you, and you know there must be more than the common definition?

What if you sense mysteries that are never spoken, but you sense they are in oral tradition?

Perhaps you have another reason that the usual answer to “What is oral tradition?” is not enough for you.

If so, you’re in the right place. That usual and widespread definition is not enough for me.

I’ll give you a larger definition from my heart and bone marrow. I spent years analyzing what I experienced and observed and how to express all that.

Most of this post is theories I developed based on those experiences and observations. Often, the best ways to express my theories are:
* lyrical writing
* storytelling
* sharing my personal feelings
* and other approaches that are far from the usual means of communicating theories.

I put a lot of work into my theories. I take pride in that. I am also proud that my theories come from years of analysis, common sense, intuition, and trust in my emotions.

Telling a personal story is the best way to start a larger definition of oral tradition. I wrote the following in October 2011. I don’t know if I’ve shared it until now:

I get frustrated because I’m devoted to oral tradition, grew up in it, but can’t explain it—it is so foreign to our society. The Fairy Witch classes I teach and the Shamanic counseling I give are oral tradition. But I can’t get across what I do in them because it can’t be explained. It has to be experienced.

When I do talk about what happens in my classes and counseling, it sounds like promotional hype. The classes and counseling sessions are filled with amazing gifts from the Fairy King and Queen and my ancestors. So I try to explain these gifts. They can only be expressed with the passion I feel about them. No dry logic would do. I feel impelled to share these gifts because I love them and want folks to have access to their immense power. But the passion and inexplicable nature of oral tradition make my words sound like promotional hype.

But, wow, despite all that, I am jazzed! Today, I wrote some poetry and prose poetry combined that gets it across a little:

Oral Tradition

Spaces between the spoken word. Tiny gemlike emptiness that can’t be caught on paper. Places and feelings that aren’t captured by memory (unless your cells are teachable. Even then, remembrance fails, your cells need to relearn the lessons). Moments that can’t be duplicated, conveyed a second time, even by the finest performer.

People being—operative word being—together.

We gobble being up
like it is an ice cream sundae;
we each get a spoon—the moment is shared,
we have chocolate running down our chins,
we grin at each other,
even if we are joined together on the phone
instead of in person.
On the phone, we are in person
when we work in oral tradition.

The above gives a glimmer of oral tradition, but conveying a little bit of it is something. If I could describe it fully on paper, it would not be oral tradition.

How to Learn Oral Tradition

If you want to learn the oral tradition of a particular culture, here are three guidelines:

1) Sit with someone who grew up in that culture and loves it.

2) Pay attention to more than their words.

3) Choose someone who is loving to sit beside.

Let’s look more thoroughly at those guidelines:

To learn the oral tradition of a particular culture, sit with someone who grew up in that culture and who loves it. You can be with them in person, by phone, or on Zoom.

You can be with them in a class they are teaching about the culture in question. You can be with them in a class they are giving about something else. You can be with them by driving them to the grocery store.

If all a person does is lecture abstractly about their culture, you’re only learning ideas. Ideas alone do not make not oral tradition.

Not everyone loves the culture in which they were raised. Here’s a story that shows why that matters.

I grew up in a Shamanic culture. It was the culture of my family. My mother came from a centuries-old family tradition of Fairy Witchcraft. And my siblings will swear that my mother was not a Witch.

Their reaction is not exclusive to my family. I disclosed to an Indigenous American Shaman that my mom had trained me to be a Shaman. I refrained from telling him that my siblings did not recognize my mother’s Witchcraft. But he responded that his mom had trained him to be a Shaman, and that his brother insisted their mother had not been a Shaman. I was grateful for his disclosure because it echoed my similarly odd history. I felt less alone in hereditary Shamanism.

Like many aspects of oral tradition, the blindness of siblings to magic that another child in the family sees is puzzling. Here’s the theory I developed. If you do not have love for a culture, you don’t see it. Think of how colonizers look at Indigenous People as uneducated savages, clearly demonstrating that the colonizers are the uneducated savages. That is an extreme example to make the issue clearer. But the problem doesn’t have to be that extreme. I am not suggesting that anyone who doesn’t see magic is savage and uneducated.

My siblings were not tuned to magic, so they never saw it, let alone as a cultural part of our hearth.

Well, I know they saw it sometimes because occasionally they admit Mom’s incredible psychic abilities and Witch spirituality … and then deny them moments later. So in the long run, they don’t admit Mom was a Shaman.

Now to expand on my second guideline for learning in oral tradition:

Pay attention to more than words. Pay attention to gestures, silences, emotions in the air, and how you respond to them.

Oral tradition is not only the spoken word. It is also everything else in the moment.

You will notice how the second guideline weaves with the third:

Choose someone who is loving to sit beside.. Then the gestures, silences, and everything else in the moment will be filled with love, kindness, and compassion.

If someone’s words are mostly ego-ridden, constantly emphasizing that their ideas are important and the only right ones, walk away fast. Find someone else.

Oral tradition is about people being together. So if someone is filled with arrogance, it fills the moment, the air, and you with toxic energy. You are receiving a dysfunctional version of oral tradition. This is one of many reasons I advise you to pay attention to how you respond to gestures, silences, and emotions in the air. When you examine your reactions to someone’s company, you can sense whether they are good company.

Arrogance and pride are not the only toxins that can fill the moment. Just as a loving person adds love, kindness, and compassion to the moment, so a person who harbors hatred brings hate, cruelty, and judgmental condemnation.

Some individuals skillfully mask their judgmental nature and other flaws as the high moral ground. Some individuals mask abusive expressions of anger as righteousness. Anger is healthy. Expressing it abusively is not.

I learned all this the hard way. After Mom died, continuing to train as a Fairy Shaman in oral tradition was almost impossible because I could not find anyone else who taught through an oral Fairy tradition. I finally found one person. There was a lot wrong with him. I studied with him anyway. I justified my decision by thinking that I could handle it. After all, I was already a powerful savvy Witch. I paid dearly. Don’t settle. Study on your own and pray for the right teacher. The teacher will come.

We are all flawed. No teacher is going to be a perfect human. But find a loving one. Note your experiences of the moments when you are with a teacher. That will help you choose someone who is loving. Don’t settle for less.

For full disclosure, I need to admit that, as a young priestess teaching Shamanism, my own arrogance got in the way. Luckily, it did not take long for me to see how hurtful I was. I changed my ways.

A Story about Learning Oral Tradition

The following story illustrates some points I’ve made about learning through oral tradition:

My mother taught me Witch spirituality from the day I was born. But she never mentioned the word Witch until she was on her deathbed. A lot of what she taught was by example. I do not mean I only watched her do ritual. Her mundane actions demonstrated Witch spirituality by embodying it. She taught me Witch spirituality mostly by the way she walked through the world on a daily basis. Here are examples: her business savvy, her excellence in the kitchen, her fierce protectiveness of me, and her loud uninhibited laughter.

Here is another way Mom taught me: I was surrounded by her essence every day. That’s the nature of living with someone. So, even were she not practicing magic, her Fairy energy surrounded me, sinking into me. Therefore, the patterns, rhythms, beauty, and power of her magic became mine.

I want to phrase that a bit better: “Even were she not practicing magic overtly, …” Adding that word is important. For one thing, a lot of oral tradition magic is woven so seamlessly into everyday activities that it escapes notice. For another, everything is magic. Every person on the planet is always doing magic, whether they know it or not. In either case, her magic surrounded me.

Oral Tradition and Magic

Ritual is one of the most important parts of oral tradition. It is also a pivotal way that oral tradition can transmit power. 

Oddly enough, most published definitions of oral tradition do not include ritual, let alone include it as one of the main ways to orally transmit ideas, culture, etc.

I think the rituals of oral tradition are often left out of publications for two reasons.

1) Ritual can be subtle, especially in oral tradition. Someone might be praying silently while pouring you a cup of tea. Many anthropologists and other outside observers overlook anything that is not right in their faces.

2) Academics hogged the mainstream dialogue that defined oral tradition. Search “oral tradition” online, and you’ll mostly see academic definitions. If this dialogue included more indigenous groups, working-class people, and other less privileged individuals, a different dialogue and definition would emerge.

Let me expand on the two reasons.

Academia tends to reinforce systemic oppression. Ignoring a non-colonizer culture’s subtleties helps minimize that culture’s nuanced sophistication and its importance. This reinforces arguments that justify eradicating the culture.

Leaving out ritual and its importance in oral tradition minimizes the power that ritual gives its participants. So fewer people turn to oral tradition, not knowing the immense power that it can give them. In other words, academics will say that oral tradition conveys cultural sensibilities. That’s wonderful. But more people would turn to oral tradition if they understood that oral tradition rituals help cultural sensibilities come alive in one’s heart and cells, instead of being ideas alone. Ideas are powerful but the ability to embody them is more powerful. The wisdom of ancestors and other resources that are in our DNA and resist oppression can come forward during oral tradition rituals. Rituals instill other powers too.

People who reinforce systemic oppression do not want less fortunate individuals to find sources of power.

No one has expertise in all oral traditions. This essay emphasizes oral tradition and Shamanism. It is a weaving in which I am expert. Also, I am committed to sharing oral tradition in the context of Shamanism in my classes and counseling. I thought this essay might help explain my work. (… Or should I say “committed to sharing Shamanism in the context of oral tradition”?)

As I said, oral tradition cannot be defined or explained. It can only be experienced. In that vein, I won’t try to fully explain the relationship between oral tradition and magic. The relationship is only understood through experiential lessons.

But if I move away from trying to define the undefinable and give illustrations instead, they might be helpful:

Learning Magic from My Mother Experientially

From birth, Mom helped me strengthen and refine my natural-born magical gifts. Here is one way she did this:

From my earliest memory, Mom wrapped the ancient Faery Faith around me, not as an abstract idea but as a living magic.

This magic was in my Fey-touched mother’s maternal love. All powers are in a mother’s love, including love and magic from the Fairy King and Queen. These ancient Gods helped Mom be loving. Her love is a role model for my behavior in my classes: The words I choose, how I say them, and whatever else I do during and between my words.

Here are more illustrations:

Teaching Magic Experientially

I teach Shamanism as an oral tradition. During class, I am not talking at you. We are in ritual together, in Fairy realms. It is psychically kinesthetic. We walk between the stars and become star-drenched.

The lessons are experiential learning. Mind you, my students learn not only from doing magic and experiencing oral tradition, but also from my linear, logical explanations of magical techniques and other parts of Fairy Shamanism. But even if an explanation on the surface is a lecture, we are in ritual. The explanations are ritual. And as ritual, they too are experiential learning.

I was born a good luck charm and an amulet for peace, prosperity, and more. Good luck, peace, prosperity, and other blessings fill the air around you during a class meeting. Like I said, the energy of the participants fill the space. If you’d like to learn more about my talismanic ability, click here.

Just as my mother taught me Witch spirituality by embodying it, I try to walk my talk in interactions with my students.

Where to Go from Here for Oral Tradition Shamanism

You can learn oral tradition Shamanism, live in oral tradition Shamanism, live in magic, be magic, draw on magic. Here’s how:

Experiential learning: Attend one of my free rituals to experience the mysteries of oral tradition magic. Subscribe to my newsletter for announcements of upcoming rituals. Click here to subscribe.

As I said, you can’t explain oral tradition in print. I wrote this essay in hopes it would affirm your wild longing for something beyond the printed page, beyond dry definitions of oral tradition, beyond equally desiccated definitions of magic, and past the supposedly informed opinions of oppressors. Those opinions are lies. They not only conceal magic and mysticism, but also help suppress and destroy the culture and power of many groups.

Your wild longings are beautiful, holy, and rich with dignity. Your passion for life is blessed by ancient Gods. So mote it be!

A New Fairy Witch Course

Posted on July 3, 2025 by Francesca

Magic Lemonade—A New Fairy Witch Class:

Learn 13 Ways to Turn Obstacles into Opportunities

Begins July 20, 2025

There’s an old expression, When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Life gives a lot of lemons. I turn them into magic lemonade. Then life is Fey-touched, fun happens despite nasty circumstances, and my dreams come true.

The same can happen for you.

Fairy Witch Practices That Turn Obstacles into Opportunities

In this new Fairy Witch class, you learn the “recipe” for my magic lemonade. The recipe consists of thirteen Fairy Witch methods that make the best of whatever comes your way, create an enchanted happy life, and help you reach your cherished goals.

As in any good recipe, the thirteen magics blend to become something special. Together, they are more powerful than the sum of their parts. Expect joy and miracles to abound.

If you want ecstatic spirituality, this course’s experiential lessons have glittery, fizzy magic for you.

The Old Gods are my ancestors. I inherited Their power. It is in me. So I believe in greatness. I believe everyone can do big things. Greatness takes different forms. For example, writing books that help thousands of readers. Or lifting coworkers’ spirits by being a comedian during lunch. Or being a loving mother to your family. This course fosters greatness—the power to do big things—even if you don’t see your greatness yet.

Why I Created Magic Lessons about Using Problems as Assets

Paula—one of my wonderfully supportive readers—posted kind feedback about how I live. She did not know that the thirteen techniques, which are among my personal ongoing Shamanic practices, helped create the life she praised. She made three kind posts with the same themes, over a few years’ time. This reinforced them and made them more notable to me.

Her comments represent the need individuals other than myself might have for these Fairy techniques. So I decided to teach them. Below are Paula’s remarks. With her permission, I edited them to make sense out of their original context:

“You seem to have a knack for using life’s ruts and downsides as fuel to be ever-creating something new and continuing on. It is very inspiring.”

“I admire your drive and reliance at overcoming obstacles and continuing to thrive in adverse conditions. It’s really inspiring to me.”

“You just keep going and going – it’s true! I really enjoyed reading about your positive response to the helping hand(s) the Universe gave you. LOL, burglars broke into your UHaul storage locker and helped themselves to your stuff, but you still go, unfettered by the excess baggage that was stolen and keeping it fun!”

Then, my student Candace LaRue added more inspiration. I said, “I do not make do. I make joy. So mote it be!” Candace responded, “Wiser words were never spoken!” She too affirmed the importance of magic lemonade not just for me, but also for other seekers.

These friends mirrored me back to myself. This helped me see more about myself.

When life gives you lemons, make magic lemonade. Life can be glorious.

Magic Lemonade can be used as one of the two qualifying electives needed to participate in the advanced Fairy Witch training.

Hard Work, Magic Fun, and Fighting Subjugation

It is important to fight oppression while simultaneously building an alternative, beautiful society. If there is only the fight, we remain in an oppressor’s world, which is mostly struggle. The fight never ends.

Building alternatives requires embodying them. Visions and talk are not enough, though they are crucial.

I will not wait until the fight is over. I try to fight while also embodying beauty, joy, and freedom for all.

I am willing to work hard. I am not willing to do work that is unnecessary or unnecessarily difficult.

Some ways I build a joyous world:
* I practice trusting that joy is innate to the human experience.
* I tell myself joy is sacred.
* I pursue joy.

Here are some ways I build a world that honors joyful work. I do nothing perfectly. But I do the following well, and I keep improving:
* I do the necessary hard work.
* I streamline your Shamanic lessons, cutting unnecessary work that would burden you.
* I create Shamanic curriculums that both facilitate the hard work and offer transformative magical fun.

Happy magic is as necessary as the challenging work that transforms self and society. Happy magic has its own way of transforming everything.

Most of this page’s description of the course is lighthearted. I enjoy writing explanations that are fun, encouraging, and uplifting, instead of dour and daunting.

Magic lemonade is not a trivial, unrealistic idea that only “flakes” will believe. Most of my students demonstrate perceptiveness, bravery, and grit. They work hard work to maintain and increase these traits. The rest of my students want these traits and work toward them. This powerful course is suited to individuals who think big, strive toward heads in the clouds, feet on the ground, and want a child’s honest belief in magic.

The Magic Lemonade recipe is comprised of timeless Shamanic methods that
* Foster my perceptiveness, bravery, and grit.
* Include sparkly effervescent enchantments that help me reach my spiritual and material goals.
* Give me good luck.
* Help me build a society in which everyone is free.
* Create a world with joy, empowering wonder, abundance, happy powerful Witchcraft, and tea parties with Fairy Gods.

The lessons can do for you what they do for me.

The scent of lemon blossoms is not bitter. It is sweet and lush. It is peace and ease. So mote it be!

New Weekly Witch Gathering

Posted on March 26, 2025 by Francesca

A Magical Haven 2025

Escape to a Magical Haven
with Francesca De Grandis,
Fairy Witch elder
and best-selling author of Be a Goddess!

We’ll meet once a week
for four months,
starting Monday April 28.

Enroll by Wednesday April 23.

At our weekly meetings,
you enter a Magical Haven
where you are safe,
and your wild Pagan heart is free,
your power grows,
and the Goddess Diana, Queen of Fairies,
hand in hand with Lucifera, the Fairy King,
bless you with abundance,
freedom, justice, joy, protection,
and your other heritages as a child of these sweet Deities.

Most of the event will be easy. It is not a class, so you don’t have to learn spells and study a lot. This is a series of enchanted experiences: Once a week, I lead you in a rite. Each one will be a spell for magic to lovingly embrace you and carry you to your goals, goals like serenity, prosperity, sovereignty, victory, and healthy relationships.

So instead of your always having to work hard, magic will take care of you, helping manifest pivotal material and spiritual successes for you.

Magic is the living presence of the Goddess protecting us, empowering us, and carrying us to our most precious goals. She is all matter and motion, all substances and energy, and the connections between all substances and energy. She is the living spaces between particles of matter. She is the Tao. And all that Divine power will take good care of you during this new Fairy Witch gathering.

There will be practical spells, lyrical mysticism, experiential awareness of the Gods, and other Fairy enchantments. It won’t just be talk. It will be live magic.

You will become your myth and live your poem. Faerie tales do come true.

Definitions if you’re new to my work:
*Witchcraft and Shamanism are synonymous in my tradition. Ask me why if you want.
* Ditto spells, rituals, ceremonies, meditations, etc.
* All the magic I teach is Fey, whether described as such or not.

Attend by Phone. It’s Easy!

Simply call the event phone number to attend. The group meets by teleconference. No special technology needed.

Schedule

A Magical Haven occurs weekly on Mondays, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm Pacific time, for four months, starting Monday April 28 and continuing through Sept 1. Also reserve Sept 8, the usual time, for a makeup session in case I’m unavailable for a planned session.

It Is Fine if You Miss Some Sessions

If you need to miss some sessions, enroll anyway. Here’s why:

1) Perfect attendance isn’t always possible in real life.

2) You benefit from every meeting whether you’re at it or not, because I cast a spell for you during each meeting. More about that spell is below.

3) If you commit to something important, even if you don’t know how to accomplish it, the Gods make it work for you: You’ll be able to attend often enough.

Enrollment

Cost is $200 a month for four months. Your carrier might charge you for the calls.

To drop out, simply cancel your subscription, and no further payments are required. No refunds.

Three Master-of-the Arts Magic
Will Fuel Your Success

The enrollment price is a bargain. I’m charging less than I might. I do a lot to help your life be wonderful. Here are three Master-of-the Arts magics I bring to a Magical Haven:

1) Oral Tradition Faerie Rituals

I use master-level shamanic techniques to create powerful ceremonies that are safe for beginners and substantive enough for adepts.

My oral tradition allows luscious connectivity to the Goddess’ power so immense headway happens quickly. Fairy oral-tradition magic works only in small groups so enrollment will be limited.

2) I Cast Spells For Your Success

Each meeting, while we do a ritual together, I also silently cast a spell that sends you good luck, adds power to your efforts, and helps you achieve goals.

This spell adapts to meet your needs, e.g., money, soul healing, physical health, opportunities to express your wild heart, or relief from pressing spiritual challenges such as despair.

3) One-on-One Shamanic Support by Phone

I’m available if you have concerns to discuss privately. Or, if you have a question that would take too long to answer during a group ceremony, you can call.

4) Plus Magic Shamanic Art Empowers You

Instead of three, let’s have four Master-of-the Arts Magics. I was happily motivated to add a fourth. That is going overboard because these sessions would be incredibly powerful without this addition, but there can never be too much magic, joy, and wonder in life:

You receive seven gorgeous pieces of enchanted art. These are my original paintings. You receive digital versions, to which I have added Fairy power. When we meet, I will provide easy instructions on how to use this art during the meetings to add yet more magic.

Reviews

I am genuinely in a much more secure better-feeling place than I was in a matter of a couple of months. I went from high anxiety to a deep abiding feeling of peace, but without really understanding what happened LOL – It was like it was magic.—Adam Busch

WOW FDG!!! … My life really did change for the better. … What came to me has been big money and [work that let me] be of service.—Kathy Crabbe

I have always found it difficult to get into a trance state of healing, but you have (many times) helped me via telephone, which I would not have believed possible. You are a truly magical healer; your warm, calming voice and your wisdom have helped me thru some very difficult times.—Thomas Byrnes

I so want the good and increasingly oppressed hearts among us to take just a step—just one—onto the path you offer and into the presence of the way you hold yourself, Francesca. That path and your essence will enfold them with not just the promise of peace but the living presence of it, deep as the inner earth, vast as the starry heavens.—Rebecca

Cost for four months of rituals, transmissions, one-on-one support, and enchanted art: $200 a month.

Power Belongs to Everyone

The Fairy Gods stand with us against hierarchy. Anyone can visit the Magical Haven. The Fairy Gods are inclusive and bestow magnificent blessings on anyone who visits Them.

My shamanic methods have conquered challenges that should’ve killed me, and have freed me from some enormous inner and outer limits. They can do the same for you.

They give you spiritual and worldly power to have a happy life, no matter how large or complex your challenges and goals.

Think of the Magical Haven as a sanctuary hidden in Faerie realms—somewhat like a Goddess temple, Druid grove, and a Pagan monastery combined. There, the Universe lends us all Its power to fulfill our longings for love, money, health, serenity, self-love, and more.

It is a sanctuary and joy, even in the hardest times.

A mystical environment with magic that centers you into power, serenity, wisdom, and good luck, even when you’re in crisis or have trauma symptoms, might seem impossible. But my students will tell you I deliver.

Every visit to the Magical Haven is pure enchantment … literally. … You can interpret that sentence literally because I am using the word literally correctly.

Ritual moments between the stars nourish and uplift us like few things ever could.

Ecstatic contemplations in our Magical Haven help free us from subjugation and help us have the magical and worldly powers to live wild and free.

I support you in your life circumstances and frame of mind.

I’m offering A Magical Haven because there’s an especially great need for it now.

Grab this opportunity.

For Beginners and Adepts

The rituals work for beginners and adepts.

I facilitate our circles with easy-to-understand, step-by-step magical instructions.

I’ve never met anyone too successful materially, spiritually, or magically to not profit in major ways from my work.

I Am Devoted to My Students

My shamanic community work is dedicated to mentoring individuals who want
* spiritual growth
* beauty
* the ability to serve well
* prosperity
*joy
* and magic that is powerful enough to help reach these and other major life goals.

If that describes you or who you want to be, you will experience incomparable progress in this event.

Every day is new and offers miracles.

Hard as a Diamond

Hard as a Diamond

Note: Diamonds are remarkably hard. They are used in industry for grinding, drilling, and sawing. Diamonds can cut through concrete.

Diamond hard times hone me
into the sharpest, most sturdy weapon.

Diamond hard times shine,
revealing evil—all that blocks freedom.

Diamond hard times shine brilliant,
revealing all evil,
including my own,
that I may overcome this inner enemy.

Diamond hard times shine,
revealing my resistance to my freedom.

Diamond hard times
force me to choose hope.
Thus I sacrifice my excuses for inaction.

Diamond hard times force me to
either recognize even more of my duties to community and self
or sink into self-pity and despair.

Diamond hard times force me to fulfill my duties
or live in self-pitying despair.

Diamond hard times are strong enough
to grind down my resistance to beauty.

Above diamond hard times,
the sky arcs:
Searingly compassionate blues
—that only an Artist could create—
enfold the moment. A loving embrace.

Diamond hard times
force me to raise my gaze,
study the sky,
and ponder the ring of mountains
that circle me with their
sun-bleached grass and cloud-like crests.
Beauty fills my cells with joy,
revealing meaning and purpose.

New Fairy Witch Class

Posted on January 9, 2025 by Francesca

Begins February 2025

Join the Fairy Magic Circus

Ecstatic Spirituality, Sacred Play, Joyful Wonder

Magic to Reach Every Goal

Joy, fun, wonder, and even silliness are powerful magics that help create prosperity, community, justice, self-expression, career success, soul-healing, freedom, and your other life goals. This course will show you how.

We’ll travel into the Fey realm to go to the Fairy Magic Circus. We will learn the magical powers of sacred joy from the masters of happiness: The clown, aerialist, strength performer, contortionist, juggler, wild animal handler, and ring master/mistress will teach you magic spells.

These archetypes will help you cast happy spells for everything you want.

The RingMaster/Mistress’s Powers

Fun Is Holy

Fun is holy. I cannot doubt it when I watch a child play. They seek fun the way a mystic seeks the Divine: with ferocity and reverence. The result is the child and mystic experiencing fulfillment, peace, power, and joy.

My Gods, being Pagan, bless fun activities.

Joy Is Holy

I need joy. Joy heals. Joy reminds me of my power and connects me to it. Joy unites me with tribe so that we can stand strong together, empowered to defeat adversity. Joy cuts through my illusions and discouragement to settle me into love for and from others. Joy brings forth my inner goodness: for example, respect for—and right action concerning—other people.

We will work with all these aspects of joy. We will also work with joy as a pure magic unto itself: The course will show how joy can create miracles.

A sense of wonder—or call it awe—nourishes my spirit. When I am starving for hope and motivation, awe is my food—a feast! Then I know that the Universe has happy plans for me.

I love circus artists because they focus on creating wonder, whether as circus barkers or trapeze artists. For me, that demonstrates they are masters of ecstatic spirituality.

Their shows embody sheer joy, both the experience of it and the giving of it. In their way, they teach ecstatic spirituality.

Let’s run away and join the Fairy Magic Circus to learn unapologetic joy, empowering wonder, and powerful happy witchcraft from the happiness experts.

You will learn to use wonder as a magic that creates miracles.

In the Fairy Magic Circus, we will also experience sacred silliness that lifts us so we transcend our dilemmas, and then roots us into our common sense so that we know how to solve those problems.

And the circus performer archetypes will teach how to find joy, wonder, and happiness even during hard times. For example, joy is a sacred sensibility that can permeate all activities.

I Joined the Fairy Circus

Posted on August 18, 2024 by Francesca

I Joined the Fairy Circus

Look at my face as a child. Do I look like I was ever suited to a “normal” life?

Obviously, I had to join the circus of life, become a fairground barker, jump on a magic carousel, perform in the Fairy Big Top, and travel with a carnival between the worlds.

Hard Traveling

William, the man who raised me, started traveling poor and hard when he was about twelve. My research indicates that his mom couldn’t afford to feed him, so he left home at age seven to work on a farm. A census puts him on a farm at that time, but not in his mom’s household. This is corroborated by a family member mentioning an “uncle” whose farm she visited as a child. The “uncle’s” name is the same as little William’s employer. There is also a relevant photo.

A census also shows that William (Bill) returned home, where his mother now lived with a new husband and his son. That unfortunate young boy stole milk from his front porch after the milkman delivered it because there was not enough food in the home. He would drink from the bottle and then add water to hide his theft. He told this to his daughter, my cousin, who passed the story on to me when I told her I suspected Dad had lived in poverty as a child.

It appears that young Bill left home again soon, to hit the road at age twelve. This was a common solution if a household had too many mouths to feed.

If my earlier writing about Bill contradicts anything here, it is likely because my research netted new information.

Request: It seems that the expression hard traveling predates its use in a Woody Guthrie song. If you know otherwise, please tell me. The expression is magical to me.

It might seem odd that a phrase describing hardship is magical to me. It might even appear callous toward individuals who suffer—or have suffered—on the road. I am in no way romanticizing hard traveling or otherwise minimizing it. My family history, including my own, is why the phrase is magic for me. I won’t didactically spell out further explanation here. The situation is nuanced, so perhaps explanations require an oral give-and-take dialogue. But this essay explains in part, not didactically but experientially and embodied.

A Witch Raised on Optimism and Descended from Society’s Hedge Rows

I wonder if Dad’s love of music came from traveling. His adoration of music seemed incongruent with everything else about him. He even loved musicals. But perhaps his love of show tunes came from his mother, who was a showgirl.

I descended from people who were on the edges of society, but they were not always what most people would imagine.

I assumed showgirl was the family euphemism for stripper. But later, I saw a family painting that I was told is a portrait of Bill’s mom. Curious, I went online, armed with the painter’s name: W Haskell Coffin. I discovered he was known for painting Ziegfeld showgirls. If the portrait is Bill’s mother, she was probably in the Ziegfeld Follies or a similar group.

That is not incompatible with being poor. Here are two reasons. Many performers experience economic hardship. As in any business, some people accumulate wealth, some people barely scrape by. If she did make decent money, she would’ve been past the age of a youthful Ziegfeld girl by the time she suffered poverty with young William. He was born six years after the Follies began. Her money could’ve run out by then.

I’ve spent decades researching my family history, trying to understand it. I’m not a trained researcher. My conclusions could easily be amiss. I tell the story best I can. That’s the job of a circus barker. Perhaps putting a family history together best you can is a necessity when you come from the margins. There were so many roadblocks. For example, I contacted an organization that archives material on Ziegfeld girls. The person with whom I spoke explained that a lot of material was lost because, after Ziegfeld died, there was no money to be made from the archives, so no one took care of them. Marginalized because of lack of money.

The following snapshot of the portrait isn’t great. I took it without great equipment decades ago at a family member’s home:

(Update: Further investigation suggests this might not be my grandmother, despite the family’s claim and all the time I’d already spent researching the painting. At least it opened my mind to her being a showgirl instead of a stripper. I hope I discover the group(s) in which she performed, and I am still looking into Ziegfeld. Research is a living process; new findings lead to—or suggest—new conclusions. Unfortunately, most people in the know have passed on. Of the few that remain, I only know one who is a reliable source. Speaking of new findings: After I wrote the above part of this paragraph, I spoke with that trustworthy source—e.g., when her source might be unreliable, she acknowledges it. She provided new history: She too was told Grandma was a showgirl. She was also told that Grandma was an actress. She added that it was implied—though not said outright—that Grandma was not well regarded by the family because of her work.)

Another example of outliers in the family: Bill was as close-minded as they come. But as a teenager, I brought home a stranger. He had no place to sleep, was due to enter the Marines the next day, and carried a guitar. I assumed Dad would angrily turn him away. That would’ve been typical of my close-minded, bitter father. But he gave the guy a bed. I imagine it was in part because the fellow was soon to be a Marine, but that the guitar had a lot to do with it too.

Dad, unexpectedly, adored folk music, not just show tunes. After his World War II military stint, he didn’t return from Europe to his wife and kids right away (I wasn’t born yet, but I know the story). He went south and hung out with hillbillies. Had they met as hard-traveling children? Thus far, I don’t know where else this extremely conservative man could’ve acquired a love of folk music. And unless he had experienced it rooted in his life experiences and worldview, he would’ve loathed it in the ‘60s when it was associated with radical politics.

I am 74 years old. Previous generations of my family are long gone. Their deaths impelled me to investigate old newspapers, public records, etc., long ago. That has been and continues to be fruitful and fascinating. I will keep at it to answer my new questions about Bill and the rest of the family. Plus, the family member who I know to be reliable remains, ever-ready to talk. And the beloved dead appear in visions to point out directions I might pursue or even tell me stories.)

More Lineage from Society’s Hedge-Row Edges

Bill was not my biological dad. DNA indicates my biological father likely descended from nomads. A family story: An Indian prince proposed to Mom but she chose Bill instead. I don’t know what the family meant by Indian. Mom aside, the family’s lack of education and abundance of prejudice means family members might have considered various peoples as Indian. Was my father Arabic? Iranian? Or?

Grandma a showgirl, Bill a hard traveler, biological father possibly a royal nomad, and Mom a fortuneteller from a long line of Italian witches. I was grown in the edges—society’s hedge rows. Add that I was raised on old musicals with their fantastically optimistic themes, and I had to become a performer in the Fairy circus of life—a nomad traveling for sheer joy, both the experience of it and the giving of it.

Hard Times Taught Me Unapologetic Joy

I am grateful to know a beautiful joy that you can learn from hard times. It is a joy you learn to nurture regardless of circumstances. It is a pure, untainted joy.

That’s one reason I love the circus. Circus artists focus on creating joy and wonder, whether as a clown or trapeze artist. Their shows embody unapologetic joy.

Run away and join the Fairy Magic Circus, for sheer joy:

Fairy Magic Quest 2023

Posted on September 21, 2023 by Francesca

Cerridwen and Taliesin:
A Ritual Journey
to Achieve Your Sweetest Goals

You can live the Cerridwen-Taliesin myth as a ritual process of
personal transformation and empowerment.

Experience a guided quest with me. Enter the Fey realm of all powers and possibilities. Leave behind barriers that restrict hope and achievements. Even if your barriers seem impenetrable, this event will show you how to fulfill your longings for abundance, soul healing, physical health, adventure, and more.

If you don’t know Cerridwen and Taliesin’s tale, and thus don’t understand my references here, that’s not a problem. I tell the story during the ritual. For now, please enter into the spirit of this post.

Cross the Fey threshold into mythic lands, where you live a revisioning of the Mabonogian tale of crone Cerridwen and bardic-visionary Taliesin.

Win the knowledge in the Goddess Cerridwen’s cauldron, to overcome major challenges—both mundane and spiritual—and know magics that create the life you want. Gain the Fey light that anoints Taliesin’s brow, filling him with inspiration, courage, and down-to-earth savviness. You can be a visionary and practical, and the combination will make your dearest goals come true.

Explore esoteric mysteries in ways that make a big positive difference in your life, spiritually and materially. We don’t have to choose between the two. For example, we can believe we are fairies and create abundance. We can have peace and career success. We can meet our responsibilities and have self-care.

This is a four-month Fairy magic ceremony. It conveys power and wisdoms not available elsewhere. My analysis—or call it a revisioning—of the myth is an esoteric understanding of the story’s elements. I created something so innovative that it generated imitations for at least a few decades—rituals described as similar to mine. My version is the only one enchanted by the extensive shamanic underpinnings that I developed for this ritual process.

My initial development of this ritual of grounded empowerment took three years. Since then, I led the ritual many times for two (three?) decades, continuing to refine it. Now, I only offer it every four years or so. (Last time was 2019.)

This is the first time I am offering this ritual without participants needing to have taken certain classes as prerequisites.

For decades, prerequisites allowed participants to powerfully and safely use this event’s magic to speedily move toward their dream lives.

Then, in recent years, I developed new approaches that work wonderfully for both advanced practitioners and beginning students. The power is enormous, beautiful, and safe. Adepts will receive the advanced experiences they require, while beginners can experience a more accessible route. This occurs because the ritual’s energies will meet people where they are, adapting to their needs, desires, and circumstances, even if those shift from week to week.

This is live magic: hands-on. Vibrant magical power that is the living presence of the old Gods’ love for us. In our mystical voyage, you will get more out of any spiritual and magical work you’ve already done. But if you have no magical background or haven’t tended to yourself spiritually lately, you will never be in over your head during our meetings. Instead, you’re nurtured, empowered, and embraced by a circle of love.

This is the first time I’m extending this ritual to make it a whole four months. I’ve channeled new energies to bring into this ritual, for an additional layer of wisdom and power that meets our current times. The additional time allows us to use the additional material.

Also, as Tania Troyan, a teacher of the Italian language, says, it takes 49 days for new neural pathways to develop and be used. Mark Fischetti and Jen Christiansen wrote in Scientific American, “In 80 to 100 days, 30 trillion (cells in your body) will have replenished—the equivalent of a new you.” A four-month ritual allows you to be embraced by love, power, and support while your cells, brain, and nerves are completely shifting, right to the end. But wait, there’s more! Hahaha.

The work we do will snowball so a lot more growth, healing, shifting, and wisdom come to you long after the four months end.

And I am available after the four months, if you need support with your continuing experiences or have questions about them. I commit to my ritual participants.

Be a Goddess Who Has All Powers

Posted on March 16, 2023 by Francesca

Rage, Despair, and Grief Are Chances to
Be a Goddess (or Other-Gendered Deity) Who Has All Powers

To survive and thrive, I am so flexible that I am formless.
A nomad mystic, traveling Faerie realms, I am stardust.

All Human Fates Entwine

Part of my human and Fey heritages is connection with humankind as a whole.

All our fates are entwined.

As a shaman and servant to the Fairy Queen, I have a joyful duty to serve not only my shamanic students but also the larger whole.

My students and other friends are wonderful spiritual companions. Traveling spiritually alongside them upholds and nourishes me. The following is not about these friends. It is about the human race, which is part of my larger community along with Gaia’s other children.

A substantial percentage of humankind practices greed, heartlessness, and cruelty regularly. At times, my rage, despair, and grief overcome me. I’ve realized that, at such times, these painful feelings might be the only way I connect with humankind as a whole.

Though a misery to me, these feelings are strong fibers that bind me to every human on the planet.

One way or another, connection to humankind must happen. I cannot escape it, no matter how terribly a large part of humankind treats Gaia and all Her children. I want to choose how I connect.

Escape from Cruel Situations Can Feel Impossible

When rejected, mauled, and deprived from birth,
when carried in the womb of a Faerie woman
who was scorned, battered, and exiled,
when our skin and hair
was perceived as reason for incrimination,
when humans have haunted me and hunted me
for almost three-quarters of a century,
until in old age and a sleepless night,*
my past seems to be proof
that escape from cruel situations is impossible,
my despair, grief, and rage are inevitable and sane.

I must embrace them.

Then I can recognize
that my exhausted mind deceived me.
I can achieve freedom.
Doors to freedom surround me.

Rage, Despair, and Grief Are Gates to Power:
I Am Stardust

Yes, I embrace them.

They become my gates to power: To survive and thrive, I must become so flexible that I am formless. Formlessness immediately leads to my transforming further, into star dust. It is my natural state. I remember my path. I can plant my feet firmly into it.

Once in my natural state, I quickly, without even trying, become the entire cosmos—Diana, Magna Mater. It’s one of my favorite states.

Now I have no choice but to be in it if I want to survive and thrive. In it, I have all power.

My job is to be my true self—I am stardust, Diana, Magna Mater—because that innately serves the cosmos.

I Am Stardust and Faery Power. I Release Everything Else

Preparing to move to Italy, I am ruthlessly getting rid of every material possession possible. I want nothing but stardust.

I will keep what I need for functionality and beauty. Stardust.

I don’t regret moving back to California, even though, now, I don’t intend to stay.

California is my home—my mother land. But you can’t go home again.

I had to return here to take care of some things before moving to Italy. I didn’t know that is why I came back.

A Nomadic Mystic Traveling Across Faerie Realms

Before moving across the pond, I need to spend time with dear friends in California. I need to revel in and strengthen our connections with each other. Almost all my friends here had kept in touch with me long-distance before I moved back to California. But I need time with them here. Not only am I enjoying wonderful companionship, we’re strengthening a foundation to continue our authentic connection long-distance. This time together will make that long-distance friendship even better.

I need to revisit the land beneath San Francisco’s concrete to say the proper goodbye I could not manage when I moved away before. I need to do other things here, too.

I hope Italy will be my permanent home. But who knows.

I’m no longer counting on a permanent home.

My father was likely Middle Eastern. He might’ve been a nomad. Has my bloodline kept me from settling down happily? Is my DNA the reason that trying to make a permanent home on the material plane made me unhappy?

My home is within myself and within care from my sweet Fairy Gods.

My home is between the stars. I have always known that. I have always traversed Fay realms, but they are my home even more than ever.

Is a Spiritual Home an Illusion?

… Perhaps the idea of a home in the mystic and spiritual realms is a deception.

… No, it’s not a deception. A spiritual home is an important concept. A spiritual home has many vital meanings. … I will never let go of the idea of a sacred “home.” … There are good reasons that I work hard to help my students find their spiritual homes. There are good reasons that I strive to help each student find various metaphysical homes. They could range from being at home in a career to being at home in oneself to trusting one’s magical truths.

And a paradox exists. I need to relinquish the idea of a home, in some ways. The free movement of Nomads with their ever-moving homes is battled by the patriarchy, a death culture that wants everything fixed in place. Borders and boundaries maintain greed-based institutions like patriarchy, colonization, and racism**.

To be free of society’s oppressive spaces and culture, I need, to some extent, to let go of even a metaphysical home other than the ever-shifting Tao. It is the glorious now that is always magic aka miracle.

This is not to say I can escape misery. Or despair. Or rage or grief. They are part of life. Part of the Tao.

Clinging to any rigidity that my fear insists protects me increases misery. Surrendering to the Tao opens every moment to the possibility of joy.

After decades of practicing this surrender, my hopefully-correct understanding is that it’s become time to take it further. So I am. If I understand correctly, my survival and thriving require formlessness greater than I’ve ever experienced, despite my decades of shifting, shifting, and shifting. And I must be formless more consistently than ever.

My formlessness turns into stardust. And then I am a Goddess, Who has all powers. So mote it be!

Enjoy Shamanic Fey-touched travels.

we have our heads in the clouds

Footnotes

* A friend of mine says that whatever comes into your head after 9 pm is garbage. That’s obviously not true. But I understand her point. When you’re tired, it’s easy to sink into beliefs like, “My life is meaningless.” I am grateful when I remember my friend’s words at such times.

** Patriarchy, colonization, racism, and the other isms are synonyms to some degree. They’re also synonymous with greed. For example, if a white woman fights only to overcome her own oppression, good chance she is trying to climb into the upper caste so that she too can profit from the exploitation of oppressed groups. That is not feminism. It is greed. However, if she also fights misogynoir, she helps dismantle society’s oppressive structures. In other words, she understands that stopping isms requires stopping them as a whole. Mind you, there are many necessary exceptions to seeing them as a piece. For one thing, every ism has a distinct nature and needs to be fought against as such. But always fighting each one individually will dismantle none of them.

Magical Overview of the Event

This eight-month Shamanic journey
begins January 22, 2023

Harness power
in the far reaches of Fairy Witch mysticism.

The Practical Fairy Witch Mystic Training consists of four courses. Each one helps create a magical repertoire with spells that cover any situation.

The Old Gods don’t try to tame you,
or insist you become dour.
They help you find great freedom,
and They help you find your power.

They guide you when you’re lost
and don’t scold you when you’re wrong.
They hold you when you’re hurting.
They show you how you’re strong.

In this mystic training’s rites,
the Old Gods help you be
prosperous, wild,
magical, and free.
So mote it be!

Classes are teleseminars—group meetings by phone. Call the event phone number to attend. No special equipment or app is required.

Here are the four courses.

Class 1: Center and CircumferenceBe Your Fullest Self, and Be in Union with All Things

This is mysticism that creates a new reality. We’ll address worldly (e.g., finances) and spiritual (e.g., your life purpose) concerns.

The course helps you live fully. Here’s one way that will happen:

The lessons free you from society’s lie that important parts of life conflict with each other, so you have to sacrifice unnecessarily. Here’s an example to make that clearer:

Part of becoming utterly ourselves is interacting with others. However, many of us were taught from childhood that we must give up the self to be part of a group. Not true! You can be immersed in love from others and still be you.

We’ll do rituals that empower you to be your true self. We’ll add other rituals that nurture your ability to remain your true self while you’re in the company of loved ones and the larger community. You don’t have to isolate so you feel comfortable being you.

Bringing full self together with thriving participation in community can be daunting. In this course, you don’t have to choose. You’ll gain what you personally need to be fully yourself and also integrate self with community—center and circumference.

Another example of supposed conflicts that the course conquers: The lessons nurture the self-fulfillment that comes through knowing one’s talents while also helping you use them to the max to serve others.

Expect rituals that help you stay in the center. I mean your inner center. I also mean the center of what really happens in life—the grandeur of the cosmos, the beauty of tribe, life’s miraculous possibilities, the big ups and downs, the little ups and downs. You remain safely centered within the circumference of truths.

In addition, the rituals help these centerings remain while you thrive within the circumference of a loving community.

We’re going to accomplish a lot in this course because of its innovative modalities.

Center and Circumference is tailored step by step to its participants. For example, you may need rites that show you your unique place in community and give you the power to take that place.

This course is an intensive = soul-depth, pivotal movements, and playtime.

You’ll be magic like the moon.
You’ll be in union with all things.

The last nine yards to personal well-being and life goals can require evolving past how we’ve always done things—as mystics, as a species, and as unique individuals.

I’ve spent my life channeling a new approach, working full-time to develop and refine it. I continue to evolve material as the global psyche shifts and the Gods give me more information. All the courses in this series have such material.

This post outlines my visions, realizations, and other reasons for creating these four curriculums years ago. Reviewing the post reminded me that I was way ahead of the curve. And I spent decades building up to these courses before that. Do not accept teachers who threw a curriculum together because they’re jumping on the bandwagon late in the game.

Each of the four courses in The Practical Fairy Witch Mystic Training is a complete training in itself. These life-changing courses also weave together into a transformative journey that is even greater than the sum of its parts.

Each course emphasizes specific topics in depth.

The courses also overlap. Some overlaps are mentioned in the course descriptions here. Paradoxically, focusing on a few things, while including several others in that week’s lesson, deepens focus. Far-reaching connectivity is part of Fairy mysticism. You’ll receive experiential shamanic lessons in which you can feel all of creation as a weave that lovingly supports you.

If you do a lot for people, you need someone to take care of you. Healers, parents, teachers, psychics, nurses, and other givers, enroll in The Practical Fairy Witch Mystic Training. In every one of its courses, I take care of you, and you soar.

Class 2: Faeries Love Gaia, and Gaia Loves Faeries Nature Spirituality, Ecstatic Union, and Personal Wholeness

This class’s nature spirituality is without dogma. Just straight-ahead earthy mysticism.

We’ll delve into a connectivity with nature that makes you whole, happy, and powerful. If you have that connection already, it will grow quite a bit.

We’ll explore mysticism that heals Mother Earth and ceremonies with Her that, in turn, heal and empower us. If you already have that, it will be amplified.

You’ll experience a spiritual connection with nature while you’re also thoroughly in touch with the psychic realms, creating an ecstatic union and wholeness. This results in maximum physical and spiritual health.

All the courses in The Practical Fairy Witch Mystic Training include material to achieve an utter integration, within and without. (Interesting sidebar: In a lifetime of channeling rituals and teachings, they almost all foster this integration. When the rituals and teachings focus elsewhere, even then they are potent tools for integration.)

In the process, Faeries Love Gaia, and Gaia Loves Faeries will also explore how our joys and our delights—including our lovemaking—can heal the earth.

As another part of that process, we’ll look at 20th and 21st-century shifts in the global psyche, spirit realms, and environment. The shifts require that at least a handful of mystics take steps that hadn’t been needed previously. The course addresses these steps, which go the last nine yards to human rights for all, our planet’s health, and our personal life goals.

I truly trust that we’re ready to take alternative spirituality and healing another step.

Gaia Spirituality! My star-touched cells long to dance with Gaia’s. She, in turn, needs my best. She and I are in a joyous union, in part through maximum service to each other. The training will facilitate each participant taking the next step and becoming their best, whatever those mean for each of us. We’ll nurture our uniqueness and celebrate it as pivotal to the salvation of the planet. Oh, union!

The course also includes shamanic techniques that maintain your home and the land on which it sits as a healing hearth and sacred site, respectively.

Hidden power spots and overlooked nature spirits abound, needing our blessings, and waiting to bless us in turn. We’ll discuss the power of your residence’s area. Included will be a ritual to wake up and empower the spirit of your local land.

In addition, the course shows how we can best be Gaia’s stewards on the mundane plane, according to our circumstances, personalities, and desires.

And the curriculum does so much more:

Most mystics face emotional wounds and health problems. Some of these might open a person to their metaphysical power. Nonetheless, healing wounds stops them from limiting our happiness. Healing is also required for mysticism to be safe and effective.

In Faeries Love Gaia, and Gaia Loves Faeries, we heal these soul wounds and transform them into safer doorways to power.

Mystics might suffer other emotional wounds and health problems caused by mystical exploration. Possible negative impacts of vigorous otherworldly exploration have been insufficiently addressed. My curriculums are exceptions.

This course’s innovative theories and methods support wild flights into fantastic realms and train you to come back whole.

Lessons in Faeries Love Gaia, and Gaia Loves Faeries are multi-faceted. All the material, even when it seems disparate, comes together to create personal inner integration and integration with Mother Nature. An effective approach to Nature Spirituality must include many far-ranging aspects, combined in a way that adds up to a larger whole. This course ranges from deep mysticism to practical stewardship of land to inner change that helps you with worldly matters.

We can be Gaia’s Faeries—Her children who love Her, tend Her, and dwell within the fullness of Her love and care. Participants in this course visit the realm of Faerie. We drink star-water. Our cells dance with Gaia’s. And our recognition of our beauty becomes an unstoppable agent of change for the better.

Each course in the Practical Fairy Witch Mystic Training has a diversity of intertwining topics. Humans, life, magic, and all of creation are wondrously complex weaves that are somehow also wondrously simple.

The magic of all four courses evolves our DNA toward inner wholeness and integration. Our new state will be a blueprint that the rest of Gaia’s children (animal, mineral, vegetable, and spirit) and Gaia Herself will fashion themselves after, sometimes on a conscious level, just as often not. In other words, we become a psychic template for society and Gaia, simply by changing ourselves. Our inner change empowers the rest of the cosmos to do the same. Any spiritual evolution we achieve in any of these courses helps everyone.

Faeries Love Gaia, and Gaia Loves Faeries is core material for mystics—central to personal and global evolution. I see how much it helps my students.

This class is an intensive.

Class 3: Myth, Body, Gaia, and FaerieFairy Wisdom and Rituals for Otherworldly Adventures

Shamanic rituals for Faerie shamans, bardic poets, visionary painters, cosmic clowns, spiritual outlaws, and other fey-touched seekers. And for anyone who wants to become a fey adventurer.

For now, I’ll oversimplify the definition of myth and define it in a way that might seem eccentric until it’s explained in the course. Let’s call myth an altered state, otherworldly realm, or mythic self-identification. Myth has a more complex, inclusive meaning that we’ll explore during the event.

Myth, Body, Gaia, and Faerie combines myth, the physical body, Mother Earth, and Fairy realms. We will experientially integrate living in myth, being in a physical body, interacting with Gaia on the embodied and mystical planes, and visiting otherworldly lands of Faerie.

This weave produces rich experiences and ecstatic mysticism that are uniquely and innately available to you, then deepens those wonders more, then deepens them beyond more.

Such an extensive weave is made up of many things, including the power to meet practical needs. The class helps star-children improve daily life in worldly ways (e.g. finances, love, home, and career).

There will also be magic to
* Manifest physical health by meeting the needs of your star-touched physiology.
* Heal your soul wounds.
* Make mystical experiences safe. (Star-drenched!)
* Keep you, as a Fey-touched individual, safe in your mundane activities. (Stardust still falls on us when we walk on the earth!)

Part of the healing available in the course will be a chance to address loneliness, self-doubt, and other challenges star-wanderers might face because society misunderstands the mythological and therefore judges us as deluded, immature, or otherwise “wrong.”

Class 4: Come Home to the Faerie QueenBe Star Drenched! Fulfill Your “Impossible” Dreams.

This class was first taught years back, after I had a vision. Here’s a short version of it:

The Faerie Queen tells us,
“I am Mother to the Fey.
More of you are awake now.
Lovers, warriors, children, elders,
cats in disguise, and Fey-blooded humans,
wolves, bards, dragons,
gardeners, herbalists, corporate executives,
changelings, tricksters, moon-children, star-children,
and so many more of you,
you are awake now.
Come unto me, come home to me, I am your Mother,
and I will protect you, uphold you,
tutor you until your starlit blood shines
like the milky way in all its immense luminosity.
Dance with me! I have been lonely for my children.
But you are awake now, so come to me, my Faerie children.
The new Fey tribe begins—a mystical global village.

This course delves into the full version of the vision and responds to the Faerie Queen’s call. We go home to reside within Her love and care. And we enter a global Fey community.

Before I offered this class for the first time, I’d waited lifetimes for the Fey-spark in humans to fully re-ignite. More and more, the ancient starlit blood came forward. Finally, momentum hit critical mass; Fairy magic was thoroughly awake in huge numbers of people. Fey-touched! This left us with new questions:

* Have you sensed shifts in the human/plant/mineral psyche?

* What do you require for self-healing, prosperity, and great sex during present times?

* Are your mystical aspects desperately needed by everyone right now, including by you?

* Would you like to learn how to (better) use your new/old/undiscovered/shifted powers, both magical and mundane?

* Is Paganism too dogmatic, not pagan enough? Do you long for fellowship that supports unique visions?

* How can mystics—ranging from activists to quiet magicians—come together to love, celebrate, and protect Gaia?

* Can Gaia—can we—be happy, or even survive, without such a tribe happening globally?

To address all these concerns, I developed a curriculum that has fresh ideas and innovative magic that help us embody the answers to these questions.

That’s how this course was born, revealing unprecedented steps and new approaches to be taken.

Various individuals copied the course’s title or other parts of the event’s announcements and used the imitations for their retreat, course, blog, or book. My vision for a new way of being had such relevance that it was receiving a lot of attention. So some people wanted to seem like they could teach the same thing. No imitator can teach the original, life-changing, reality-shifting material but me.

Included are lessons about how to be your style Faerie shaman. Faerie is filled with different places, each special. One is your home. This class helps you go home. If you’re already home, you’ll learn (more) about its unique magic and spirituality, and how to use them practically to empower your mundane life.

The curriculums in The Practical Fairy Witch Mystic Training culminate decades of work. Rewrite your DNA with me and break through to the stars. You’ll create previously-impossible possibilities for yourself, Gaia, and all beings.

Creating Come Home to the Faerie Queen lessons inspired me to develop the other courses in this series. Now, we’ll use the beginning as the end—the instigating course is now the culminating one. The juicy beginning can be even juicier magic after the other three courses are taken.

Four Master-of-the Arts Magics
Will Fuel Your Success

The price for the event is a deal because I bring four Master-of-the Arts magics to this eight-month shamanic journey. I do a lot to ensure Fairy magic enchants your life:

1) Twenty-Nine Oral Tradition Lessons

Each meeting is not only a lesson but also a ritual because traditional shamanic lessons include material taught experientially. I use master-level Witchcraft techniques to create ceremonies safe for beginners and substantive enough for adepts.

Drawing on ancient transformative practices and ancestral wisdoms, I developed innovative modalities and theories.

Enrollment is limited so we can work in Fairy oral tradition, which happens in small groups, and in which headway can happen quickly. Limited enrollment also allows participants to request individualized support. Authentic connectivity.

A shamanic journey is personal. Traditional shamanic lessons include individualized attention, which tailors the training to you. In-depth guidance.

2) Every Week, I Do a Spell For Your Success

I cast spells that give you good luck, add power to your efforts to improve your life, strengthen the magic of our meetings, make life safer, awaken your magic to its next level of power, and awaken your mundane strengths further too.

Good luck can be required to create the life and state of mind you want. The spells I’ll cast give you so much luck.

They also adapt to your needs automatically (instead of me arrogantly deciding what you need), e.g., prosperity, personal growth, physical health, peace, business opportunities, confidence.

The spells adapting to your needs means they not only create specific benefits but also bless you as a whole being and enrich your entire life.

3) Psychic Readings about Your Goals

During at least one meeting per course (and likely several in each course), you receive a psychic reading about how you can best implement the lessons, apply them to your specific situations, or otherwise use them. This might include uncovering and overcoming blocks to the life you want.

No matter how serious, complex, sophisticated, or unusual, I will address your circumstances and personal state.

4) One-on-one support by phone. I’m available should you need a private discussion, or if something comes up during a group meeting that would take too long to discuss during the meeting.

Mysticism is practical. It can transform you and your life in ways nothing else can. My approach has changed person after person’s life substantially for the better.

Reviews:

“Life-changing. I don’t have words adequate to thank you. … One of the most deeply meaningful experiences of my life.”—Melissa

“I am truly blown away at how much I was able to resolve and heal.”—Chad Woodward

“My life just seems to go better when I’m taking one of your classes!”—Shauna Farabaugh

Total cost for eight months of Faerie Shamanism training—29 classes, 29 weeks of my spells for you, psychic readings, and one-on-one support—is $200 a month. Your carrier might charge you for the calls into the lessons.

I don’t know when or if I’ll teach this series again. I’d guess the last time I taught Faeries Love Gaia was in 2007, Center and Circumference in 2010, Myth, Body, Gaia, and Faerie in 2014, and Come Home in 2015.

A lot was shifting in the Faerie and mundane worlds, so I
originated these classes. I saw that new methods were needed to work toward your happiness right to the finish line. The same goes for human rights and care of our planet.
