Jamie is returning to Pagan Pride LA/OC with a new workshop, Elevating Elders on This Witchcraft Journey, which will lead you on a guided journey to demonstrate the importance of mentors and elders on the Witchcraft Path. I will be using lessons from my tenth book, A Box of Magick: A Guided Journey to Crafting a Magickal life through Witchcraft, Ritual Herbalism and Spellcrafting. The twelve chapters of A Box of Magick align with the twelve steps of the Hero's Journey, the process that mythologist Joseph Campbell identified as a common path in our stories toward personal transformation. We all must first answer the call to adventure—whether to be a Witch or to live our boldest life in whatever fashion will awaken our most feral spirit. As Pagans, we collect allies in the forms of crystals, herbs, and magickal tools. After we accept the assistance of supernatural aid from the cosmos and Spirit World, we enter a mystical realm of many trials, meet our shadow (i.e., do the work), and then return with the Gift of the Goddess, the Holy Grail of our own self-knowledge and self-acceptance to share with the world.
