There is knowing, and then there is Knowing.

Come visit Blackbird's Daughter Botanicals on the New Moon for a magical evening as we explore some of the many ways to find insight, wisdom, and direction amidst the chaos and uncertainty of life. Whether you’re used to working with cards and runes or a total newbie, come prepared to open yourself to powerful new ways of Knowing!

Together, we’ll practice using rune stones and oracle cards to help determine where to channel your energy, where and when to “let go”, and guide you on the next right step of your journey. We’ll dive into the archetypal duality of “shadow” and “light” as it pertains to pulling a card or throwing a stone in Contrary Position. Very important, we’ll talk about what it’s like to see the world in ways that others might not understand, how to ethically hold what you learn, and how to protect yourself during the process. At the end of the class, we’ll do a group reading, either with runes, cards, or both.

Everyone will create a Wisdom Card to place on your altar, in your car, or wherever you need a reminder of your own inner truth. No artistic skill is required!

Feel free to bring your own oracle decks to share with the group, as well as an item of personal significance to place on our group altar (you will take both home with you).

Goddesses honored: Pythea, oracle of Delphi and Thesan, Etruscan goddess of dawn, divination, and childbirth.

Cost: $25-65 sliding scale, all materials included. No one turned away for lack of funds. Please prepurchase; space is limited.
