We began Wolves and Stars Module Two by stating our intention as we engage with this program. We write it down and spoke it out loud.

Then, we turn our focus onto Place. Beginning with the practice of Cultivating Calmness, we learn to place ourselves in time beyond time and space beyond space. Next, we work on Grounding, Centering, and Anchoring and discovering our unique and specific place here and now.

After getting familiar with the magical practices of Cultivating Calmness, Grounding, Centering, and Anchoring, we look at the specificity of place, learning about geographical features that have long been considered sacred and discovering which of those features are present where we live.

We then expand our understanding of sacred space by exploring magical microcosms. Learn how to build and work with an altar, and how to make a sacred vessel.

In Module Three we begin by focusing on both the inner and outer presence of the element of Air.

Our outer relationship with Air begins to develop as we work through our correspondences, while our inner relationship focuses on our breath through the Blessed Body Breath practice.

We discover our innate abilities to see, sense, feel, and know forces that may be invisible but are nonetheless present leading up to the practice of Apprehending of our Astral Bodies. We develop the idea of the Unseen more fully, calling in the faculty of active imagination to assist us.

We also have the opportunity to reflect on how time and space become much more permeable during Active Imagination Meditations and we learn to work with that Active Imagination to create powerful and protective Shields.

As we round out Module Three, we return from our inner focus and again began to look outward at the ways in which two of the primary magical tools of Air: pen and paper, might be worked with in the form of petitions, prayers, and magical squares.

At the beginning of Module Four we dance with the element of Fire and  focus on deepening our relationship with that element through considering the correspondences.

Next, we consider what “energy” actually means and what “running energy” means in a Sacred Arts context. We experience Parts One and Two of the Radiant Heart Rite AIM, and we discover how to maintain boundaries that mean something. We learn about the Sacred  Art of magical protection.

We then move on to develop a deeper relationship to our passions, working with feelings of anger and sexual arousal and placing them firmly within the Sacred Arts experience. We also began to consider our relationship to the Divine and Spirit and began getting a sense of what devotion really looks like for us. Part Three of the Radiant Heart Rite is performed during this time.

Finally, we expand our awareness of the element of Fire by exploring Candle Magic from top to bottom!

Module Five begins with a deep dive into our relationship with the element of Water through considering the correspondences that align with us for this element. We then look at the difference between Intuition, Impulse, and Instinct. We continue our deep work with Intuition by looking at the Sacred Arts of prophecy and divination as well as exploring our own deep well of Intuition.

No deep dive on Intuition would be complete without some considerations on dreams so we learn how to work with our dreams, create a bedtime ritual and encounter the Queen of Dreams in an AIM. Finally, we learn all about the magical side of the element of Water by exploring potions, sacred waters, washes, and spiritual bathing.

We encounter themes of Necessity, Sovereignty, and Authenticity along the way as we clean out our own horror stories and learn to identify the needed medicines for healing and repair.

Module Six takes us out of the classic four element model and moves us into the realm of Below.

Here we learn about the themes and patterns of the Underworld. We began exploring our relationship to this element through working with the correspondences that resonate for and to us. The process of dying, the care taken after death for both deceased and living ones, and the ceremonies surrounding death and dying were considered in depth during this module. Ancestors and the concept of lineage are explored as well.

We learn traditions for honoring and relating to Ancestors and we also learned how to begin exploring our lineage and all the ways it effects our present experiences and our future legacy. We culminate this work with a potent Ancestor Encounter and are given tools to plan our own magical and meaningful memorial.

Continuing with our “extra elements”, what is Below is reflected by what is Above and it is the element of Above that we focus on in our last module. We begin by discovering some of the themes of the Heavens and the realm of Above. We also began to identify what our relationship with the realm of Above is as we worked through our correspondences.

We then engage with the longest AIM within Wolves and Stars, the Descent and Ascent, where we learned to dscend and come back up from the realm of Below.

We discover the roles that our descendants play and ways that we can consciously craft our legacy, learned about angels, faeries, and creating our own personal calendar of Feast Days.

We conclude our work in this course by spending time studying the heavens, learning the basic skills of astrology and engaging in an AIM with our Celestial Spirits.
