Sorgitzak-Old Forest Craft Ritual

May 23, 2008 | 1 Comment

Sorgitzak - Old Forest CraftMuch has been remembered, and much has been recovered. Veronica Cummer’s new book Sorgitzak–Old Forest Craft has its source and its beginning in revealed knowledge through contact with and channeled messages from many of the Gods and Goddesses of the Sorgitza, through those who have come to be called the Fey, as well as other spirits and entities. This book is a culmination of over a decade of experience, questions, answers, and research. It provides a glimpse into the world of Witches long past. It provides the first steps in understanding once again what was lost, what was found, and what never truly left us. Find out more about the book>

Experience for Yourself

On June 7th, at 7 pm, join the author, Veronica Cummer, for an introduction to this traditional European path. She will come to sign books and answer questions. Following the signing, she will lead an OPEN RITUAL for all who wish to attend and experience firsthand, the Old Forest Craft.

Location: Eye of Horus, 2717 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55408

HowWastheShow.com

It’s an interview of Kari, where she performs two of the songs from her new 6-song Preview EP which is being released at the show on May 28th! We weren’t sure if they were going to be able to pull off the preview release in time for the show, but it is official.

The podcast is a nice introduction to Kari’s project, plus an overview of how the show will run . . . there’s also a bit of Felonious Bosch in the beginning, and a Wendy Rule song at the end.

There are still tickets available. $18 in advance, or $22 at the door. Call the Cedar Ticketline at 612-338-2674 ext 2 for tickets.

Also, as a reminder, the Eye will be closing early May 28th at 5 p.m., so we can all go to the show (it starts at 7:30, doors open at 7:00, seating is general admission)

Mythic Music Concert May 28th

May 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Wendy RuleHave you heard the tale of how this concert came together? Do you know what all the buzz is about? If you are looking for a musical journey through the Middle Ages, the Norse Sagas, or to the world of myth and back again, this is the show for you. Not only is Wendy Rule coming to Minnesota for the first time, but Kari Tauring is releasing a 6-song Preview EP of her upcoming Volva album at the concert, and Felonious Bosch is opening. It all came about because we were told that, if we could find a venue, Wendy would come.

For those of you who have never heard Wendy Rule’s spectacular voice, here are some clips of some of my favorites from her website: Artemis, Diety (an anthem of the triple goddess), and the Raven Song . . . and the Raven Song sample cuts out just when it gets good. Or, if you want to hear a full song, check out La Femme de la Mer It is a perfect example of how she likes to play with dynamics which lure you in and take you on a journey.

Rolling Stone Australia said, “Wendy Rule creates dark, sensual sonic theatre… compelling stuff.”

So you would expect someone of that caliber to be playing the State or the Orpheum, or at least 1st Ave. So what’s the deal? Why is a metaphysical store sponsoring her appearance at the Cedar? Read more

Discover Your Psychic Self

April 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Your Psychic Self CourseLong-time Eye of Horus reader Christine Schroeder has been asked numerous times if she could teach a workshop, and we finally convinced her. But it’s not just any workshop. When she was starting out, one of the things she didn’t like was going to an instructor who thought everyone should fit into a single mold . . . the instructor’s.

Chris understands that we all have different experiences and experience levels when working with intuition, and her class will not be a cookie-cutter how-to-be-psychic class. It’s more of an in depth training course of sharing her insights, tools, and techniques. She will help you to discover your own intuition–in whatever way is most natural for you.

As a result of this personalized approach, the class size will be small, and it will meet three times to allow for practice and follow-up.

This workshop series will meet on Tuesday evenings (7pm - 8:30pm), 4/29th, 5/6th, & 5/20th. The class is almost full, so we recommend you call the store now at 612-872-1292 to reserve your spot, or register online for Your Psychic Self.

Völva Staving Workshops

April 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Volva WorkshopThe Völva are women described throughout the Sagas and Eddas performing shamanic oracular work, blessings, and other ritual tasks. They are described as carrying a staff or Stav, which is the tool Kari Tauring uses in this open series of workshops. The Stav is traditionally used in herding, martial arts, and for rhythm. Stav (literally means ‘knowledge of the rune staves’) is used in Völva seidr work, the Norse Shamanic Women’s tradition.

One Saturday each month (usually the 1st–see the store calendar), Kari leads a two hour workshop to explore the history of the Völva and the uses of the Stav. We recommend you bring a staff and another stick or wand. Class size is limited to 5, so please register in advance the secure your spot. Register online or call the store at 612-872-1292.

More about the Sessions

Sessions include stretching our bodies and body mechanics, creating rhythms, warming up our voices for chants and songs, discussing the history and uses of the tool as per the topic of the month. The group will use rhythm, chant and other Read more
