Sorgitzak-Old Forest Craft Ritual

May 23, 2008 | 1 Comment

Much 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

Mythic Music Concert May 28th

May 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Have 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
