Writing for Witches, YES!

I am so very excited to announce that Sophia Bonnie Wodin and I will be offering a six-week course in May called “Writing for Witches.”  We have designed the curriculum specifically for people who wish to write both as witches and for witches.  Each class will focus on a specific topic and will also offer writing prompts that will inspire us to work magic with our words and bring us face to face with our willingness to write for ourselves, our communities and the health of Mother Earth.

There is so much we could have covered, but we managed to distil it into the following themes and topics:  

1. Mythic musings (finding and calling a magical writer’s ally, working with fairy tales and myths)  
2. Working as a creative ally for the natural world (eco poetry and prose) 
3. Writing for your magical practice (spells, blessings, writing by the cycles of the moon) 
4. Writing for ritual (meditations, element calls, honouring deity) 
5. Finding community and sharing your work (how to set up a writing blog, using social media, getting published) 
6. Final Bardic Circle to share and celebrate our writing. 

It is our sincere hope that we can inspire and support more witches to write and to share their work, especially during these challenging times. However, we think that no matter what your interest as a writer or your practice as a witch, this course will offer something new for you to learn.
