Cultivating the Fire of Piety - Rev. Michael J Dangler

Piety is one of those odd words in Paganism: each of us has a
slightly different notion of what it means. This workshop is about
right action, walking the walk, and showing your devotion with
excellence. It is a guide to creating and challenging your own
personal devotional practice, with an emphasis on taking action in
your personal religious life. This workshop will help you create
exercises to help you deepen the practice you've built: increasing
regularity, scheduling, defining your audience, working with others.
It's a discussion of things to do rather than things to believe.

The Importance of Trance, or Gnosis in Magickal Workings - April Ford

The workshop I want to do is regarding the importance of Trance, or Gnosis in Magickal Workings and I will outline different techniques for getting into Trance. I would LIKE to touch on some of the more hard-core practices just for informative reasons, such as thw use of extreme pain and fasting combined with extreme physical activity to get into trance during the Sioux Sun Dance Ceremony. But I want to more strongly emphasize ways modern folk living in the so-called "Civilized" world can use trance in todays modern settings in the privacy of their own homes or gathering places and still be able to go to work on Monday Morning.
