Mystic South

This workshop begins with importance of sovereignty in Irish mythology, focusing on Macha, and then continues on to the importance of self-sovereignty, and the ways in which our modern society attempts to undermine it. We'll have a brief discussion of the ways in which we are othered as pagans, witches, queer folx, people of color, neurodivergent or disabled people, etc and how we can use the insight those experiences give us, and turn it into power.
Then I'll lead a guided journey to the fort of Emhain Macha, where we will meet Macha herself, tending an outdoor cauldron. Each person will add one etheric food item representing their Otherness to the cauldron of stew, adding sustenance to the pot, and will then ladle out a bowl to eat, returning their Otherness to themselves as the power and strength of personal sovereignty supported by a diverse community.
