In the Name of Pride

A seven week online intensive with Karina focusing on the Pride Point of the Iron Pentacle
September 30 – November 11, 2009.

“Shake your tail feathers, baby!” The Rolling Stones

True pride is elegant and fierce. Sometimes called charisma, grandeur or brilliance, Pride calls attention to itself naturally and effortlessly. Healthy Pride is a fire burning bright within us which is uniquely our own. Fed by Passion, Power, Sex and Self, this fire burns clear and bright—illuminating all we do and are. It is Pride which allows us to identify ourselves as Divine. It is Pride which carries our Passion toward Power so it can be made manifest. In Pride we overcome the shame, fear and guilt which keep us mired in self-pity and inaction. In Pride, we draw upon our Sexual nature and deliver it to Self. In Pride we stand tall with clear eyes and magic on our tongues. Pride is a gift of the Peacock Lord. He calls to you now. Will you answer and receive? 

Join us as we journey deep into the threefold nature of our Pride. Through reading, discussion, a variety of exercises and ritual magic we will endeavor to allow pride to arise in us and find expression in thought, word and deed. Of course, we will also explore how Pride connects to the other points on our Iron Pentacle— Power, Sex, Self and Passion—informing and shaping the whole while also being fed and fashioned by them. Iron Pentacle is a dynamic magical tool for the empowerment of the Feri Witch and through us, the world we engage with.

IN THE NAME OF PRIDE is a celebration and affirmation of the three-fold spirits we are—Human, Wild and Divine. Expect the workshop to be juicy, surprising and personally revelatory. Expect to work hard and to be delighted as we come to know the Nature of Pride as it is embodied and expressed through a Self aligned with Sex, Passion and Power.

Although “In the Name of Pride” can be taken as part in a series of workshops exploring and empowering the Iron Pentacle, it is appropriate as a stand-alone workshop and there are No Pre-requisites.

I am committed to co-creating a respectful container within which to discuss all manner of topics related to Pride as well as our blocks to Pride. While this is a workshop where we will discuss and employ magic and ritual for the development of Healthy Pride, it is not group-therapy, a support or affinity group. If you are in need of psychological, medical, legal or financial advice, I strongly suggest you locate a professional who can provide those services for you.
