Airdate: Saturday October 1, 2022 Traditionally, Ozark healers and magical practitioners never separated the physical body from the mind or spirit. They were both considered together as well as remedied together. In this class we will be examining both modern and traditional methods Ozark healers have used to help balance the physical and mental zones and how we can utilize these methods today. Key areas we will look at include addressing the “burnout” of the magical practitioner (we’ve all been there), utilizing nature-based practices and meditations to balance internal strife, and taking traditional spirit work as a path to addressing “demons” within ourselves. Note, this class isn’t intended to provide any medical treatments or diagnose any mental illnesses. All methods and information derive from a folkloric, magical, and spiritual dimension alone. |

Airdate: Saturday October 15, 2022 Part two of the Otherworldly Instructions series (Part One Recording--attending part one isn’t required for this course). Ozark spirit work has addressed issues of malevolent ghosts, demons, and other entities in a variety of ways. In this class we will be looking at techniques of traditional exorcism, including methods of banishment, sealing, countering, etc. as well as compassion-based methods originating in 19th century Spiritualism and Spiritism as it mixed with Ozark folk practices. This class will include details about the entities of the Otherworld a magical practitioner might encounter, how to diagnosis spirit-influence, as well as practical techniques for either kicking the entity out or aiding them on their own spiritual journey through elevation or healing practices. |

Date: Saturday October 22, 2022
Time: 6-8pm (Central) Location: The Four of Wands, 440 N College Ave, Fayetteville, AR 72701 The Otherworld features heavily in Ozark traditions of healing and magic. In this in-person class we'll be learning about how to set up an ancestral altar/shrine and how to welcome in the ancestors and guiding spirits who want good things for you and how to keep all the others ones the heck away from your practice. And of course, we've got to talk about the other spirits we might encounter in our lives and practice--how to identify them, how to help them, and when needed how to get them to go away. This class is for all levels of practice from beginners on up. |

Airdate: Saturday November 12, 2022 In the traditional Ozark worldview, all of nature is alive with a sense of presence and spirit. This presence can take on many different forms depending upon the individual. Amongst healers and magicians, there’s an idea of this innate flow or river of life energy and magic that flows through everything in the universe. When an individual is “going with the flow” they find themselves connected to this river of magic and thereby connected to all other parts of nature as well. In this class we will be looking at how to connect to that flow of magic. We will also be delving into how the animate Ozark landscape has influenced practices of folk healing and magic as well as how modern practitioners can approach and work with the personalities of nature. |

Airdate: Saturday December 10, 2022 While the natural world has been foundational to practices of traditional Ozark folk healing and magic, so many of us today are far removed from the forested hills and hollers of our ancestors. But, as one of my favorite mentors told me, “Town is in nature too,” meaning that the flow of life and magic isn’t just in wilderness areas, but can be accessed and utilized in wondrous ways even in the concrete jungle. In this class, we will be looking at how modern Ozark practitioners have creatively utilized the urbanized landscape as a part of their practice. Specific areas will include:
