Going with the flow of the seasonal and zodiac cycles has an important place within Ozark folk magic, both traditional and modern. It’s generally believed that if you’re able to fit your work perfectly within these cycles of auspiciousness, you won’t have to work so hard in your spells and rites. In this class, we’ll look at the different types of magic that can be worked at different times of the year, taking into consideration the seasonal cycles, moon phases, zodiac moon cycles, weekly cycles of the days, and even the cycles found within the day itself. All are welcome, no matter what your practice looks like, Ozarkers or not, beginner or expert.

One of the most interesting areas within Ozark folk magic is the connection to the four elements of nature. The four elements of fire, air, water, and earth serve as a modular basis for all forms of Ozark magic, from cleansing and protection to retribution and spirit work. In this class, we’ll look at how to utilize the correspondences of the four elements to address specific needs that arise within our practice. We’ll look in more depth at the idea of elemental oppositions as well as how to let the elements determine the form and ingredients of any ritual. All are welcome, no matter what your practice looks like, Ozarkers or not, beginner or expert.
