SassyCon 2025

Within the magickal tradition of Modern Totemism, the nine animal totems we each carry within us are our connection to the foundational aspects of magick. And yet, it can be challenging to connect with our totems, especially in the beginning. How can we learn what our totems are and how can we bring them forward? One method is Shamanic Journeying, a type of active meditation ritual that helps one access the spiritual worlds both within and without. Join Stephanie Brown, co-creator of Modern Totemism and the author of the 2019 book The Modern Totemist, and learn how to Shamanic Journey. You will be guided through a basic Shamanic Journey ritual to bring one of your totem animals forward. We will also discuss Shamanic Journeying as part of neo-Shamanism and Core-Shamanism to give participants the basic knowledge they need to begin incorporating Shamanic Journeying into their spiritual practice.
