Babylonian magic is the source of all traditions of ceremonial magick as we know it now, the first in recorded human history developed around the dawn of the cuneiform script, near the invention of the written word, and the source of the magical current.

Standing at the Threshold: The Spirits, Lore, and Transformational Magics of the Doorway

Saturday May 10, 2025 10:45am - 12:00pm CDT

St. Ann's Cottage #1

Many who have an inclination towards magic may not have a room or dedicated space set aside for performing spellwork and ritual workings. However, most of us have a front door, and it is here that we are invited to engage with and perhaps re-enchant a part of our homes which is often taken for granted except when we find ourselves locked out or fumbling with our keys. In this talk we will explore the front doorway of our home as a locus for spirit work, practical charming, and magical workings. We will examine diverse perspectives, folklore, and approaches towards engaging with our doorway as a nexus of power and potentiality. This work is practical, effective, and at times incredibly illuminating and enriching. And may be seen as an extension of working with and relating to the home as both a spiritual entity and an ecosystem of spirits that we might better know and form closer relations with.
