Group Evocation Ritual
Evocation is the art of "summoning forth entities" into external form for the purpose of communicating with them. When a group of magicians works together to summon forth an entity, what do you call it? A shared thought-form? An egregore? A god or goddess? Using simple and powerful methods, Phil will offer you the opportunity to ask the entity itself what it wants to be called! This form of group evocation is not only exciting and powerful - it is safe and easily learned for your own use, in other settings, with groups or alone.
Hedonic Engineering
Back in the dawn of time, the owner's manual for human consciousness was somehow lost. Consider this workshop as the restoration of a couple of pages from that mythical text. Did you know that the human brain is able to create lasting change in itself quickly and easy? Did you know that it's a very simple matter to feel good - whenever you want? Techniques to create and manage wonderful feelings will be demonstrated - with an eye (or other body part) aimed toward applying them to magick, so get ready to enjoy yourself - now!
