Each rune represents a specific concept during divination but as complex as those concepts can be in isolation\, reading runes can sometimes feel like answering a question without using any verbs. Weaving those concepts into living energies is what brings momentum and clarity to readings. Storytelling is an ancient tradition that has supported learning\, sharing\, and deepening our understanding of the world since the earliest days of humanity. This class explores the runes of the Northumbrian futhark through the lens of a storyteller and breaths new life into runic divination. Learn a modern approach to working with runic energies and gain a deeper understanding of the way that these energies shape our lives.

Things start off with exercises on how to sense\, move\, and manipulate energy\, both in yourself and with others. Once the class has a good sense on how energy “feels”\, we will cover the importance of grounding and shielding\, and provide lessons for those who struggle with either or both of these techniques. In closing\, we will discuss the very important issue of ethical energy work. Why? Because unless energy work is done ethically\, then regardless of one’s intentions\, that work may not simply fail\, but potentially cause unintended harm.

In this class we will discuss queer deities throughout history as well as the ancestors that can be drawn upon outside of bloodlines. We will explore queering and queered magics\, from turning rituals that already exist into ones that center queer experience\, to creating or embracing rituals and paths specifically for those of us who walk these paths. Let us acknowledge the power of being outside of\, living between\, or embracing multiple layers of orientation\, identity\, and experience. This class is open to anyone drawn to learn more about these topics\, share their own personal experiences\, be around peers\, or become an ally through looking at the expansive nature of magic beyond boundaries.

There is no standard way to organize the runes or determine which is read first\, which leads to a variety of unique styles and approaches. The variety and freedom of reading runes is a beautiful part of their use as a divinatory tool but can be energetically taxing for the reader or lead to answers feeling incomplete. The 8 Paths Method is a modern framework\, developed based on channeled inspiration from Odin. The system involves casting runes onto the 8 Paths Rune Mat and interpreting each cluster of runes created. Join Oak the Nameless to discover how this new technique can enhance your readings and strengthen your relationships with the runes themselves. Participation in Class 1: The Runes as a Story is recommended but not required.

This course bridges historical research\, sociology\, and the evolution of spiritual practice\, tracing how a cultural phenomenon transformed the way humanity views life\, death\, and communication with the unseen.\nWe will examine the movement’s origins\, from the foundational codification of Spiritism by Allan Kardec in France to the global obsession with séances and spirit manifestations. Rather than looking at these events in a vacuum\, we will analyze the socio-political climates—including the devastating losses of major wars—that turned mediumship from a parlor curiosity into a profound spiritual movement seeking verifiable proof of survival.\nIn this course\, we will explore:\nThe Foundations of Spiritism: A deep dive into Allan Kardec’s codification\, the "Spiritualist craze" triggered by the Fox Sisters\, and how the movement spread across Europe and the Americas.The Mechanics of Evidential Mediumship: How the focus shifted from physical phenomena (like table-tipping and ectoplasm) to \;evidential \;mediumship—delivering specific\, verifiable facts to prove the continuity of consciousness.Grief\, War\, and Spiritualism: How the mass casualties of the American Civil War and World War I fueled a societal need for contact with the afterlife\, reshaping religious landscapes.This course is ideal for practitioners looking to ground their understanding of mediumship in historical truth and primary source evidence. Come prepared to uncover the lineage of modern spiritual practice.\n\n CATEGORIES:WORKSHOP LOCATION:Poolside Pavillion\, Camp Ramblewood\, Darlington\, MD USA SEQUENCE:0 UID:909e756ec88abaad052b32f40117da45 URL:http://freespiritgathering2026.sched.com/event/909e756ec88abaad052b32f40117da45 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260727T004141Z DTSTART:20260806T153000Z DTEND:20260806T163000Z SUMMARY:Brunch DESCRIPTION:\n CATEGORIES:COMMON LOCATION:Dining Hall\, Camp Ramblewood\, Darlington\, MD USA SEQUENCE:0 UID:e7fb22e5f689e9a73236ae89b90d1476 URL:http://freespiritgathering2026.sched.com/event/e7fb22e5f689e9a73236ae89b90d1476 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260727T004141Z DTSTART:20260806T170000Z DTEND:20260806T183000Z SUMMARY:Introduction to The Restoration of All Things DESCRIPTION:In this ritual we find meaning by engaging with opposition and hardship to restore ourselves and the world to spiritual wholeness.  \;The Restoration of all Things was a 19th century Mormon vision for binding the past to the present to unite all people in justice\, righteousness\, and in harmony with the Earth. This is a principle from my Mormon origins that still serves me well in these difficult times.  \; \;\nThis ritual includes stories\, songs\, and sharing of foods that are symbolic of the Mormon past. It is structured like a Jewish Passover seder that includes time for questions and discussion.  \;\nMormonism in the 19th century was a radical//liberal religious alternative to mainstream American Christianity.  \;The principles taught and practiced in those times were rejected by mainstream America and the Mormons were forced to flee to the Great Basin in the West. Decades later Mormonism was forced to assimilate to American mainstream culture. Now is a good time to look at this alternative spiritual path not taken.

Yet the Western lens most of us were born into conflicts and interferes with that animism in ways that we may not be aware of. Reclaiming and deepening our understanding of animist principles and cosmology can inform and transform our spiritual practice and our daily lives.

In this workshop\, we will learn about about the Three Harpers and their music. We'll listen to and dance to the different strains of music to connect more deeply with the three noble strains. Then we will journey to the Three Harpers to see what guidance\, healing\, and wisdom they have to share with us. \;Wear comfortable clothing and bring a journal/pen\, something to cover your eyes (scarf\, bandana\, eye mask)\, something to sit on/lie on\, and water to drink.

These can be members of the FSG community (please message me if you would like someone honored from our tribe)\, Elders who shaped your Path and you admired\, any family\, friends\, teachers or creatures who have crossed beyond the veil. Bring pictures or any mementos you see fit\, we will add them to the Altar. Then we will make a Circle and send them intentions. We will also have call-outs to those we think of extemporaneously.\n \;\nThis is both a remembrance and a chance for healing advice. If anyone is having challenges or triggers regarding a loss or a trauma\, we can discuss those\, too. Both Pagan and Mundane support will be discussed\, and my grief book will also be available for purchase.

It is the way we consciously engage the life force — known across cultures as energy\, chi\, spirit\, or the living dynamo that moves through all things. As part of the natural order\, we are not separate from this power\; ritual is how we remember our place within it.\n\n\nIn this workshop\, we’ll explore how sacred space is created not by tools alone\, but through intention\, presence\, and imagination — our most powerful and often overlooked ritual instrument. Together we’ll examine how ritual opens a shared field where connection\, meaning\, and transformation can arise.\n\n\nSuitable for both beginners and ritual veterans\, this session offers practical insight\, hands-on exploration\, and renewed perspective on why ritual works\, how it binds us together\, and how to consciously shape space that supports magic\, devotion\, and change.

Like most pre-Christian religions\, we’re missing a lot of information about the mechanics of how this ritual was performed. Modern Seidr is an amalgamation of historical information\, lore\, and seership techniques that come from contemporary sources. This Seidr ritual includes elements from Eric the Red’s Saga\, The Eddas\, The Saga of Hervor (“hairvore”) and Heidrek (“heydrick”)\, and more.\nBefore the Christian conversion\, Seidr or Spae rituals were performed for a community by a traveling priestess known as a Volva and her assistants. These rites were an opportunity for people to gain information. People would seek information for their communities\, like how to end a famine or plague\, as well as for themselves\, like when they would marry or have a child. In the contemporary version of this ritual\, anyone\, regardless of gender identity\, can serve as a seer.
