Introduction to Pendulums Class
This is going to be a great class and I'm sure we will also have a lot of fun! If you want to learn how to better use a pendulum, start a divination practice, communicate with spirits, or just learn how to use a pendulum to do fortune readings at your annual Halloween party, then this class is for you!
I can take payment either in cash at the time of the class, you can mail a check or money order early if you like, or I can also take payment through Paypal. I do have 10 people currently signed up - so we are getting close to the limit!
Light refreshments will be provided. This is also a great opportunity to network and socialize!
Also I have my favorite candle maker who will be bringing some candles we are designing specifically for divination use, along with some of her popular fall scents.

Newest Book - Goodbye Grandmother – Out Now!
Goodbye Grandmother!
By Kerri Connor
Goodbye Grandmother is the story of eleven year old Hope who is getting ready to attend the Wiccan funeral rite of her beloved Grandmother. Although Hope has attended ritual with her family in the past and her mother is the High Priestess of the grove they practice with, this is the first time Hope has attended a funeral rite and is, needless to say, sad and nervous at the same time.
This story is intended for intermediate children readers as it does contain difficult situations that are harder for younger children to understand. As death is something that affects all of us at one time, or another, this is an important story for children to know there is someone else out there in the world that feels as they do. This is a story that parents should share with a child on it’s first reading, and can then be referred back to as a child goes through the grieving process of losing a loved one. Parts of the story can be read to younger children, with the parents editing out those sections they feel the need to pass on, depending on the age of the child.

Crochet Crone
This is an actual real life friend of mine, and her products are really pretty cool! I myself can’t crochet, do a little knitting, but that’s about it, but Lori has created Pagan and Wiccan themed crochet patterns. You can purchase the patterns on her site, or hire her to create the piece for you – imagine you’re own Blessed Be afghan to cuddle up with this winter! And of course the second link is to her blog so you can check that out too!
