A Journey with the Animals Through the Chakras

Wiccans
believe that all things have energy and that living things have a
spiritual component. We believe that we are connected to the planet in
both a physical and spiritual way. Each plant has a plant spirit that is
both individual to that plant and a larger "plant consciousness" that
is specific to plants of that species. That plant consciousness is what
we will journey to meet.
This course is designed as a companion course with the Sophomore Year and a Day course. It will progress through the chakras as W201 does. We will explore the spirits that are connected to herbs associated with each chakra through guided meditations, historical and metaphysical studies, and mythology and folk lore. This is not a shamanic class, but we will discuss some of those principles during the course as they relate to Wiccan practices.
Pre-requisites: Current or past student accepted into W201 - A Year and a Day or permission of the instructor.
- Teacher: Kara D Williams
