Intro to La Santa Muerte: the Macabre Magic of Death & Mortality
With the aesthetic of a female grim reaper, La Santa Muerte is the patron saint of sinners, death, prostitutes, the LGBT community, and social outcasts. To some, she is the sensational symbol of drug cartels, assassins, and border violence. To others, she is a dark refuge of equality, self-acceptance, and personal empowerment. Regardless, the death devotional community of La Santa Muerte is becoming one of the fastest growing underground occult movements in the U.S. and Latin America. So, come explore the clandestine Latino mysticism of this feminine Spirit of Death and discover the macabre magic of your own mortality.

The Futhark and Beyond!
If you are familiar with the Norse Runes, you know the 24 Runes of the Elder Futhark. Beyond that, there are the Younger Futhorc, The Anglo-Saxon Runes, and the Northumbrian Runes. Also, there are some random medieval Runes designated for magical purposes! Suddenly, we have 41 magical symbols to work with--which also conveniently spell words that can be used to create further magic! We'll mention a few other systemss. Come venture with me through the Aetts and meet the Runes old and new--or would that be old and older?

Indigenous Experiences Inside and Outside the Pagan Community
Indigenous individuals have long been contributors at Pantheacon, and to the community as a whole; yet are often rendered invisible in pagan spaces through pervasive stereotypes, appropriation, and lack of awareness. This panel seeks to make space for indigenous perspectives. Topics will include but are not limited to - inclusiveness, how to negotiate spiritual space, differentiating between honoring and appropriation, and how non-indigenous can be respectful of places, traditions and indigenous peoples. Time will be reserved at the end for indigenous attendees to speak as well.

When Two Worlds Touch
There are moments in which time and space is transcended and we stand at a threshold. Here we may experience insight, inspiration and guidance. A bubble has been created on the sea of unconsciousness and within it pure consciousness resides. All too soon the bubble burst and dissolves back into unconscious content leaving us with the nagging feeling that something precious has been lost or forgotten. This class will teach a technique to allow that bubble to rise up intact and to create a noticeable change in consciousness.

The Lehi Key - Mormon Mysticism
After the Age of Enlightenment, a book emerged in New England containing the vision of an ancient mystic named Lehi. 1830 years after Lehi's death, in 1260 AD, a gothic cathedral was built in Chartres, France. Stonemasons built a labyrinth pattern into the floor work encoded with symbolism. Author Kelly Child explores the symbolism and traditions of ancient Egyptians, Hebrews, alchemists, medieval Christianity, scientists and the great minds of the Age of Enlightenment that at last distilled upon the early 1800's New England as Mormon Mysticism.
