📜 Course Description

Life and death, form and flow — between them lies the sacred threshold where all transformation begins.

Blood & Bone: Ancient Rites for Modern Magick is an immersive course exploring two of the oldest and most potent symbols in magick — the pulse of blood and the permanence of bone. Across twelve deeply reflective lessons, students will step into the liminal spaces where vitality and mortality converge, learning to honour, reinterpret, and safely engage with these ancient currents in modern practice.

Through study, meditation, and guided symbolic ritual, you will uncover how blood and bone have been used throughout history as vessels of power, memory, and devotion — and how these same principles can be expressed through ethical, symbolic, and deeply personal magick today.

This course weaves together elements of shamanic, ancestral, and ceremonial practice, offering an experience that is both profound and practical. Here, students will discover that true magick is not found in the act of offering blood or bone, but in awakening the sacred life-force and timeless remembrance that flow within us all.

✨ By the end of the course, students will:

• Understand the historical, spiritual, and symbolic roles of blood and bone in global magickal traditions.

• Explore the liminal relationship between life, death, and transformation.

• Create sacred space for deep and safe ritual practice.

• Learn ethical methods of symbolic offering, consecration, and empowerment.

• Develop personal rites and devotional practices rooted in vitality, ancestry, and reverence.

• Integrate ancestral wisdom and spirit communion into ongoing magickal development.
