The AWC is a residential event where attendees must pre-register and pre-pay. Bookings close 18th August, 2017. See website for details.

This year’s AWC will delve deeply into the history, ritual use, methods and personal stories of summoning and invocation with the theme of “To Summon, Stir and Call Thee Up”. The lectures, discussions, presentations, panels and workshops on offer have been grouped into four main streams of study. These are:

Approaches To Paganism
This stream explores the different ways in which we may approach our practices. It will examine some of the different meanings, folkloric aspects, iconography, secrecy and personal experiences of different practitioners and paths. See Workshops…

Magic and Spell Crafting
From making magical objects to pinpointing the perfect time to perform a ritual, this stream focuses on some of the more practical aspects of our paths. Some objects created in the workshops will be used in the Main Ritual. See Workshops…

Rituals and Ritual Techniques
The presenters in this stream will draw upon their own ritual experiences and explorations to provide information and discussion around enhancing ritual practice and design. Some of the techniques examined in this stream will be incorporated into the Main Ritual. See Workshops…

This stream will also explore both the history, and modern depictions, of Summoning and Invocation.
