What if you could meet eclipse season not with hesitation, but with presence - and stop bracing for its chaos, trusting instead in what your craft is capable of in the dark?

Eclipse seasons have long been cloaked in fear - whispers of chaos, warnings to step back, and superstitions that tell us to still our magick. But what happens when we peel back those inherited beliefs and meet the eclipse not as a threat, but as a potential threshold?

In this class we'll explore the roots of eclipse suspicion, diving into historical, cultural, and folkloric narratives that have shaped modern magickal caution. We'll ask: where did these stories come from? Who benefits from Witches being afraid of their power in the dark? And how might our craft shift if we approached these powerful moments with curiosity, clarity, and trust?

This class is grounded in discussion, personal reflection, and practical engagement. You'll be invited to examine your own relationships with eclipse energy, explore alternative magickal approaches, and consider how to stay rooted in practice even when the skies - and your inner world - are in flux. You'll leave not with rigid rules, but with tools: anchoring practices, magickal approaches, and energetic insights that honor the eclipse as both mirror and portal.

This is a class for Witches who feel the pull of the in-between - who long to stay grounded when the sky shifts, and who are ready to claim the fierce, wild magick that eclipses offer. It's especially for those who've ever felt uncertain or hesitant about eclipse season and want to transform that caution into empowered connection.

Journals, a workbook, and writing utensils will be provided, but you're welcome to bring your own if you have a preference. The space allows for free movement and flexible seating - no one is expected to sit in a chair (or even sit at all). Participants are encouraged to bring what supports their body and attention: yoga mats, cushions, blankets, or anything else that helps you stay present. Movement during the class is welcome, so long as it remains respectful and non-disruptive to the group.

Step into the wild magick of eclipse seasons. Work with the raw, untamed force of the eclipse - moving past fear and into deep presence, clarity, and transformation in the heart of the storm.

Lysandra was introduced to witchcraft by their grandmother—long before either had words for what they were doing. Over the past twenty years, their craft has become something raw, devotional, and deeply personal, woven from intuition, ancestral memory, and the energy of transformation. As a queer, neurodivergent, and disabled Witch, Lysandra feels most at home in the liminal and the chaotic—when the world is off-kilter and magick speaks loudest.

They work closely with divine allies such as The Morrigan, Persephone, and Loki (as a family deity), and draw strength from crystal companions like hematoid quartz, black moonstone, and red opal. Their magic is protective, instinctive, and intentionally unpredictable—shaped by personal gnosis and attuned to the present moment.

For Lysandra, witchcraft isn't just a practice—it’s an identity. Claiming the title Witch is a radical, sacred act that challenges stereotypes and systems of control. They are committed to creating space for others whose witchcraft doesn’t always fit the mold, holding each path—quiet or rebellious—as worthy and sacred.

After two decades of solitary practice—an exploration of identity and witchcraft in a world set against both—Lysandra found their voice and purpose. That time was a descent: deep and necessary, shaped by spellcraft, shadow-walking, and sacred listening, where their path took shape in the dark. Now, as the seasons turn, they step into community with intention, offering the magick that grew wild behind closed doors.
