Folk Magic Fundamentals

  • Folk magic, which is also sometimes referred to as “low magic,” is rooted in practical magical remedies and rituals that are meant to help us live well. Folk Magic Fundamentals is intended to teach you methods for magical living that honors where you live, your own heritage, and the spirits that exist all around you.

    Through Folk Magic Fundamentals, Sterling offers several short, seasonal or themed, series of classes that are held throughout the year. The specifics of each class series change and evolve, just as our practices do throughout the year.

    Folk magic requires hands-on work, so you will be offered ways that you can start making this work personal right from the start.

Folk Magic for a Fight

The waitlist is open for the first Folk Magic Fundamentals class of 2025 ~ Folk Magic for a Fight.

Comprised of four classes over eight weeks, we’ll talk about magical and mundane strategies for getting clear on what you want to fight, working with spirits in your resistance work, maintaining your own resilience, and coalition building and organizing. 

We’re blending the magical with the practical throughout this whole series. 

The break weeks will offer suggestions for getting to work and there will be perks offered throughout the course to incentivize taking additional actions like contacting your members of Congress, rallying folks in your communities, and more. Class starts 3/27 and ends on 5/1. Waitlist price will be $125 ($175 full price). There will, as usual, be a special price for SMDA alumni and paid members of the Patreon.

Registration opens 3/1.

May your roads be open, your hearts strong, and your hands extended to lift one another up.
