Celebrate Samhain is honored to welcome New Hampshire's own esteemed and award-winning author and Craft elder, Christopher Penczak, as 2009 Keynote Speaker. Regardless of your path, you won't want to miss Christopher's workshop, "The Witch's Shield: Protection Magick and Psychic Self-Defense".
Based on his popular book and CD compilation, this workshop addresses the genuine need for protection from such forces as physical harm; harmful energy, judgments and projections; evil eyes; time traps; psychic vampires (drainers of energy, vitality and emotion); unenlightened gurus; past life energies, and last but not least, oneself.
Learn how to protect yourself using personal energy, will, and intent. Discover how to connect with your guardian spirits, angels, and patron deities. Finally, learn how to use traditional spell craft and ritual for protection.
