Piercing the Veil: Sacred Eroticism Intensive w/ Wintersong Tashlin

Saturday, 9/30

Registration: 12 PM - 12:15 PM

Introduction to Energetic Erotic Play: 12:15 - 1:45 PM

Let’s talk about sex magic with the emphasis on the ‘sex’ rather than the ‘magic.’ Theories of playing with energy and magic as another sexual tool will be followed by interactive exercises designed to teach several basic techniques at whatever your comfort level may be. In addition to how, we’ll talk about when (and when not) to include this kind of play in your sex life. Attendees will also learn the basics of safe-sex for this kind of interaction and discuss what constitutes ‘going too far.’

Intermission: 1:45 – 2:00 PM

Making Magical Sex Toys – 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

‘It’s Magic’ can be more than just a marketing slogan when it comes to sex toys. Let’s talk about some of the different ways you can use energy and magic to enhances this popular toy. You’ll learn spell work for both temporarily and permanently making your toys ‘magical,’ and some ritual/spells you can do with your newly enhanced little friends. We’ll also be talking about when it might be best to keep something in its ‘out of the box’ state and what you can do if your toys acquire a magical nature you’d rather that they didn’t have.

Intermission – 3:30 PM – 3:45 PM

Considerations for Safer Sex Magic - 4:00 – 5:30 PM

Utilizing precautions like testing, condoms, dental dams, gloves, PrEP, negotiation, and communication are all key to practicing safe sex. But what else do we need to think about when we’re talking about sex magic/ritual or incorporating energy work/play in our bedroom activities? This workshop looks at a variety of spiritual precautions, protective magics, cleansing techniques, and ways to make those mundane precautions sacred and magically charged, so safety doesn’t go out the window when the sex gets magical or devotional.

Hellmouth, An Atomic Fetish Party - 7 PM - 12 AM

Sunday, 10/1

Doors Open: 12:00 noon

The Tiniest Athame: Using Needles for Energy Work & Magic: 12:15 PM - 1:45 PM

Piercing the skin can be an intimate and powerful experience, and can lead to all sorts of reactions in both the person piercing and being pierced. But what about using the needle itself as a tool to direct energy to a purpose? In this class, we will explore ways to use needle play techniques to move energy into and out of the body or aura, perform cleansing, healing, and other forms of spell work that lend themselves well to this atypical tool. Familiarity with either needle play or energy work/magic would be helpful.

Intermission: 1:45 – 2:00 PM

Needle Predicament Bondage: 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

This intermediate to advanced class uses needles as anchors for creating deliciously devious predicaments for your bottom. Not just a replacement for ties, we’ll look at the specific advantages and unique effects you can get using needles in these types of scenes. Using body mechanics to create self-contained predicaments, as well as objects and outside points will be addressed, along with different forms of needle placements for different objectives. Come prepared to think “outside the box” and more than a little devilishly.

Intermission: 3:30 – 3:45 PM

Wielding a Red Wand: 3:45 PM - 5:15 PM

In the pagan and magical world to work with blood is considered profane by many. But just as the tools and toys we use in the Kink/BDSM worlds can be used positively or negatively, blood can be a safe and valuable magical tool. In this class, we’ll talk about how to draw and handle blood safely and cleanly as well as go over magical techniques and spell work that takes advantage of blood’s unique properties. Along the way we will discover together how to approach blood from a place of honor and sacredness and talk a bit about how it is seen both in our mundane culture and to a lesser extent in the pagan and magical communities.
