- Class Description: A workshop that will serve as an intro into creating your own spells and rituals. This will approach magic from a sympathetic and ingredient-based system, like those found in Cunningham's Encyclopedias, however we will also discuss the importance of personal associations, cultural beliefs surrounding the ingredients, and how to use them more deeply than surface level keywords. Various casting methods will also be discussed. We will also discuss various ways spells fail, how to address those issues. I will demonstrate the process of creating a spell or ritual from scratch to show my thought process and answer questions while doing so and will provide a basic template for students to keep for future use.
