Launching January 29th: a multi-week intensive from the other side of Mir's teaching brain (Patreon)

Some of you know that I've been teaching in witchy woo-woo, magick and occult topics for even longer than I've been teaching in kink -- about twenty years as an instructor, and closer to thirty as a public ritualist in my primary traditions.

Often in the cooler months -- when I'm not as busy with kink events -- I pull out some of my magick classes and offer them through the Grounds for those who are also interested in this stuff. (Fun fact: the kink community tends to have both more secularists and more pagan folks than the population at large.)

Everyone tends to have a specialty or favorite area, and mine tends to be an eclectic mix of kabbalah and what we used to call chaos magick: so you'll see a lot of my classes popping up lately on things like kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, and sigils. I have to put that Jewish Studies major in college to use somehow!

Like kink, I don't teach kabbalah because it was an easy first fit. My first reaction -- when a friend suggested I start studying thirty years ago -- was that I didn't want to learn a lot of "archetypal, patriarchal bullshit." Well . . . famous last words. Now, the core work of kabbalah is the stuff I can teach in my sleep. It's the structure that I used to organize my thoughts, without thinking about it too much. As Zalman Schachter-Shalomi might say, it's as close to me as breathing in is to breathing out.

If you're called to this kind of work, and think it might be easiest to learn from someone like me, we have several opportunities coming up -- including the huge omnibus course that I only offer every 3-5 years. Here are a few classes that might be relevant to your interests:

• Multi-week January 29th - March 15th: ​All the Kabbalah You Really Need to Know (in 7.2 Hours or Less). ​ This six-week course includes pretty much all of the material that will be covered in our regular classes, so if you take this one there's no need to take the others below.
• January 16th 7pm PDT: ​All the Kabbalah You Really Need to Know in 72 Minutes or Less​. My core class.
• January 20th 2pm PDT: ​Sex Magick for Kinksters​. If you can do kink, you can easily learn how do to magick.
• January 27th 11am PDT (4.5 hour class): ​Kabbalah for Tarot, Tarot for Kabbalists. ​Bring your deck, and learn a new framework for letting tarot cards tell you their stories.
• February 22nd 7p PST: ​Put a Sigil On It! ​Learn the most common and practical technique for channeling sex magick energies.

If you are also a bit woo -- or just curious, or just think this is all a metaphor for how the brain works -- I hope to see you in one or more of these classes!

Warmly

Mir
