Workshop Course in Egyptian Magic

In this course, you'll investigate some of the feline and leonine gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt, with a particular emphasis on Bast and Sekhmet.

The course incorporates a lot of the material covered in Storm's book Bast and Sekhmet, and involves many colourful visualised path-workings to ancient temples.

One session also covers Storm's system of Sekhem Heka, which is a form of Sekhem healing. Although this might be of particular interest to Reiki practitioners, the session is designed so students without this kind of training can benefit from the class just as much as those who have.
