Deities, Dedicants, Contracts and Boundaries

The word “dedicant” refers to a particular kind of relationship to a noncorporeal being. Many Pagans and witches serve gods, ancestors, land spirits, Good Folk, or some combination of all of those. Sometimes, the cocreative relationship with one particular being becomes the primary focus or fulcrum of devotional paganism. When that occurs, the practitioner in question may be considered to be a Dedicant of the being at the center of their devotion. Explore the different forms dedicant relationships take, health and safety when working closely with noncorporeal spirits, practices that support good communication, and implicit and explicit spirit contracts.

This workshop will be recorded for folks who can't make the Zoom in person, and sent out for download after the workshop concludes.
