ART of Becoming a Witch 7

Description

Welcome to the initial registration page for ART 7 Dragon

This is our initial outline for a fully detailed registration page which will be available mid-February. This initial page gives you the essential schedule and the opportunity to register in time for our three Prequel events in March.

The sacred purpose of The Witch Sequence is to heal the wasteland and seed the return of Her Garden of Reverence by awakening, remembering, and trusting all seven of our original sacramental WitchArt gifts. Dragon is the culmination, not just one of the gifts but the fusion of the first six into the rebirth and return of the original Goddess Dragon energy in every one of us.

Prerequisites

When we began three years ago, I did not set any prerequisites. But once we started walking the path of ART 5 Divination and began to pray The Remembering Ceremony and open Her Libraries, things shifted. It became clear that to fully embody Dragon, we must have activated both Divination in ART 5 and Devotion in ART 6. If you have not walked those two labyrinth paths, follow the links to purchase them OnDemand. If you have been in both of those, but not Myrrhophore Anointing, and would love to experience deep Cariad, I’ll include that link as well.

Here is an overview of the seven intensives:

The first three intensives awakened our internal mystical birthright gifts of intuition, threshold crossing, and prayer. These are WitchArts you have to activate and explore for yourself. To recognize if you would benefit from taking any of the first three intensives, reflect on your personal mystical life and ask yourself:

• Do I trust my intuition? Do I know how to see what my eyes do not, hear what my ears do not, know what my brain does not? If you wish to strengthen your intuition, you will benefit from ART 1 Full Body Intuition. (Plus, it’s the most fun you can have!)
• Do I know how to drop into mystical theta in multiple ways around the clock? If not, consider taking ART 2 Threshold Crossing.
• Have I discovered real prayer? Prayer that explodes way beyond the tiny box patriarchy stuffed it in to control people and stifle access to transcendental magic. I spent six years redefining prayer as love songs, sacred medicine, and five other delicious definitions. If you are not yet in love with real prayer, consider taking ART 3 The Power, Beauty, and Joy of Original Prayer.

The next three labyrinth walks awakened WitchArt gifts that we can give in service to others:

• ART 4 Myrrhophore Anointing awakened the memory of living in a sacred state of Cariad, as Magdalen and her beloved Yeshua modeled. They were not founders of a new religion; they were mystics demonstrating the ancient healing mysteries of anointing in the Myrrhhophore tradition of Isis. https://janetconner.com/art-4/
• ART 5 Divination awakened our natural oracular and prophetic gifts. In ART 5, we followed the example of the Oracle of Delphi and began our Remembering Ceremony by opening the Libraries of Mother Gaia’s four sacred elements. Following Cathy Steven’s Pratt voice in her profound experiential journeys, we entered those Libraries, recognized the personal elemental sigils we carved into the stone thousands of years ago, and discovered the mystical depths of divination. https://janetconner.com/art-5/
• ART 6 Reverence and Devotion expanded everything. Our hearts’ desire was to remember how to live in a state of reverence and devotion. For that, we knew we needed to jump past the five thousand years of patriarchal religions that instilled and enforced male hierarchy and created a world of endless violence. So we began by travelling to pre-patriarchal Crete, where we discovered a matrifocal culture that lived without weapons, war, or kings for over a thousand years. From there, we leapt back in time to bask in thousands of years of Neolithic Goddess cultures. Next, we entered the Paleolithic caves where mysticism, artistry, and the labyrinth were born. We completed our intensive remembering the life forms born in the womb of Mother Gaia and Mother Ocean. In Cathy’s journeys we returned to the Libraries carrying our Sigils and were welcomed into the vaults to discover deeper mysteries of each element. In each we were given sacred seeds for Her Garden of Reverence. https://janetconner.com/art6/

If you are moving through ART 5 and 6 to prepare for Dragon, you can complete them in February, March, and the first half of April. Cathy and I will host special cafes in February and March for those taking 5 and 6 so you can talk about your experiences with friends.

Who Is Dragon?

Since the 7 WitchArt gifts first surfaced onto the 7 circuits of the labyrinth in 2023, Dragon has been a mystery. All the others are mystical abilities, talents, ways of living—things you can learn. But Dragon? We think of Dragon as a mythical creature, not as a mystical ability. It has taken till now for Dragon to come to life and teach us who and what she is. And who and what we are here to become. This is how Dragon has asked to be presented and defined.

Who is Dragon? We are creatures who:

Trust our bodies’ exquisite intuitive senses

Effortlessly cross the threshold between worlds

Delight in the power, beauty, and joy of original prayer

Stand proud and sovereign in our Myrrhophore lineage

Share our prophetic, oracular, divination powers

Live in reverence and devotion

Three Prequel Experiences before Dragon

In ART 7 we will not just learn about Dragon or even meet Dragon, we will become Dragon. The Witch Sequence fulfills its promise only when we step into our fullness as the whole and holy mystic witches we came here to be—Dragons.

Before we can begin such an intense mystical experience there are three things we will do as a community to prepare.

Sunday, March 1, 2-4 pm eastern—Oracle Preparation
For the first time, Cathy will invite us to experience a full Tarot spread laying out how the Oracle wants us to prepare to walk this final circuit path and her guidance on how it will transform us. After the full spread, Cathy will ask the Oracle to select a personal guiding Tarot card for each one of us. Your special personal oracle will be with you throughout ART 7.

Sunday, March 15, 2-4pm eastern—The Truth about Patriarchy’s 3 Masculine “Monsters”
We met the Minotaur in the Paleolithic caves in ART 6 and discovered who he really is and that the story told by patriarchy is a lie. We met Lucifer in 2022 when Freddy Gerow shared Lucifer’s true identity as revealed to her by Archangel Michael. Finally, as we began to prepare for ART 7, Cathy and I scoured the literature to find anything about Dragon’s true nature, but like Lucifer and the Minotaur, Dragon is painted in the West as a violent monster who threatens maidens and must be killed by a brave and heroic warrior. Think St George spearing the Dragon, Michael piercing Lucifer, Theseus stabbing the Minotaur. As I reflected on these three, I pondered what their stories have in common, where they live in our consciousness, and why they must be redeemed and fully restored to their original truth and beauty before we can walk the Dragon path.

Sunday, March 29, 2-4pm eastern—Extricating the god Figure
In his Red Book, Carl Jung said we all have a “god figure” within who was planted in our left brain by parents, religion, and the patriarchal culture. By the time you were five years old, that god figure had so fully infiltrated your subconscious, that it began to silently manipulate your decisions, poison your relationships, and convince you that silence is the same thing as safety. That god figure stands guard in front of the door to a transcendental mystical life, blocking the way. Your particular guard might be a god, like that cranky old white guy spewing commandments, but it could also be a non-religious figure such as an abusive grandmother, narcissistic father, sexual predator…. Only you can discover who is lurking at the entrance to the door to your true freedom. This is an essential step. We cannot meet or become Dragon until we recognize our personal god figure and extricate it from our left brain.

Registration

To cover the value of the three Prequel events, I’ve added $108 to the regular registration amount for those who have been in two or more intensives. Investment options are based on the sacred number of the Witch—27—multiplied by Pythagoras’ karmic numbers: 13, 14, 16, 19.

16 witches—$432—standard registration
Choose this if you wish to make one payment for the Prequels and the 77-day intensive.
16 is the Tower crumbling—the perfect card for this moment as patriarchy collapses.
16 reduces to 7, the number in The Witch Sequence!
16 x 27 = $432 or $5.61/day—12 Hanged One in Tarot

14 witches—$378—self-selected scholarship
14 is Art in the Thoth Tarot, how perfect is that. Sabin Bailey says 14 is “Joan’s card.”
14 x 27 = $378 or $4.91/day—14 again, looks like Joan approves!
