People often look to practices of the past to ground their magic in a sense of authenticity and tradition. However, even as ancient sources of magical power become more accessible knowledge of how to read and use these resources remains scarce. In an era of information overwhelm, it can be difficult to find accurate sources, and even more difficult to know what to do with them! 

This class is designed for practitioners who want to deepen their magical knowledge, and explore primary sources for magical lore such as grimoires, folklore, and ancient magical texts. These resources are a treasure trove of occult knowledge that cuts through the noise of social media and conflicting online resources and options, but they can be difficult to navigate. In this class, we will explore how and why one might ground their spiritual practice in a historical context, how to go about finding and researching sources, and ethical considerations to be made when building a magical practice. 

Sarah Lyons is a celebrated writer, witch, and filmmaker whose works and writing have appeared in The New York Times, Teen Vogue, Vice, Buzzfeed, NewsWeek, Bust, Dazed, Signs Journal, The Last Podcast on the Left, and The Witch Wave Podcast.

She is also the author of The ColoringTarot Guidebook (2023).

Sarah has appeared as a regular guest on the CW show MysteriesDecoded, and is a trusted expert on witchcraft and the occult, having appeared in, and consulted with, numerous documentary films on the subject. Her first feature film, The Woods, premiered at New York City Horror Film Festival, where one of the film's leads won the Best Actor award.
