Herne and Cerridwen – Class

Since ancient times, there have always been gods and goddesses associated with witchcraft.

In this class, Rebecca Beattie introduces two important deities of  magic. While Herne the Hunter is one of England's most famous horned God  figures, Cerridwen's cauldron of rebirth and inspiration has its roots  in medieval Welsh mythology. Both deities are now key figures in modern  pagan practice. First, Rebecca outlines contemporary views of Herne and  Cerridwen, delving into lore, legend and sacred items. She then explores  ways to build a relationship with these figures. The class concludes  with a pathworking to initiate a working connection.

The 'Meeting the Gods' series is dedicated to introducing specific  gods and goddesses. Each class focuses on two or more deities associated  with a particular theme. Participants are then given guidance on how to  'meet' and build relationships with them, alongside what might be  expected from such work.

Rebecca Beattie has spent over two decades studying  and practising witchcraft. A Wiccan priestess of 15 years, she has a  rich understanding of the history and traditions underpinning pagan  practice. She also has a doctorate in Creative Writing and is a  published author. Her books include Wheel of the Year: A Nurturing Guide and the  pagan toolkit for navigating major life changes, The Way Through the Woods. Website: www.rebeccabeattie.co.uk
