The Darkwood Almanac — free webinar
Anointing Oils
A quick story:
In 2017 I could run a 5k in about 40 minutes.
But then my knee started to hurt, so I quit running.
Because I quit, I lost a skill set I’d worked hard to build. The muscle strength, the discipline, and the mental resilience that allowed me to run those races disappeared quickly once I stopped regular training.
After 2 years, I decided to start running again. It was painful, not because of the running, but because I had to start at ground zero.
During that first painful month, all I could think was “this used to be easy” as I struggled to run even a mile.
an on-going sisterhood to celebrate the ground you’ve gained during The Mystical Year.
Without this support, you might have the spiritual equivalent of my running issue.
I don’t want you to wake up one day and think “I used to be someone who circled with women, walked with archetypes, and never missed a holy day”
8 in person, day-long retreats per year (a $2,400 value)
Day-long retreats will be from 9 am – 5 pm on Fridays. We’ll meet at my apothecary. These retreats will focus on divination, creativity, deep dives, and sisterhood. Where TMY classes focus on instruction, Path retreats will be restorative, inspiring, and grounding.
General retreat flow:
9 – 9:45: unstructured time to arrive: tea and socializing, time to be in the space, journaling, yoga, etc
9:45 – 12:45 morning session
12:45 – 1:30 lunch
1:30 – 4:30 afternoon session
4:30 – 5: unstructured time to integrate learning from the day and/or socialize
8 in-person group rituals per year (a $250 value)
Rituals will be from 7-9 pm at my apothecary or various locations in and around Asheville. Ritual Apprentices may volunteer, but this position is not required. As these rituals are for experienced mystical alumni, they will be deeper and more specific than TMY rituals.

Fresh course materials (an $800 value)
You’ll get digital copies of the original Materia Mystica and supporting workbooks for all 8 seasonal segments via Dropbox. This will be how you walk & track your spiral path–reading the same material and answering the same questions from a different vantage point. You’ll get 2-5 brand-new printed worksheets for retreats, along with the Archetype Mapping worksheets.
Fresh set of Archetype Anointing Oils (a $304 value)
Start the new year with clean labels and full bottles. You’ll keep the same tray you received for The Mystical Year, but get a fresh set of all 7 anointing oils in the bottle of your preference (wands or rollers).
8 individual check-ins via phone per year (a $400 value)
You and I will have a one-on-one 30 minute phone calls for all 8 seasons. I’ll be able to offer specific support & guidance around your work with the season, the archetype, your Archetype Mapping divination, and etc.
Bi-monthly group guidance calls via zoom (a $1,000 value)
Rather than a weekly Facebook Live session, I’ll invite you to join me on a one-hour Zoom call twice a month. This is more participatory than FB Live, and will allow you to ask questions, be “coached”/have divinations explained. I’ll begin each call with a “lesson” pertaining to the season and archetype, then open it up for discussion and guidance. We can determine as a group when the best times for these calls will be. They will be recorded so you can revisit them.
All materials used in classes and rituals (a $600 value)
Any supplies like essential oils, bottles, flowers, or craft materials will be provided.
Additional Expenses
I’m open to the idea of using a retreat center. If we decide that a 2-night retreat would be conducive to the depth of this learning, I’m game. We would do the “retreat day”, then the ritual the following night. This will be an additional expense per student.
How many women will be in this program?
The Mystical Path is open to all TMY alumni. To date, that’s 17 women. I would like to keep the close-knit intimacy of this group in tact, so 9 women will be accepted in. The first people to submit their tuition/down payment will have their seat for the year secured.
