In this workshop we will discuss history and archetypes of folk astrology, seeking to connect with magical lineages rooted in Western Europe and Appalachia. We will feel into earth's place in the solar system through modeling and observation.

Kate Flanagan / Professor Y!kes studied feminist theory and social movements at the University of California at Santa Cruz and grounded the academics through whole-hearted participation in activism. For seven years She has studied astrology and its  history, weaving these with the history of capitalism, science, and the suppression of magic. Since 2010 she’s been living in Cedar Moon -- the intentional community at TLC Farm -- and working as a math tutor.  She enjoys engaging ritual, song, and theater as magical-revolutionary tools.
