2016 ConVocation - Rebirth in the Sea of Divine Knowledge

The ritual of "Drawing Down the Moon" has become one of the most important and
essential parts of Modern Wicca, but how did the concept and ritual develop, and what is really going on when you "draw down" deity? Mankey explores the history of the Drawing Down ceremony, focusing on its alleged origins in Ancient Greece and how the ceremony has
developed in modern times. The differences between invoking and evoking will also be
discussed, and what types of energy are associated with each. This workshop also provides
information for performing your own "drawing down" ceremonies. One of the major differences
between Modern Paganism and other living religions is how close we (Pagans) get to our deities,
"drawing down" is the most powerful way to celebrate that closeness.
