In this immersion, we will dream deep into the rich lineage of protection magic from around the Jewish diaspora, from ancient times through the present. For thousands of years, Jews have woven rituals and remedies for protection against sheydim (often translated as “demons”) and ayin hara (evil eye), enlisting the support of plants, amulets, sacred symbols, ritual, prayer, and texts. We will learn about ancient boundary and blessing practices, amulets, incantation bowls, mezuzot, and plants for protection, and discuss ways we can integrate some of these practices in our lives. As we re-enliven and reconnect with these ancestral traditions of protection, the prayer is that these practices support us both personally and collectively, grounded in a theology of abolition, presence, and collective care.You may be wondering: is this the same workshop we offered in the spring or a part 2? This immersion is a remix & repeat. You are welcome to take it again, but it will be much of the same information offered in the spring, combined with emergence and the addition of small group co-study (chevruta).
