Within the Temple of Apollo
Oxon Hoath Centre, Kent, UK
With Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
and Andy Cooper
Apollo was the Greek god of music, poetry, healing, light and divination. He is a Sun God who presided over his temple and famous Oracle at Delphi. He also had dominion over plague, colonies, reason, dance, intellect, and herds of domesticated animals. Over the entrance to his temple at Delphi were the famed words “Know Thyself” and this workshop is about exactly that. It is about connecting with what “makes you tick” and about discovering your inner motivations through meditation, divination, oracular work and healing.
There will be rituals in the Greek tradition, lectures, practical sessions, vigils and optional temple sleeps.
You will learn to work with the Solar Fire in its five aspects: The fire of life, the fire of love, the fire of creation, the fire of knowledge and the fire of courage. You will also learn how to work with energy for healing, and there will be practical healing sessions as well as practical sessions for divination and prophecy.
LIVING “AS IF”
We have structured this workshop so that you will live and work as a member of the Priesthood of Apollo. We request that you take this very seriously, and behave as you would see fit for an initiated Priest or Priestess of the Mysteries.
Breakfast and lunch will be eaten in silence, during which a chosen priest or priestess will read from one of the sacred books.
We strongly believe that acting “as if” creates a different reality and enables us to really connect into the energy patterns and archetypes of the Greek tradition. White robes will be required for the workshop.

A Journey Through the Underworld
Lindenfels near Frankfurt am Main (Germany)
With Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
Sponsored by Lodge Chayot ha-Qodesh
For centuries the Christian church has held the threat of Hell and Damnation over the heads of their followers. But what and where is this Hell? Does it in fact exist? What do the legends of The Fallen Ones actually tell us? Why does a God of Love feel so insecure that such a horrific punishment is used to keep humanity on His side?
In this workshop we look at the many and various ideas of the afterlife and in particular the subject of the Underworld and its Rulers. The legend of the Fall, the role of Lucifer, the Nephelim, and the older gods such as Ereshgigal, Pluto, the Celtic Pwyll and others.
The Psychopomps or Guides of the Dead also have their place here as they have done so throughout the history of humanity. The methods of conveyance to both the higher and lower worlds are a part of all this. The Boat of Millions of years
( intriguing when you take the tie to see it as a means of space travel over a period of light years…|) The Hennu boat that was used to take the Pharoah to his last resting place… a boat with wings!
All these objects, myths, and personalities are a part of the mystery of Death which is surely the greatest mystery of all. How we can help those we love to pass over in peace and without fear. How we can help those who have suffered a violent death. The death of a child and the passing of a beloved pet are all a part of this unusual workshop. The passing of an initiate, exorcism and the cleansing of a room or house in which violence has occurred will be discussed and advice and training given.
This is not a workshop for the novice, it requires some knowledge of the Inner Worlds on all levels. Pathworking include "The Passing of the King" and "The Passing of the Three Gates." There will be the usual Saturday evening ritual.
You will need a black robe, soft slippers, a small coin, a dark blue candle in a small holder, and a small piece of bone. (animal!)
"The underworld is not without light or love or laughter"
Do not miss this fascinating event…

The Egyptian Mysteries
Seelie Court, near Georgetown, DE
With Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
Sponsored by the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel
No other civilization has captured the imagination
like that of ancient Egypt. Alexander, Ptolemy, Julius
Caesar, and Napoleon have all stood awed and mystified by
the grandeur of the Pyramids and the enigmatic face of the
Sphinx. The enduring calm of the Colossi as they gaze
unendingly out into the desert has stunned visitors into
silence for hundreds of years.
Why does this ancient land inspire such feeling? What
were they like, those people who raised one of the first
and arguably t he greatest civilization the world has ever
known out of a narrow strip of fertile land banded by
desert? Where did their knowledge come from? What were
their lives like? Why did their Gods take such strange
forms? Do those Gods still exist?
They were Masters of Magic, that we know, architects
of such skill that we still do not know their secrets.
Their priesthood had a training beyond anything before or
since, and part still exists. In the great Temple in the
City of On, later to be called Heliopolis, and in the
Library of Alexandria some of the greatest men and women of
the ancient world were trained, Solon, Oannes, Plato,
Miletus, Hypatia, Basilides, and many others. This workshop
explore the lives, beliefs, and practices of this ancient
land with an emphasis on the religious and magical areas of
training. Subjects will include:
The Origin of Egypt and its Gods.
The mystery of the Duat.
The Training of the Priesthood and the Temple of On.
The Mystery of the Pyramids.
The Creation of a New God.
The Priest Kings of the Old Kingdom.
Everyday life in ancient Egypt.
The Mysteries of, Isis and Osiris - Nephthys and Set.
The Egyptian Creation Myth.
The Importance of the Triad.
In addition there will be a specially written ritual:
The Consecration of the New God
Registration
The fee for The Egyptian Mysteries is $175 for the
weekend. You may register online through PayPal at our
website. Or through the mail by sending your contact
information and a check payable to:
Assembly of the Sacred Wheel
14914 Deer Forest Rd.,
Georgetown, DE 19947
We will be providing beverages and snacks. You may

your plan. Directions and a list of local motels are
available at the website.
Space is limited so register early.

The Body of Light
Philadelphia, PA
With Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
Sponsored by New Seed Sanctuary
When speaking of a Body of Light, what do we mean? An Astral form, a Spirit, or what? The term has been misused for years. The Body of Light is the spark of life, container of consciousness. These are all phrases describing the eternal soul. Now we can look at Light in a way that gives us a better understanding of it and further our knowledge of the SpiritWorld. This workshop will help you look at all aspects of the Body of Light along with practical techniques of how to use and build it.
Lecture topics include: The Primal Spark; The Illumination of Matter; The Multiple Bodies of Light; Using the BOL in Ritual and Meditation; The State of Ecstacy; The Vision of the Saints; The Rainbow Body; Death and the Body of Light; and more...
This rare public lecture will be held at:
New Seed Sanctuary

The Gods Live Within Us
Beltsville, MD
With Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
Sponsored by Moonridge Center
Atalanta Foxwood is honored to host the Dolores Ashcroft Nowicki 2009 workshop: The Gods Live Within Us
This years workshop, in honor of her 80th year, promises to be one of the best ever. We hope you can make it!
Workshop Details
Re-creating the gods within ourselves by the use of meditation, path-workings, and self hypnosis is possible. It then becomes not so much a question of hearing Diana or Apollo or Horus speaking to us mentally, but of building their forms within our own and becoming them, for a short while. This is another way to realize the Great Divine Truth. “As Above, so Below,” but after another fashion.
In The Origin and Breakdown of the Bi-Cameral Mind, Julian Jaynes speaks of the “voices” of the gods speaking to early humanity through the media of the right brain. Channelers (real ones) are well aware of the actuality of hosting other intelligences within oneself. But how can the ordinary person with no mediumistic talents reach these hidden beings? (is it untrue anyone can be a channeler) There are two distinct ways to reach the gods. But first one must look at what one means by the word “gods.”
The ancients assigned different gods to different aspects of awareness. Athena to Wisdom. Pan to Libido, Hathor/Venus to Love, Ra/Apollo to Sun power etc. If these beings existed in our beginnings, they must have done so in a nebulous form that was able to influence the human mind. They must have caused images and emotions to be planted into the subconscious mind in such a way that they would slowly emerge in full consciousness when the time was right for that individual.
In short, The gods do exist, and have always existed as “patterns” that humanity sought to emulate. However, as each one of those “patterns” must, in deference to Divine Law, have two sides/two aspects, it follows that we always have a choice to make. We can choose Love or Lust, Wisdom or Stupidity, Controlled Power or Uncontrolled Egotism. The gods did not cease to exist, not will they ever. They have always been exactly where they are now…deep within each and every human being, and not just one god, but all of them, from every pantheon and every tradition. All the gods are, in fact one God, just different aspects of The One. Every Life Form is an image of The One, but at different levels of awareness and each one has the ability to reflect The One as it personally wishes to do so… This, and this alone is Free Will.
We can re-create the gods within ourselves by the use of meditation, path-workings, and self hypnosis. It then becomes not so much a question of hearing Diana or Apollo or Horus speaking to us mentally, but of building their forms within our own and becoming them, for a short while. This is another way to realize the Great Divine Truth. “As Above, so Below,” but after another fashion. Each aspect of The One remains untouched and original, WE are the ones who change the true reflection into a myriad facets. When we truly Know Ourselves, then every facet can align itself to the Original and become a perfect whole. It is not accomplished without pain, or effort, and it can never be achieved in one lifetime. But we can make a start, by recognizing just one God-Form within us.

Location
The workshop is located at the Moonridge Center in Beltsville Maryland. The address is 4344 Aitcheson Rd, Beltsville, MD 20705.
Those of you familiar with Moonridge Center may not be aware of recent changes in the local geography due to a new housing development. Old
Gunpowder Road was MOVED. Aitcheson Rd is no longer accessible
directly from Old Gunpowder Rd. You must first turn onto SINOPE WAY to
gain access to the old Old Gunpowder Rd access road, then proceed to
Aitcheson Rd. Most mapping websites show the new geography, but WILL
NOT tell you to turn onto Sinope Way.
Moonridge is a wooded sanctuary formerly stewarded by Foxwood for the partnership of humanity with the spirits of the land. It is 12 acres of serene and sacred woods and gardens dotted with sanctuaries including the Faery Cairn and the circle of standing stones. The Cairn is a stone monument, garden and living classroom as well as a meditation and visionary area. The physical site of the workshops is within a geodesic dome. We encourage visitors to enjoy and honor the space. We have a small kitchen area with a stove, sink and refrigerator if you will be bringing your food. Otherwise, there are restaurants within 15 minutes drive of Moonridge.
