We talk about the difference between the Knight and the King, and the ecological relationships they both imply. We talk about ecstasies; where inspiration comes from; what it means for your wand to flower; and rituals for working with the Knight of Wands on your morning walks. Join us!

Your life will change. You may feel confused, inspired, turned on, transformed, besotted. Join us today to learn more about the power of this king, Lord of the Waves and Waters, King of Undines and Nymphs, with our special guest Brian Cotnoir.
