Elemental Witchcraft – Fire
Trinity's Magickal Intentions 40 Main St, Toms River, NJ, United StatesAn elemental witch is one who works with one specific element or all of the elements in order to manifest their desired results. Each element holds power and wisdom over a specific part of nature, which is why as witches we may call on all the elements when we want to perform ritual or create a spell. This series will aid you in beginning your journey, or serve as a refresher, through the pentacle path by focusing on one of the five elements in a non-denominational setting. This particular class will begin the circle by focusing on the Fire element. Do you think you’re an Fire elemental witch? Are you drawn to this element more than the others? Let’s find out together! We will discuss what the element of Fire rules over, correspondences such as deities, herbs, and crystals, how to connect with the element by examples of spells and activities, and then we will join in a brief meditation to begin your journey with the element of Fire! Some handouts will be provided but we strongly encourage you to bring a notebook dedicated to your pentacle path journey. TMI welcomes Ariel Tobin RM CCH, who has been a practicing [...]

Tree of Life Paint-A-Long
Trinity's Magickal Intentions 40 Main St, Toms River, NJ, United StatesWelcome to our Tree of Life Paint-a-Long Workshop at Trinity's Magickal Intentions with Allison of New Luanr Light! Join us for an immersive artistic journey into the realm of growth, creation, and new beginnings. Prepare to embark on a serene meditation session at the beginning of our workshop. Through guided meditation, we'll focus our minds on the symbolic significance of the Tree of Life—a universal symbol representing interconnectedness, vitality, and the cycle of life. This meditation will serve as the foundation for our creative exploration, allowing us to tap into our inner creativity and channel our intentions towards personal growth and renewal. We'll contemplate its significance as a representation of the interconnectedness of all living beings, as well as its associations with growth, wisdom, and the eternal cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Once our minds are attuned to the essence of the Tree of Life, we'll transition into the main painting session. Using acrylic paints on canvas, we'll bring our visions of the Tree of Life to life on the blank canvas before us. Please be aware that acrylic paint can stain, so we recommend wearing something appropriate for our painting session. However, don't let the fear of a [...]

Ocean County Historical Society 26 Hadley Ave, Toms River, NJ, United StatesBob Fernekes April 14, 2024, at 2:00 PM “When Bipartisanship Mattered: “The Life and Career of US Senator Clifford P. Case” For 33 years in the U. S. Congress, nine in the House and twenty-four in the Senate, Clifford Case was a powerful voice for civil and human rights, environmental protection, ethics in government and a global role for the U.S. in combating the spread of communism and promoting democracy. Case was determined to uphold honesty and integrity in government, introducing legislation on financial disclosure years before it was required by law, while pursuing an end to the Vietnam War when it became clear U.S. policy was causing more harm than good. Case also was a forceful advocate for New Jersey, working closely with his senate colleague Harrison Williams and other members of the state’s Congressional delegation to advance the state’s interests in Washington, with particular emphasis on preserving and protecting the natural environment. Learn more about this fascinating figure from his biographer himself. William R. Fenekes (B. A., M. A., Ed. D., Rutgers University) taught social studies and Spanish from 1974-1987 at Hunterdon Central Regional HS in Flemington NJ, and then served as supervisor of social studies at Hunterdon [...]
