Introduction

Beginnings

I magine strolling through a lush, dense forest. With each step you can hear the crunch of leaves beneath your feet. The sunlight streams through the canopy, creating patterns of shadow across the forest floor. You breathe in and smell the damp, sweet odor of fresh growth mixed with the decomposition of the loam under your feet. The chatter of birds is carried on the wind. When the sound hits your ears, you feel a tightness in your chest begin to soften and a smile crosses your lips. Walking through the forest is a simple pleasure, but it is one filled with beauty.

Sometime around 2010 I co-taught a weeklong intensive at California Witchcamp. My co-teacher and I offered a five-day workshop called Walking in Beauty. It was dubbed by the campers as the bardic path because the plan was to incorporate poetry and writing with magick and Witchcraft. The goal of this class was to tap into our creative selves and express them in a myriad of artistic ways. We had a clear vision and a direction, but over the week the magick that we were doing evolved into so much moreway more than I ever expected.

The flow of our class became less and less about poetry or tapping into our magickal bardic powers and more about finding beauty. But the words finding beauty arent quite the right words for what happened either. Our group of twenty Witches and edge walkers opened up to remembering beauty and seeing beauty in all of the things that are happening around us all of the time. Our path became a place where we could share the beauty that we were discovering with other people. We found that the more we opened our eyes to the beauty of the world, the more we could see it. Concurrently, by sharing these discoveries with other people not taking our workshop, we were able to help open their eyes to this beauty too. We discovered that awakening to beauty grows and expands on itself exponentially. One of the tools we used to do this work was the Beauty Pentacle.

Shortly after the initial Walking in Beauty workshop, I had an experience with an ancestor. She told me it was time to bring the tool of the Beauty Pentacle into the world. She said that humanity needs to be reminded of how much beauty there is. She told me that it is too easy to be focused on what is wrong, broken, and terrible. It is too easy to lose the threads of beauty. It is part of the modern illness of disconnection, and beauty is the cure.
