Night of the Magi: Folk Magic of Epiphany & the Three Kings
Speaker: Dr Alexander Cummins
Date: Sunday 4 January 2026 | Time: 7pm ET
Location: Live Online

The Feast of Epiphany, marking the appearance and gift-giving of the Three Wise Men, is replete with folklore and folk magic: from chalking the door with blessings for the coming year, to the festivities and living mysteries of Twelfth Night, King-cake, the culmination of the Twelve Days of Christmas and Misrule, wassailing, and the election of a King and Queen of the Twelfth itself.  

Along with various observances of winter merry-making, there are a huge range of various Magian charms and rituals evidencing both grimoiric and folk magical expressions of the patronage of the Three Holy Kings and the Feast of their Adoration.

Such operations include divination and detection by divining rods, treasure-candles, and dream incubation; as well as magical garters for tireless travel, the purifications and exorcisms of the Smoke Nights, and much more besides.

In this class, Magi devotee and contemporary cunning-man Dr Alexander Cummins will present recent research into the folklore and folk magic of the Three Kings, and share some of his personal folk necromantic material for working with the wise and generous dead magicians who may gather under their aegis.

Ways of the Points: Interpreting Underlying Factors with Geomancy
Speaker: Dr Alexander Cummins
Date: Thursday 15 January 2026 | Time: 7pm ET
Location: Live Online

The shield chart of geomantic divination offers a wide range of methods for assessing both overall conditions and particular facets of a situation. One such divinatory method is known as the Via Puncti, the Way of the Points. While not present in every chart, in shields where such a Way can be traced it offers additional guidance for considering underlying factors or additional clarifying advice.

Significantly, these Ways of the Points highlight the value of examining a dimension of conditions that we may not have expected to be significant before casting the chart. The Via Puncti presents an invaluable divinatory technique for measuring and assessing the parts of situation we didn’t initially consider that we needed to examine.

Here then, we may discover aid from unexpected corners, advice from unanticipated considerations, or simply a fuller and clearer sense of how to pursue goals and avoid difficulties from an expanded field of vantage on the situation upon which we are divining. This can include consideration of how to apply this additional information into helpful assessments of the realities and possibilities open to us, and indeed formulation of particular remediations and strategies for best navigating those conditions.

In this class, professional geomancer and divination coach Dr Alexander Cummins will lead us in an exploration of how to trace and understand the Ways of the Points in our geomancy to derive fuller readings, deeper interpretations, and additional counsel for ourselves and our clients.
