Episode 112- Managing the Magical: Opening the Gates - a podcast by Three Cranes Grove, ADF

We're a month out from Summerland! Consider coming out to the Summerland Festival August 17-20, 2023, in near Yellow Springs, Ohio!

This week is the second of five episodes we recoded back-to-back about "Managing the Magical," or how we do magical work in certain sections of our rituals. We'll talk about what we consider the "big magical workings" in ADF ritual, the history behind those sections, and how they came to be part of our liturgy, before diving deeply into how we actually do these ritual parts.

This week is all about good gatekeepers and their attributes, how we work with them, and the mechanics of opening the Gates... along with how we manage the origins of this ritual process.

The five episodes will be:

• (Re)Creating the Cosmos (last week)


• Opening the Gates (today)


• Taking the Omen (July 27)


• The Return Flow (August 3)


• The Workings (August 10)
