Hello! Welcome to Hive Magick School!
— a place to create and sustain a personal theology that 100% aligns with your beliefs and values, within a supportive community focused on centering spirituality in daily life.

I’m headmistress, Melissa Platten. With over 30 years of real-life experience in earth based spirituality, Wicca, Buddhism, and other traditional religious philosophy, Hive Magick School reflects my belief in humanity’s connection to the natural world, our basic goodness, inherent wisdom, and the power of mind-training as a tool for manifestation. 

Enrollment for Magick School is ongoing. Our study terms are seasonal:
Winter Term: December -March
Spring Term: March -June
Summer Term: June-September
Fall Term: September-December

Summer Term begins June 21. We focus first on Shadow Work leading up to the Dark Moon on July 13th, and then broaden our studies to focus on:

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
This is a newbie-beginner friendly environment! 

In the summer, Hive Magick School slows down to one practice a week, Mondays at 7:15pm, in-person and online. Every two weeks we celebrate the moon cycle—new, full, once a season we practice with the dark moon for shadow work. We will also celebrate the Summer Solstice and the 1st Harvest.

During Fall, Winter and Spring term, Magick School includes 3 opportunities to practice and learn: 

Mondays: philosophy focus, often a book study 

Wednesdays: Earth Magick—less structured and more experiential (ritual/ceremony/crafts). Every two weeks we celebrate the moon cycle—new, full and once a season we practice with the dark moon for shadow work. We honor the solar cycle: Winter Solstice, Imbolc, Vernal Equinox, Beltane, Summer Solstice, Lammas, Mabon, and Samhain.

We don’t adhere to a specific “religion” or dogma.

We believe in the inherent dignity and wisdom in all beings, that we, humans,  are a part of nature, and the purpose of life is to live life, awake in each moment. Not just for some of the people. ALL OF THE PEOPLE, including women, the queer community in all its diversity, immigrants, people of color, indigenous people, and elders. 

I’m gathering with like-minded people as we engage in empowering practices and use our focused will to positively affect the world around us. Will you join us? 

XO-MelissaP.
