Warrior Monk Boot Camp - 001:

Six weeks of Martial Arts training. Choose your style and what mentor you will be working with, or one can be recommended to you from our roster of qualified 'warrior monks' to train you in some type of martial arts to not only have more self discipline, but to master channeling your inner fury into a true spiritual warrior ready to defend those deserving of your protective magick. At the end of the training program, write an essay about your experiences and how they apply to magick. Also describe your spiritual shift as you endured the heat of Martian energies at work in your life. You may also present a video or live demonstration of your skills in martial arts and how they apply to magick.
A warrior monk is a concept found in various cultures of an individual who combines aspects of being a monk, (devoted spiritual seeker) with a devoted lifestyle of a peaceful warrior, trained to engage in violent conflict but ever seeking to be a peace keeper. This course is designed to merge you with your spiritual warrior archetype.

Warrior in a Garden - 002:

Agriculture is the science, art and practice of cultivating plants and livestock. It was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities rather than having to roam as nomadic tribes. 
A Huge part of what made this possible was an understanding of astrology as it related to the seasons. Along with the physical labor of toiling in the earth, using tools, and facilitating proper growing conditions, maintaining balance in the eco system by working in the proper season/cycle was also necessary.
Agriculture also dealt with the farming of animal products like eggs and managing livestock for milk etc. Choose an agricultural project and manage it for at least 6 weeks or until the season has come to harvest. Write an essay on your experiences using Aries/Mars energies in providing for yourself or tribe.  
Describe your spiritual shift as your harvest came into fruition and how your experiences apply to magick. You can do this project on your own land for your own family, or at one of our monasteries for the church, or as a service to a tribe member (like an elderly or disabled individual).

Alchemy of Metals - 003:

This course specifically requires working with metals in making ritual implements like talismans/amulets, daggers, wands, pendulums, magick rings, etc.
The seven metals of alchemy  are gold, silver, mercury, copper, lead, iron & tin. Obviously due to the toxic nature of lead and mercury, those metals are reserved for adepts at the master level only. Neophytes should begin with gold, silver, copper, iron or tin.  Study the properties and planetary correspondences of each metal and choose at least one metal to work in. Create a ritual tool or  magickal implement from the metals. Be mindful of the days and times you work on your project as each metal also corresponds to certain planetary hours.  You may find your own local mentor, learn from online tutorials, or we can recommend a skilled mentor in working with metals. Follow a six week course and complete at least one finished artifact. Write an essay about how you applied the alchemy of metals to magick and describe your spiritual shift as you created something from your chosen materials.

Swords and Daggers (blade-wielding) - 004:

Swords and daggers are a common tool used in ceremonial magick, combat, and useful in survival situations for preparing food and shelter. The master Yeshua said, "I have come to bring the sword." and there are many spiritual lessons tied into the use of swords and daggers.

Demonstrate at least three different ways blades are used as a tool for righteous use. Write an essay describing the how blades are used when applied to magick, or learn a martial art related to blades like knife throwing, fencing, sword dancing etc and explain your spiritual shift as you have become familiar with wielding the power of a blade.
