The Ad Libitum Department consists of workshops and lectures that don’t require any prerequisite knowledge or skills. It would be appropriate for those who have not yet started their studies in the Menshikova School and for those who would like to deepen their knowledge that has been acquired through the studies in the Main Department.
This department is for those who are just at the beginning of their magical path as well as for those whose inquisitive minds tend to have ten more questions to one found answer.
“The Four Rules of a Mage” serves as a beacon of empowerment and growth, inspiring readers to embrace their innate potential, expand their consciousness, and embark on a journey of self-realization and spiritual evolution.
The Laws of Magic by K.E. Menshikova is the twelfth captivating installment in the “Magic in Questions and Answers” series, a collection that delves deep into the mysteries of magic and the mind. This book, like the ones before it, is a collaborative effort born from the passionate discussions and shared wisdom of students and …
The Q&A sessions are based on the listeners’ questions on the subjects of magic and witchcraft, occultism, esotericism and the answers given by Ksenia Menshikova, the founder of the School.
The Parental Programs Workshop is part of the Ad Libitum Department. It will help you get rid of the paternal and maternal programs that have been passed down through your bloodline.
The workshop “The Power of the Bloodline” is dedicated to the ancient knowledge of the ancestors, to the secrets accumulated through generations and hidden in the genes; to the structure of the bloodline, its hierarchy and currents; to understanding the advantages and limitations that the bloodline gives and imposes.
December 20-23. Winter Solstice.
From this moment the period of waning of the Fire element begins. On the longest night of the year, there is another turning point that sums up the results of all that has been done. Yule is the end of the battle and its outcome – whose victory is it?
Starting with this day the Earth element falls asleep for six months. The force of the elements is becoming quieter and quieter, and it can no longer exercise its will on what is happening to all its children. On the night of Samhain the veil between the human world and the dark world of the dead rises, and our worlds approach each other to the point that a mutual influence becomes possible with no restrictions.
All four elements during the calendar year (the Wheel of Year) go through the stages of falling asleep and awakening, thus forming eight fixed points – the points of power during which transition takes place, the elemental reconstruction of space. The ritualistic tradition of the Slavs and the Celts was designed for the attuning of the human consciousness to the realm of natural forces during the moments of transition – and in this regard, they were able to perfect it.
On this day, after a long rest, the Air Element is the first to awaken. In the world of men, Air is the supervising element, and the Mental body – its product – is meant to equilize the need of the supraconscious and the need to survive which is in turn dictated by the subconscious.
From this day on, in the world of nature, the waning of the Water Element begins. The combination of Air and Water gives motion to the current of time, but from the moment the Air starts to wane, it becomes as if slower, and the decrease of the activity of the Water Element seems to stop it altogether. The myth of the birth and becoming of a young god shows that his journey in search of power and experience takes him away from this world.
