What happens when the full moon—traditionally a time of heightened clarity, revelation, and intention—rises on April Fool’s Day?
This ritual gathering will explore the fertile space between truth and illusion, sincerity and play. April 1st—often associated with tricksters, reversals, and mischief—invites us to question what we take for granted. The full moon, by contrast, illuminates what has been hidden, bringing insight, culmination, and energetic potency. Together, these forces open a liminal field: a moment where we are asked not only to see clearly—but to question what clarity even is.
Drawing from contemporary witchcraft practices, archetypal psychology, and mythic traditions of the Fool and Trickster, this one-hour ritual will invits participants to engage intention-setting through a lens of curiosity, humor, and gentle disruption.
Rather than rigidly defining our desires, we will explore the places we might be deceiving ourselves, where we might be invited to loosen control, and where play itself becomes a form of magic. Through guided reflection, simple ritual actions, and a touch of mischief, participants will craft intentions that are both sincere and spacious, allowing for surprise, transformation, and the unexpected. This is a ritual that will encourage us to laugh at ourselves, soften our grip, and trust that sometimes the most powerful magic emerges when we stop trying to force it.
Recommended Items:
- candle
- journal & pen
- bowl of water
- talisman or stone
- mirror
Dr. Selena Madden is a mythologist, educator, and ritualist whose work lives at the threshold—where story opens the psyche and ritual rekindles the sacred. She has devoted her life to listening for the old patterns moving beneath modern experience: the descent and return, the dark fertile ground, the ember that endures.
A practitioner of witchcraft and spiritual traditions since her teens, Selena approaches ritual as both discipline and devotion. Her background in dance and martial arts informs her teaching not merely as movement practices, but as somatic pathways—ways the body learns courage, surrender, rhythm, and power. For her, myth is not abstract; it is lived through breath, muscle, gesture, and stillness.
Through seasonal rites, symbolic practice, contemplative storytelling, and embodied work, she creates spaces where participants enter myth as experience. Her work invites the soul to slow, the body to listen, and the individual to remember their place within the living rhythms of the natural world.
