Path Keepers Warrior Arts

You already know about calling the quarters. This class teaches you to move through them with your whole body.

Ninety minutes of martial arts training for magickal practitioners, taught as devotional practice in motion, for only $25. No experience needed. Most of the folks here started right where you are.

What we're doing September 6

Ten movements, eight directions, one center.

You'll learn ten foundational movements, then learn to use them in any of eight directions around you while staying rooted in one place. Alfred calls it walking the Wheel. Underneath the footwork, you're learning to take force that comes at you and pass it along instead of soaking it up.

Already in training? This is the 10/8 drill: receiving and bridging, inner and outer gate, upper and lower triangles.

What we do in 90 minutes

We start standing still with stance and breath, which is most of the work. Then footwork, moving and stepping. When you're ready, we add strikes, blocks, and simple combinations, built bottom-up from the foundations.

Partner drills are always opt-in and coached for control and safety. You can also train without ever touching another person and still get the benefits.

This group is small, and nobody is performing.

Every class stands on its own as well as building on prior experience. You can come to this one, skip October, and come back in November. Nobody gets left behind; everybody moves at their own pace.

Your body is welcome here

Stance work can also be done seated. Drills scale and start slowly and simply. If you have an injury, a chronic condition, or a body that behaves unpredictably, bring your body however it is that day and we'll work with it. If you'd rather talk it through first, leave us a note when you register and we'll plan your accommodations ahead of time rather than improvising in front of a room.

The path behind the class

Path Keepers Warrior Arts is a warrior-priest tradition that recognizes three complimentary paths: the Warrior, who develops capability; the Priest, who develops understanding; and the Path Keeper, who develops leadership. Alfred trains all three, and the standard he holds is strength without aggression and service that doesn't cost you yourself.

Come take a Sunday afternoon class, no strings. If you like what you experience, there's more.

Taught by Alfred Silverstar, 2nd High Priest in the WISE-ATC tradition of Wicca under Lord Solinox Silverstar, Summoner of Weavers of the Web, ATC. Alfred has decades of experience training in and teaching a wide variety of ancient martial arts. He's put together his physical experience there with his magickal training to bring you a unique opportunity to train mind, body, and soul together as one.
