Elements of Eros is a 5 month immersion in the magic of pleasure and embodied power in the Crimson Coven, through the magical powers of the elements – earth, air, fire, water, and spirit.

Our first class will be on Tuesday 17th September, and there will be a replay.

In this course you will…

  • Tune into your sensual nature, rediscover your sacred body, and unlock your magic. 
  • Reconnect with your body to reclaim your true power and come home to yourself. 
  • Open to Divine Love to experience total support.
  • And make space for your self as a whole human being to reignite your magic and creativity.

I discovered paganism about the time that puberty discovered me. At the same time that I was learning about the sacredness of nature, I was also learning that other people thought they had a say in how I lived in my body – rather than embodiment feeling divine it began to feel dangerous, the expectations of others restricting how I was allowed to be physically, the disapproval and unwanted attention both serving as reminders that my body was not my own.

I disappeared into my mind, into fiction and fantasy, and pushed down the connection to the divine that I saw in the natural world, but struggled to trust in my own body.

But it niggled me. My traditions are ones of immanence, of wholeness, of embodiment. My gods call me to ecstasy.

I knew I was missing something and I wanted it back.

So many of the places I looked for it were wrong for me though, it wasn’t about sex with others, but my connection to myself, to the divine within. Not finding the erotic with other people, (which is wonderful and brilliant but not what I was seeking), but the divine eros that is mine.

I’m a pagan, a witch, a ritualist… so I began working with the magic of the elements in the body specifically to heal this part of myself. I pulled out tools I’d learned, crafted ritual workings, and reached out to the deities of love and passion for help.

And I set about contacting that power of eros in myself, to reclaiming my sense of being safe in my own body, to connecting with divine embodiment, to unlocking that place of power that the world told me I wasn’t allowed to express.

And this is what Elements of Eros is all about. Giving you elemental tools to connect more deeply with the life and love that flows through you, to rediscover your sexual power in a safe container, to come home to your body, and to release fears that keep you from being whole.

Working with the earth of the body, the air of the breath, the water of your emotions, the fire of your desire, and the divine spirit of mystery and ritual that weaves through it all, you will connect with the magic of Eros, your divine nature, power, and pleasure.

This is for you if…

  • … you want to really Know that the divine is immanent in the world, rather than just believing it to develop a deep trust which results in the total support of the gods.
  • … you would love to feel safer in your body, to bring ease to your life and space to heal.
  • … you want more pleasure in your day to make every day more fun.
  • … you are curious about sacred sexuality but don’t fancy getting naked in a room with strangers.
  • … you are ready to unlock your own power as a whole, embodied, magical being to manifest your dream life.

This is not for you if…

  • … you are dealing with fresh or acute trauma.
  • … you object to mentions of sex in a sacred context.
  • … or you are just looking for an orgy.
  • … you are uncomfortable with paganism, queer inclusivity, or magic.

The course includes:

  • 5 live, interactive classes on Zoom, with replays
  • 5 Workbooks to help you deepen your work
  • Bonus access to my course “Foundations of Witchcraft” and my “Grounding” bundle
  • The opportunity to shape the supporting materials through Q&As
  • And support in the Crimson Coven forum!

Say yes to more magic, more pleasure, and more eros here!

Got questions? Here’s a taste of the magic possible:

In July I offered a ritual experience of the elements of eros in TEA, and you can dive into the replay here!

In this book, you’ll learn invaluable practices such as how to meet yourself anew, examine labels placed on you, and forgive yourself for any regrets or missteps.

And in case you’re new here…

The Crimson Coven is our private group for exploring divine love, sacred sexuality, and embodied magic through a pagan lens. Each week there are prompts and a livestream on a related topic, usually including a meditation to support your connection to the divine within and without.

Each month or so I host a guest speaker for a Crimson Chat, and I’m thrilled to have Lee join us to talk about his new book, “Become Your Own Beloved”. This is a topic dear to my heart, and I’m excited to hear about the ways in which Lee has written about self-love, self-care, and self-commitment.

Members of the Crimson Coven and Lee’s Patrons will get access to the zoom room for an interactive experience and a chance to ask questions, check the group for details.

The chat will be livestreamed to YouTube here.

OUT NOW! Crimson Craft – sexual magic for the solo witch

My new book of sexual magic is out!!! This is the longest book I’ve written to date, and I’m so proud of it. It is a work of healing, of magic, of embodied, sensual, loving, witchcraft. If you’re looking for an inclusive, gentle guide to uncovering your own inner sexual power, exploring ritual and creative ways of healing and becoming more embodied, and of opening the possibility of deep, devotional connection with the Divine… then Crimson Craft was written for you.

Crimson Craft felt both vulnerable and deeply healing to write, to share the ways in which I’ve healed myself, built relationship with the divine, and tapped deeper into my own inner power through pleasure and embracing the erotic. I deliberately wrote it for a solo practitioner because this is one key way we can reclaim our own personal authority, and take responsibility for something that is so often presented as dependent on others (with their own needs, challenges, wounds). But also to make it inclusive, to offer up these tools and processes to people of all and any gender and genitalia, because, honestly, sexual magic goes much further than what might be in our pants.

As living, embodied beings we are capable of great pleasure, and the magic that arises from being alive. In this, the power of eros is our ultimate guide.

(Crimson Craft can be found in all the normal places for buying books. The links in this post are affiliate links that support independent bookstores across the UK. Your local bookstore will also be able to order it in!)
Crimson Craft – Get your copy Here!

Crimson Craft is not your normal sex magic book, rather than focusing on the casting spells powered by orgasmic energy (though that definitely gets included!), this book takes us deeper into healing the perceived split between body and mind, opening up greater power and magic for use in all our witchcraft.

It also discusses working with deities of love and passion in building loving relationships with one’s self and one’s gods, the foundations of ecstatic mystical union, and the shadow work of facing cultural and personal taboos.

And it lays the foundation for self-love, which is a fundamental act of rebellious magic in a world that would rather keep us small.

Halo has created a safe space for anyone who wants to explore their own nature as a sexual being. This is an invitation to be open to healing, sacredness, wonder, spirituality and magic. It’s a deeply affirming and inclusive book full of things to explore and the affirmation that exploring is something you are entitled to do… Get it right, and sex can be magic, and mystery, wonder and sacredness. We have in ourselves, and between us, a capacity to make beauty and joy. That should be honoured and celebrated.

– from a review by Nimue Brown, read the whole thing here
Crimson Craft – Out Now!

Rediscover the sacred nature of sex, pleasure, and the divine erotic in Halo Quin’s Crimson Craft, a guide for sexual magic and a tool for personal healing, spell-casting, and devotional practices in witchcraft. By theorizing the ethics of embodiment and pleasure within these practices, Quin provides exploratory exercises (and tips for taking them further, and safely, with a partner) . Crimson Craft includes an introduction not only to archetypes, deities, and divine powers but also to the context and benefits of using kink in ritual and creative writing, inviting you – the witch and magic-worker – to deepen your understanding of sexual magic’s possibilities and sweetness.

~ from the official blurb

Words: Crimson Coven, arching over half a red rose blossom

Alongside the book, I have opened up a space for people to come together who want to explore and discuss, ritually, creatively, and respectfully, their journeys with the magic of embodiment and pleasure. In the Crimson Coven Collective there are discussion/journal prompts, creative inspiration, healing rituals, and mutual support.

On Monday 30th January we’ll be kicking off the live online events with a Book launch party and ritual, and then, on the full Moon, Sunday 5th February, we’ll gather for a healing Imbolc ritual. Come and join us to be a part of this magical collective!

Discover the Crimson Coven Collective

Thank you for joining me on this magical, healing, journey, in whatever way is right for you.

It is my honour, as always, to share my soul’s work with the people who choose to engage with an open heart.

May your journey be blessed, and your heart be healed.

In delight,

~Halo
