Practical Witchcraft: Spell-crafting
Wednesday 19th February
13:30 - 15:45
18:30 - 20:45
€65 p.p. (intro price)
Do you keep looking for spells in books or online, but they just don’t feel quite right for your personal practice? Perhaps they involve components that you either don’t have access to, or don’t want to use for personal reasons? Would you like to be able to create spells that feel truly part of your own craft, and are therefore more effective? This workshop is for you!
Discover how to clearly formulate the intention of the spell, what the necessary types of component are, and how to structure the process of the actual casting in a way that’s practical for you. We’ll be looking at the theories of spell-crafting and doing some hands-on activities to create a small candle magic working to take home with you.
This workshop is open to everyone but some prior experience of meditation and energy work is recommended. If you are an interested beginner, I highly recommend that you first do my Practical Witchcraft: the Basics before doing this one.
All materials are provided, including a workbook for you to keep. Plus tea and vegan snacks!
Full disclosure: this session may run longer than the scheduled time, as it's a new workshop, so please bear this in mind when making plans. Naturally you don't have to stay til the end but I'd like to make sure you have the full experience.

Wednesday 11th March
13:30 - 15:45
18:30 - 20:45
€65 p.p. (intro price)
NEW WORKSHOP MEANS SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE!
The moon is a constant companion and reliable resource for the practical witch. The phases can be used for implementing and strengthening spellwork, but also in mundane life to bring a sense of balance and alignment with natural cycles. The light (or lack of it) can be used to cleanse and charge magical tools, rocks, and so on. And make moon water!
In this workshop you’ll learn the different phases of the moon and their qualities, what phase works best for different intentions, and several different ways to work with moonlight (including a couple of my personal charms). We’ll look at some lunar correspondences, from deities to herbs and stones, and craft a simple lunar talisman for you to take home.
This workshop is open to everyone but some prior experience of meditation and energy work is recommended. If you are an interested beginner, I highly recommend that you first do my Practical Witchcraft: the Basics before doing this one.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS *NOT* AN ASTROLOGY WORKSHOP (for those, I recommend Giulia in Black Moon Botanica, you can find her on insta (at)lunaticanocti ) so we will not be covering zodiac signs, only moon phases.
All materials are provided, including a workbook for you to keep. Plus tea and vegan snacks!
