Spellcrafting

This workshop is focused on Spellcrafting. A spell is just another way to describe what is essentially a wish, a prayer, or manifestation. You don't need any previous knowledge or experience whatsoever. If you've been curious about the actual practice of witchcraft and what that entails, then this is the workshop for you. You'll learn how and why we create a sacred space for ritual, how to use energy and intention, discussing different types of spells and various methods we can use to cast our spells.
