About this Event
This event is free, but we kindly ask that you RSVP as it helps us plan for seating and staffing. Walk-ins are always welcome!
Author Alli Dyer will be guiding us in a ritual inspired by Appalachian folk magic to ward off evil in the new year. During the workshop, you will make an "amulet" of sorts that you can take with you wherever you go for protection against the evil forces, both great and small, that surround us in these troubled times.
Participants are encouraged to bring an old piece of clothing (or anything you can cut a square of cloth from) to use for the ritual, but it is not required--a square of cloth will be provided for you if you don't have your own.There will be biscuits, apple cider (spirited or non), and other treats made by a genuine Appalachian woman (e.g. Alli's mother). Let's welcome the new year together :)
