About this Event

Samhain

Samhain or Sauin is a Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year. It is also the Irish and Scottish Gaelic name for November. Celebrations begin on the evening of 31 October, since the Celtic day began and ended at sunset.

Jennifer Lane

Jennifer Lane is the author of The Wheel: A Witch's Path to Healing Through Nature and The Witch's Survival Guide. She has written for Vogue, The Week, Dazed, Cunning Folk, the BBC, Wildlife Trusts and the RSPB. She discovered Wicca when she was twelve years old and became fascinated by the craft, and since then has woven together her passion for wildlife with a Pagan lifestyle.

Laura Derbyshire

Laura Derbyshire - The Bower Hare - is a practicing witch based in Oxfordshire. In 2020, she started The Bower Hare as a way of sharing her practice online to show the lighter, brighter side of witchcraft. In the space of a year she has amassed a following of 11k on Instagram, and 28.3k on TikTok. In January 2022, she launched The Bower Hare e-magazine, free to her Patreon supporters, and available for download.

The Sabbat Sessions are free to attend and take place on or near each of the 8 witches' sabbats.
