Hair, Folklore & Magic
Exploring the rich folklore and magical traditions of hair and brush handcrafting ritual.
Step into an intimate exploration of hair beyond colour, beyond the cut—as an extension of identity and power. Braided through centuries of folklore, tradition, and ritual, hair is bound within a rich history. One’s locks have long been regarded as holding personal essence—acting as a physical conduit for energy, memory, and emotion. Brushing the hair has been used as a daily ritual to cleanse, remove negative or lingering energies, and protect one’s personal power. In Romani traditions, often rooted in broader European folk practices, hair is seen as a powerful and sacred conduit for personal energy. The act of brushing and tending to the hair becomes a ritual for protection and the maintenance of spiritual well-being.
On Sunday, June 13th 2026 we’re excited to bring this unique workshop to you, hosted in collaboration with CARV and Irma Schuur. Spend your afternoon creating your own ritual hairbrush from natural wood and boar bristle, marked with a magical sigil you’ve created and burned into its surface. Working with the understanding that hair can attract more than just admiration—it can also hold unwanted or lingering energy within its strands—you’ll learn how brushing can be used as a ritual practice to clear these accumulated energies from the hair. Each brush is paired with a rosemary and mint cleansing oil blend to support the ritual—cleansing, refreshing, and ready to use. You’ll leave with a ritual hairbrush—its magic, now yours.
