Saturday, April 18 at 2pm, $35/child. One ticket is good for one child and a guardian.
Is your little one interested in magic? Have they taken to crafting potions from mud and weeds? Casting spells with a cool stick they found on the playground? Hunting around the neighborhood in search of ghosts? Then you’ve come to the right place!
Join Fern, seasoned sorceress and former nanny, for an afternoon of kid-friendly magical education. Intrepid students will be introduced to the concept of animism, a foundational belief in many magical traditions, as well as the basics of spellwork, ritual, and ways to safely connect to and sense spirits.
Fern Deadwick (they/them) is a völva, trollkona, and a multi-media artist. Growing up on a farm in New Hampshire, they have spent their entire life interacting with spirits. Their practice is deeply rooted in the animist beliefs of the Norse tradition, and informed by their relationships to the spirits of land and place. Day-to-day, Fern can be found crafting in their studio or out in the garden spending time with their poisonous plants.
This class will take place in the Deadwick's Common Room. It begins at 6pm and will run for one and a half hours. Please enter through the front of Deadwick's upon arrival, at 19 Sheafe St. and allow time for parking. Please call us at 603-319-6946 if you are running late.
