Please join us as we gather around the Witches Cauldron for an evening of community and conversation. This time is being set aside to allow Witches and witch-friendly community members to come together and discuss a topic of the evening along with a crystal of the month.
In May, the topic will be Astrology. Astrology has been practiced for over 4000 years. A fundamental notion underlying the practice of astrology is that there is a correlation between celestial bodies and the events on earth. Bring your questions about and/or best practices with traditional, modern, natal, mundane, and/or electional astrology. We can discuss the planets and their correspondences, zodiac signs, houses, and much more! If you have your exact birth time, bring that information and we can spend time pulling charts and discussing those as well.
The Crystal of the Month will be Moldavite! Moldavite is a rare, olive-green glass formed about 15 million years ago by a meteorite impact in southern Germany. A type of tektite (impact-melted glass), it is predominantly found in the Czech Republic. It has a unique, textured appearance and is known for supporting and facilitating transformation, aiding personal growth, protection, and opening the chakras (especially the heart and third eye).
