Info: Explore the elemental witchy gifts and abilities held within the zodiac signs, and discover the magical spark that lives within us all. Through the wisdom of the zodiac from Aries to Pisces, we will explore the sacred energies of Fire, Earth, Air, and Water and how these elemental forces connect us to the universe, our intuition, and our innate magical power. As witches, we are co-creators with the universe, learning to channel these energies and live in greater harmony with the cosmic rhythm.

Info: Hathor: Goddess of Magic, Music & Motherhood
Connecting with Hathor in Modern Practice Through Ancient Traditions

​
Step into the Chapel of Hathor at the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and discover what ancient offerings, artifacts, and symbols reveal about the goddess and those who worshipped her.
​
Drawing on archaeological work with the Polish-Egyptian Expedition to Deir el-Bahari, this workshop explores Hathor’s worship, symbolism, and sacred traditions through excavation photographs, artifacts, and stories from the Hathor Cult Complex.
​
We will then explore how the ancient qualities associated with Hathor, including magic, music, motherhood, protection, healing, and devotion, can inspire meaningful rituals and spiritual practices today.
​
Discover the goddess behind the temple and explore how you can create your own respectful connection with Hathor

Info: We are constantly moving through cycles of becoming, creating, releasing, and remembering. Yet in modern life, many of our most profound transitions are left unacknowledged and unsupported.

In this workshop, we will explore the archetypal journey of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone, and the sacred rites of passage woven throughout a woman’s life. From menarche and motherhood to menopause and beyond, we will look at how these thresholds invite us to shed old identities, step into new versions of ourselves, and claim the wisdom each stage offers.

Blending ancient archetypal wisdom with reflection, ritual, and embodied exploration, this workshop invites you to honor the woman you have been, the woman you are becoming, and the wise woman who is always waiting within.

Info: ​Step into a sacred circle where the veil between worlds grows thin. Join us for an evening of deep connection as a gifted medium delivers heartfelt messages from loved ones in spirit. We’ll begin with a guided meditation to ground our energy and open our hearts — creating a sacred space for spirit to speak.

In this intimate and soul-nourishing gathering, you may witness validations, healing, and the gentle whispers of guidance from beyond. Whether you're seeking comfort, connection, or simply wish to experience the magic of mediumship, this evening offers a space of love, light, and spiritual presence.

Come with an open heart and allow spirit to speak.

Info: Most people know their zodiac sign, but very few understand the sign that quietly shapes how they experience every area of life: their Rising Sign.

In this engaging and practical session, mindful astrologer Lisa introduces the Rising Sign as a roadmap for personal growth rather than prediction. Participants will discover why the Rising Sign is one of the most important parts of the birth chart, how the twelve houses create a roadmap for life, and a simple way to use astrology for intentional growth rather than prediction.

Whether you’re brand new to astrology or have studied it for years, you’ll leave with one clear action you can begin taking immediately based on your own Rising Sign, along with a grounded and empowering approach to astrology as a lifelong personal practice.

Info: Have you ever made a wish on a birthday candle, carried a lucky charm, or lit a candle with a specific intention? If so, you've already experienced the foundations of spellcraft.
​
In this engaging and interactive workshop, author, teacher, and practitioner Aurora Moon will guide participants beyond following spell recipes and into the art of creating meaningful, personalized magick.

Explore how intention, symbolism, correspondences, timing, and intuition work together to create effective spellwork, while learning how everyday objects can become magical tools and how to confidently substitute ingredients when needed.
​
Through discussion and hands-on exercises, you'll discover the essential building blocks of spellcraft and learn how to create spells that are authentic to your own practice.

Whether you're new to witchcraft or an experienced practitioner, you'll leave feeling empowered to trust your intuition and create magick with purpose and intention.

Info: Your home is more than just a place to live, it is a reflection of your energy and one of the most powerful spaces for everyday magic.
​
In this workshop, we'll explore practical and accessible ways to infuse your home with intention, protection, abundance, and peace. Learn simple rituals, magical correspondences, and spiritual practices that can transform any living space into a sanctuary, whether you've just moved into a new home or want to refresh the energy of your current one.
​
Together, we'll explore house blessings and cleansing rituals, protection magic for the home, creating magical thresholds and doorways, and working with herbs, crystals, candles, and everyday household items. You'll also discover simple daily rituals to help keep your home's energy balanced and intentional.
​
You'll leave with practical ideas you can begin using immediately to create a home that feels grounded, protected, and filled with intention. Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike

Info: Magick isn’t reserved for altars and full moons. It can be found in your morning coffee, your daily commute, or even doing the laundry. In this live 60-minute workshop, Siobhan will show you how to transform ordinary moments into meaningful magical practices using simple intention, with no special tools or previous experience required.
​
Explore three simple everyday rituals, including a coffee intention, walking spell, and shower spell, while learning how to infuse everyday actions with personal power for protection, abundance, and clarity. Discover how to create a sustainable magical practice that fits naturally into your daily life, even beyond traditional rituals.
​
You’ll leave with a simple daily magick blueprint you can begin using right away. Perfect for witches looking for a practical and sustainable approach to their magical practice.
​

Info: Numbers are more than mathematics. They have long been viewed as symbols carrying unique energy, meaning, and insight into who we are.
​
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn the foundations and history of numerology, discover how to calculate your Life Path Number using your birth date, and explore what your number may reveal about your strengths, challenges, gifts, and life purpose. We’ll explore the meanings of Life Path Numbers 1–9, 11, 22, and 33, along with how numerology can support personal growth and self-discovery.
​
You'll also learn practical ways to begin working with your personal numbers in everyday life. Whether you're completely new to numerology or simply curious about what your birth date may reveal, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of yourself and the tools to continue exploring this fascinating practice.

Info: Have you ever felt disconnected from your oracle cards or unsure how to interpret the messages they hold? This interactive workshop is designed to help you strengthen your intuitive connection and build confidence in your readings.
​
The workshop begins with a live demonstration by the facilitator, followed by a guided activation to deepen your connection with your oracle cards. You'll then have the opportunity to practice reading for yourself and, if you choose, for others in a supportive and encouraging environment.
​
Whether you're new to oracle cards or looking to trust your intuition more fully, you'll leave with practical techniques to make your readings more meaningful and authentic. Handouts will be provided.
​
Please bring your own oracle deck to use during the workshop.

Info: Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An it harm none, do what ye will.”
​
Explore the deeper ethical, magical, and practical meaning behind one of modern witchcraft’s most famous maxims. We’ll trace the historical roots of the Rede, examine the “Harm None” paradox and the ethics of self-defense, banishing, and unintended consequences, and explore the difference between true, magically aligned Will and fleeting desire or ego. You’ll also discover practical ways to thoughtfully structure spells, word intentions, and set boundaries while honoring the true spirit of the Rede. Whether you’re new to the path or have practiced for years, this workshop invites you to consider the true weight of your Will and how it shapes your practice.

Info: Step beyond the basics of shadow work in this focused, 60-minute experiential ritual. Using shamanic drumming, low-frequency singing bowls, and targeted acoustic techniques, you’ll enter a receptive Theta brainwave state and safely connect with a specific aspect of the subconscious. Through guided somatic meditation, you’ll explore where a hidden emotion or trait may be held in the body, then use a tarot card, rune, or charm as a symbolic bridge for intuitive dialogue with your shadow aspect. The ritual concludes with high-frequency chimes and a simple 24-hour integration plan to help you carry the experience forward.
​
Some familiarity with shadow work is helpful, but this workshop is open to all levels. Please note that this is a deeper, experiential ritual designed to take you beyond intellectual exploration and into direct connection with the subconscious.

Info: Most witches begin by following rituals written by someone else. But deeper magick begins when you understand the principles behind ritual well enough to create your own.

In this workshop, we'll explore the foundations of Circlecraft, including intention, the elements, magical tools, energy raising, and sacred structure, while introducing the principles of creating living ritual through Intuitive Witchcraft. You'll discover how to move beyond prescribed formulas and begin crafting circles, ceremonies, and spellwork that respond to the energy of the moment and reflect your own unique magickal practice.

Rather than leaving with another ritual to memorize, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of the essential ingredients of ritual and the confidence to weave them together with intention, creativity, and intuition.

This workshop is for witches, priestesses, and soul-led space-holders who are ready to move beyond the script, deepen their practice, and create living magick.

Info: In this magical workshop, Angelina reveals how ancient ritual practices and modern energy work can support intentional creation. There is a sacred relationship between language, energy, and manifesting. Participants will learn how to raise their vibrations, clear energetic blocks and create meaningful rituals for transformation.

Discover how intentional words, candle rituals, herbs, oils, symbols and personal ceremonies can help you shift your energy and consciously create the life you desire.

Info: Join Naomi of Cohesive Intentions for an immersive workshop exploring the folklore and protective magic of hag stones, red thread, and skeleton keys. Discover the history and symbolism behind these powerful folk magic traditions and learn how they have been used to protect the home, guard thresholds, and connect with the unseen.

You’ll then create your own handcrafted hag stone protection talisman, weaving intention into every strand and blessing it with a traditional inspired protection chant you can continue using at home.

Whether you’re new to folk magic or an experienced practitioner, this workshop offers a meaningful opportunity to connect with ancestral traditions while creating a powerful talisman for your home or sacred space.

You’ll leave with your own handcrafted talisman, a deeper understanding of the folklore behind each element, a protection chant, and practical folk magic to incorporate into your everyday practice.

Info: Not everything you experience belongs in your energetic space.

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt different, left a conversation feeling drained, or carried the energy of an experience long after it ended? In this one hour introductory workshop, explore spiritual hygiene as a practical way to support your energetic and spiritual well being.

We’ll explore how environments and interactions can affect us, the difference between preparation, protection and cleansing, and why spiritual hygiene can be valuable even when nothing feels wrong.

Learn simple practices to incorporate into your spiritual work, whether you work with ancestors, practice ritual, read cards, develop your intuition, meditate, or simply want to become more aware of your surroundings.

We’ll also explore ways to reset after experiences that leave you feeling heavy or unsettled.

Leave with practical tools for greater energetic awareness.

Info: Join Naomi from Cohesive Intentions for an intimate exploration of the dumb dinner, a silent ritual rooted in folklore and ancestral remembrance. Together, we’ll uncover the history of this beautiful tradition, learn how to create a meaningful ancestral feast, and explore simple, respectful ways to deepen your connection with those who came before us.
​
Whether you wish to honour your bloodline, chosen family, beloved mentors, or the ancestors of your craft, this workshop offers a gentle approach to ancestral magic that is accessible to witches of every experience level. You’ll learn how to prepare a sacred space, create a meaningful ritual meal, and incorporate herbs, candles, and intention into your practice, while discovering ways to build a personal ancestral practice beyond the dinner table.
​You’ll leave with practical guidance for hosting your own dumb dinner and a deeper appreciation for the quiet wisdom found in silence, memory, and gratitude.
