Book of Shadows Crafting Night – June Theme: Summer Solstice

BOOK of SHADOWS: Crafting Night for Creative Witches, Pagans and Mystical Folk
Learn about and actually work on creating pages for your own Book of Shadows!

JUNE’s BoS Night is Thurs. June 18th and focus will be Summer Solstice Pages

A Book of Shadows is a living, evolving magickal archive that supports your path of growth, discovery and learning as an Earth Mystic.

Book of Shadows come in many forms and styles, from simple or ornate. They play an important role as you record your insights, experiences, knowledge and document spells, recipes, correspondences and more.

If you have always wanted to create your own BoS, or dedicate time to working on one you already have, then the Monthly Book of Shadows Crafting Night is for you.

Join Winifred each month for a facilitated and interactive evening during which participants will directly work on their personal Book of Shadows. We will explore materials such as stamps, dyes, ink, dried flowers, collage, and other creative supplies to inspire us. Winifred will provide the magickal information (and materials) to facilitate the pages we create.

Each month you will get to work on a different set of pages that you can directly add to your own Book of Shadows. You don’t need to be an artist or a writer in order to create a beautiful and meaningful Book of Shadows. You just need to show up and have fun.

Whether you use a three ring binder, notebook or other kind of journal, we break our evening down into bite-size chunks to focus on just one or two pages with a featured topic. 

This will be an ongoing Monthly Event that folks can join as they feel called.

Our JUNE Book of Shadows Night is THURSDAY, JUNE 18th and our focus will be on making Summer Solstice Page

COST $25    Pre-Registration is encouraged, but you can pay at the door.  Space is limited to 10 attendees

HOW THE BOOK OF SHADOWS EVENINGS WORK: 

We will gather to tap into our creative magick, review knowledge relevant to the theme, and then make a page, or more, for our individual Book of Shadows.

Each month will feature a specific spiritual or magickal focus. Topics will draw from the Sabbats, Lunations, Magickal Tools, Symbolism, Correspondences, etc. Creative ideas such as tea staining, natural dyes, dried flowers, stamping, ink, etc will be explored over time.

Winifred will provide guidance and instruction to support folks as they create pages either directly into their journals or on separate pages that can be added to a BoS.

WHAT WINIFRED WILL PROVIDE

• The magickal/spiritual focus, with instruction and tips, for that specific BoS evening
• Creative materials, supplies and paper to support making your pages

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN BRING WITH THEM (OPTIONAL)

• Your own journal or notebook if you want to make your pages directly into your BoS (a basic art notebook works) OR Your own 3 Ring Binder if you just want to add the paper provided that you create upon.

WHO ARE THE BOOK OF SHADOWS EVENINGS FOR

• All levels of experience as a Pagan, Witch, and Earth Mystic, from beginner to more seasoned.
• All levels of creative skill and ability. You do not need to identify as an artist to attend!! You do not need to identify as writer to attend! You just need to be willing to have fun.
• Folks with open hearts when it comes to exploring the intersection of your spiritual path and creativity in order to make your Book of Shadows both a resource of information and creative adventure.
