Weaving Enchantments ~ Creating Magickal Jewelry with Caine
Friday, June 26th, at 7 PM

One of humanities greatest talents is that of being able to make and use tools. Building on the premise that reality is a tapestry, participants will learn the basic skills necessary to transform mundane objects into powerful magical tools. This allows for the practitioner to maximize their efforts in everything from spellwork to day-to-day tasks like shielding and cleansing.  During class we will create:

– A shielding tool
– A healing tool
– A focusing tool

It is highly recommend that participants bring:

-One ring (Any kind will do)
-One necklace (Any materials are fine)
-One glass stone/flat marble (such as the kind from a fish tank)

We will be using these items as our “blanks” that will be magically enhanced. In addition it is also recommended you have on hand:

-A journal
-Snacks for grounding
-Pillows/blankets for comfort.
-Smoke or liquid cleansing tools such as dry burnable herbs or essential oils.

Our friendships influence the path we’re on. What’s the best way to build a strong energetic framework? Orlog, Wyrd, and Luck are important parts of Heathen spirituality.
