"Harvest Spell Jar" for Autumn Equinox/ Mabon with Salisbury Crafty Coven

Gather in a friendly group with Lynette, The White Witch of Wiltshire, and Artist, Tamsin Loveday for this gentle, crafty workshop celebrating Autumn Equinox and Mabon.

We will gather together 3 mini-makes into a spell jar to carry the best of Summer into the darker months of WInter. Weave a mini Wand/charm, write a mini gratitude or intention scroll, and create a mini-Corn Dolly, add herbs and crystals, and seal up!

We will hear about Autumn Equinox and about the tradition of crafting spell jars, including what to do with them when their work is done.

Autumn Equinox is a time of balance and a moment to celebrate the second harvest, of the fruits of bramble, tree and earth. This workshop is an opportunity to bring some creative joy to your celebration and make something truly personal imbued with your intentions.

Lynette will lead us in a short welcoming and cleansing ritual to create a safe space and help us to set our intentions. Lynette will share information about colours and symbols of the festival and the traditional pracice of making spell jars, including what to do when their work is done.

Tamsin will talk a little about her process of making Wands, and support all creative aspects of the workshop, making sure that we all have everything we need for a safe and companionable evening of crafting.

Refreshments, materials and eventbrite fees are included in the ticket price.

You will recieve materials to make a small corn doll, a mini wand and a mini scroll.

This magical workshop will be hosted in the Barefoot Bindery Studio upstairs at Fisherton Mill, Salisbury.
