Botanical Magic Series - Craft a Witch bottle

  • Rudolf Steiner House 35 Park Road London, England, NW1 6XT United Kingdom (map)

Join me for a unique workshop combining folk magic, a sprinkle of aromatic botanicals, a dash of inspiration and positive intention to create your very own Witch Bottle.

Witch bottles, constructed in pre-modern England for protection against negative magic and malign influences, were deemed effective by their makers.  The workshop introduces the historic witch bottle, its construction and some of its grim contents.  The class will then explore its modern incarnation and different versions used in modern spirituality and everyday ritual for positive intention and magical inspiration.   Guidance on various materials, plants, resins, and their historical, astrological correspondences will be covered, in addition to suggestions for creating additional bottles for home use.

Using the knowledge learned, each person will create and decorate their own personalised witch bottle for a magical aim.  You can bring in any small item that has special meaning for you to include in the Witch bottle, such as an amulet, crystal, stone, feather, scroll etc!

Fee: £70.00

Fee includes: all supplies, materials, comprehensive notes and your handmade Witch Bottle, together with some complimentary botanicals to make further Witch Bottles at home.
