Magical Charms Workshop

Do you often stuff your pockets with bits of the natural world? Sticks, feathers, stones, and gems call out to you and fill the spaces in your rooms and altars? Another way to work with the energies of these objects is by directing it into a magical charm! A charm is a powerful object that carries a specific energy that you have charged it with. Charms have been used throughout history for protection, luck, love, abundance, and intention setting. In this workshop you will learn how to clearly set an intention and to work with your intuition to find the magical materials for your charm. We will use the natural world around us to create our charms, discuss the magical properties of these elements using our intuition, and learn some ways to collect respectfully and with gratitude. We will create our charms using your intuition as well as symbology, the magic of colors, gems, tree and plant magic and the mysterious process that is creation.

You will leave class with a finished charm as well as the information on how to ground yourself, how to make offerings, how to listen for magical information / your intuition, some of the magical properties of plants and trees, and how to magically charge an object.
