Step into the enchanting realm of herbal alchemy with our Lunar Magic Protection Spell Jar class. Under the guidance of Lilith, immerse yourself in the art of creating personalized herbal spell jars for protection.

During this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the essential properties of each herb used as well as the importance of the lunar cycle in spell work. Lilith will share her knowledge on selecting and blending herbs, ensuring that each ingredient harmonizes with your intentions and desired outcomes.

Upon completion of the class, you will depart with your meticulously prepared herbal spell jar, a candle intricately carved with your intention, and a ceremonial spoon. Upon the arrival of the New Moon, you will initiate your intention-setting journey by lighting your candle and sealing your spell jar using a brief ritual that will be taught during the workshop.

About the Instructor: Lilith has been an herbal witch for much of her life but turned to it more diligently and studiously in 2020. She has since created an educational website for other herbal witches and lay people to learn the history and mysteries behind their favorite household herbs to bring more magic into people’s lives. Lilith has a degree in religion which she applies to her craft by studying various faiths’ uses of magic and ritual in order to better understand her own magic and mysticism. Lilith is the GM of Community at Putnam’s vine/yard in which she works to create community and care among the staff and the upper valley through events and experiences unique to the P’s space.

Both countries benefit from innovative winemaking techniques and a commitment to sustainability, resulting in wines that reflect their unique landscapes and cultures.
