Salem MA is the capital city of the modern witch archetype. Power accumulated through the continuous drishti(focused attention) of popular culture creates a vortex of psychic energy that can be tapped into for magical workings. Through meditation, discussion, and ritual actions we will immerse ourselves in the power of the witch and create a lasting connection to the nearly limitless energy of her mandala. 

In guided collaborative ritual we will:

-explore of some of the primary symbols of the witch and establish connection to them

-invoke and radiate the power of the witch through guided meditation and chant

-establish ourselves as beacons of witch-power in our unique expressions

Optional ingredients to use when doing this ritual at home: oil, water, and sprig of dittany of Crete (or rosemary) for Xematiasma, a broom, wand, cauldron, blade, mortar and pestle, crystal ball, book of shadows, and witch’s hat, water, candle, and sweet food or fruit offering, and clearing/empowering incense

About the Presenter:

Nick has been crafting and guiding rituals since the 1980s based on Greek folk magic, modern witchcraft theory, and the techniques of tantric yoga. Nick is also the owner of Hedgecraft Ritual Arts, and has been reading Tarot Cards for over 35 years. Originally taught how to read playing cards by his Greek/Roma family members, he took up Tarot as a natural extension of what the playing deck offers. His first (official) paying job was as a reader and spirit channel at a witchcraft shop in northern Massachusetts in the late 1980s. He has gone on to build a large clientele base of long term and repeat customers - many of  whom started with him in the 80s! In addition to his mastery of cards Nick has been practicing Witchcraft, Yoga and Meditation as a student and teacher for decades. His time spent as a Buddhist monk (Tantric tradition) and a Yoga teacher leader and teacher of teachers deeply  informs his approach to Tarot, Divination, and Spiritual Work.
