Magical Herbs for Halloween (All Hallows Eve)
A hands-on family fun workshop to foster creativity, imagination, and good magic.
This workshop is for wizards and muggles of all ages and generations. We will explore the origins of the special Celtic festival that celebrates the oncoming of winter and the enchanting dark half of the year.
We will learn about the historical properties of some magical herbs
and prepare our own 'Conjure' bags for good fortune on Halloween Eve.
Note: The origins of All Hallows Eve or "Samhain" (pronounced 'sow'en) take us back in time to around 27 BCE. The Celtic peoples believed in magic, unseen spirits, and the benefits of protective rituals to ensure prosperity and health. It is believed that the roots of herb magic are in the individual plant energies.
