One of lesser Pagan holidays is Litha or Midsummer which occurs between June 19th-22nd, during the Summer Solstice. It is a time when faerie folk pass into the human world at dusk to offer blessings and its also a time to harvest, prepare and celebrate the abundance of Mother Earth. Join @thereplantedwitch to go over history and traditions and associated magical correspondances. We'll spend the rest of the afternoon witch-crafting together a fairy ladder, sun plaque to hang at home, and a mugwort and lavender dream pillow to encourage dreaming of the fairy lands.
About your instructor
Rachel is The Replanted Witch. She has been fascinated with witchcraft, history and magic from an early age and spent her free time practicing spells with her best friends. Rachel actively studies folk practices and rituals related to her heritage, focusing primarily on the British Isles and Slavic traditions, but isn't limited to them. After meeting the owners of The Blackbird House in Old Wethersfield, she took them up on their offer to begin leading her Witchcraft 101 workshops and hosts a book group on site called Witchy Reads. Subsequently, Rachel connected with the owner of Wildcraft Herb Shoppe in East Hampton and began teaching hands-on herbalism classes. In her free time, you can find her foraging, researching plants and remedies, visiting historic sites, whipping up kitchen magic and practicing her needlework. To find out more information on her upcoming workshops, book selections and more magical information, you can find her on Instagram @thereplantedwitch.
