January 11 brings the International Witch Festival, a one-day gathering where magical traditions, shared knowledge, and community meet. It’s for anyone drawn to witchcraft, spirituality, or the mysteries of nature—whether you’re seasoned or just curious. Expect a full program that leans into ritual, energy work, magic, and old-world practices, presented through talks that keep things practical and grounded in tradition. The vibe is hands-on and welcoming—no gatekeeping, just exploration and connection.
Workshops and Oddities
Workshops focus on sharpening intuition and getting comfortable with tarot—think techniques you can actually use, not just theory. Visitors can also meet a surprisingly gentle star attraction: a crow-petting experience that’s equal parts whimsical and reverent. A themed market rounds things out with tools, decks, herbs, and craftwork that reflect the festival’s roots-and-ritual mood.
Closing With Wiccan Fire
The day ends with a Wiccan ritual led by Gardnerians, bringing formal structure and a sense of lineage to the finale—circle cast, energies raised, intentions set, community sealed. (Cover photo: Stefania Pelfini, La Waziya – Getty Images)
