Welcome to the Pagan & Witchcraft Society 🌙✨
Welcome to the Pagan & Witchcraft Society (WitchSoc for short), a vibrant and inclusive community dedicated to embracing the magic that lies within and beyond. 🌟
🪐🌿 Embrace the Magic: Our society serves as a sanctuary for all individuals, whatever your path may be! We honour and celebrate the diverse traditions and practices of paganism, witchcraft, and the occult. If you have an idea for an event you'd like to see/host, please contact us! We'd love to hear your ideas and learn together from whatever new knowledge you bring!
🌕🌑 Magick Mondays: We are the home of #MagickMondays, a weekly evening spent exploring spell-craft, divination, herbalism, and more. These enchanting evenings are brimming with knowledge, practical workshops, and lively discussions. By default, our events are held in the Faith and Reflection Centre, which is in Building 6 by Highfield Interchange. Our events usually run from 17:30-19:30.
🌿🕯️ Rituals & Sabbats: We honour the sacred cycles of nature and the turning of the seasons by celebrating Sabbats, full moons, new moons, and other celestial events. Our rituals are a tapestry of ancient traditions and modern interpretations, harmonising with the ebb and flow of the universe. Anyone is welcome along to our rituals, even if you do not belong to any particular path.
✨🎉Enchanting Socials: We host a few socials across the year, usually around the Sabbats. Our 'home base' for socials is The Bedford, the nearest bus stop for which is The Giddy Bridge stop.
🎉🌟 Join Us for Free! We are a completely free society and offer free workshops, socials, activities, etc! Occasionally we may have workshops or socials that require payment, but we will always try and avoid these and let you know in advance. Once you're all signed up, you'll be added to our mailing list where we send out a regular newsletter. We also run an active discord server for members to chat, ask questions, and get to know each other.
