Besom (Broom)
Join us bi-monthly for a crafting circle inspired by the eight sabbats of the Wheel of the Year. In each session, we’ll create a seasonal craft rooted in the traditions, symbols, and energy of the coming holiday, drawing inspiration from books like Crafting the Wheel of the Year, The Wheel of the Year: An Illustrated Guide to Nature’s Rhythms, and The Natural Home Wheel of the Year.
Expect an easy hands-on project each session, ready to take home or finish up later with confidence. Projects shift with the season: seasonal wreath making, witches’ bells, blooming floral charms, garden-harvested potions, crocheted pieces, pocket altars, beadwork, and other crafted adornments. No experience necessary. All materials and skill levels welcome.
