This course will also address the stigma attached to witchcraft and how to bring it into the modern world going beyond traditional folklore as well as the differences between witchcraft and Wicca and how to navigate that. All are welcome regardless of religious preference as witchcraft is not a religion is it a practice that can be woven into and used by any belief system effortlessly. It is a spiritual art form that is neither good nor evil nor bound by any deity or force and it is time we ended the stigma around its practice. It is also not an inherently harmful practice so any age can participate in the practice with the guidance of an adult or master. The journey begins here, or for those already experienced come and help educate others and build a community with us. Ravyn has been practicing the craft for over 30 years.

They are volunteering their time, making this course accessible to everyone in an effort to educate our community on this topic. ?The study of the arcane and mysteries of the universe alongside science has been a sole focus of theirs for the majority of their life. Outside of the practice, Ravyn is also a CNA and a chef with a life dedicated to the health and joy of others while seeking a complete understanding of the universe as a whole.

Can you knit and purl? Then you can use one long loop knitting needle to make two toe-up socks at the same time with an invisible seamless cast on, easy gusset heel, a signature rib, and a stretchy bind off. If you’ve taken this class in the past, please join me again. The pattern and template have been significantly revised. Your pattern can be used for any “yummy” yarn of your choice, but for this class, a light colored #4 weight yarn would work best, and a 47-inch long loop needle with a #6 guage that will yield about five stitches per inch. We’ll also spend time exploring your choices from a long list of various knitting tips and techniques. Please bring your long loop knitting needle, and your yarn divided into two balls.
