Announcing Bewitching the Waters Symposium

Something new and watery this way comes!

Water, Witchcraft, Shapeshifting, Spirits, Folkmagic, and underworld currents.

Imagine a symposium about Witchcraft, folk magic, and Water featuring some of the most amazing Witches in the world speaking on Water Witchcraft, Water Magic, Water Folklore, and more!

I know that a decade ago I couldn’t have imagined something like this. Though it was something I had always wanted! I always yearned for a place where water and witchcraft were the focus. A place where there were detailed, in-depth, and advanced workshops, lectures, and content that not only focused on water but brought you deeper and into a closer relationship to the mysteries of water. For a long time, it seemed like, I was the only person who wanted this. But times have changed, and I honestly find it amazing!

We don’t have to imagine any longer! Bewitching the Waters is here! The Water Spirits have always whispered in my ear. They have always urged me to be the one to pave the way for others. I remember how lonely and empty it was and I don’t want that for others! I want there to be places to take deep dives into water, witchcraft, and esoteric practices!

Our first year will take us deep into the mysteries of water through the lens of Witchcraft, folk magic, Shapeshifting, Dream Work, Scrying, Magical Elixirs, Poison Plants, and so much more!

Participants can expect a stellar lineup of bewitching workshops and lectures that focus on water witchcraft from around the world!

It is sometimes strange to look back in time and see how much Water Witchcraft and Water Magic have evolved! I remember more than a decade ago I started saying I was a “Water Witch” and was met with a gaggle of naysayers telling me there was no such thing! I should just stick to Sea Witchery and that the only thing associated with a Water Witch was dowsing. However, I knew deep down in my soul this was not the case, and set out to change the minds of everyone in the world. I did just that.

I began teaching Water Witchcraft in the Nine-month Water Magic Course and eventually published my first book Water Witchcraft: Magic and Lore from the Celtic Tradition. However, I never really looked to the future at that time. I never took a moment to sit and imagine what a world with Water Witchcraft as a respected and recognized path would really look like. Today hundreds if not thousands of people identify as a Water Witch or some variant, and almost every practitioner incorporates Water or Water Witchcraft into their practice. It is both crazy and amazing to see how the Witchcraft world has changed!

In fact, things have changed so drastically that I can now host full conferences on esoteric, magical, and occult water topics! It is really exciting to see this come full circle! It has all been worth it to see Water Witchcraft rise to its rightful place next to the rest of the many paths in the world.

At Bewitching the Waters Symposium you can expect workshops, lectures, and presentations that cover a variety of topics such as

Tea Magic
Scrying
Dream and Water Witchcraft
Regional and Cultural Witchcraft and Folklore
Dew and Flower Essences
Stump Water and Springs
Gem Elixirs
Creek Magic
Cenote Magic
River Folklore
Currents of the Underworld
Water and the Yoruba
Water Nymphs
River Goddesses
And more!

Keynote speaker Judika Illis will be presenting a lecture on A Hungarian Femme Fatale: A Beautiful but Dangerous Water Spirit. I am really looking forward to this lecture!

I will be speaking about Shapeshifting Sirens and my co-host Laurelei Black will be speaking on Goetic Water Spirits.

That is not all though! You can also expect to take part in a workshop with some of your favorite Witches like Mhara Starling, Madame Pamita, Moss Mathey, Ehloim Lefar, Salicrow, and Nicholas Pearson. There will also be workshops from some of your favorite folklorists such as Cory Thomas Hutcheson, Callieach’s Herbarium, and Sarah Lawless just to name a few!

Topics cover a wide range of watery presentations from regional waterways to the use of crystals in water, dew magic, flower essences, goetic water spirits, and shapeshifting sirens.

Join us on November 10th, 11th, and 12th to watch the live symposium! If you can’t attend live. Do not worry! Recordings will be available to everyone who purchases a ticket for 6 months after the live event. Visit www.WaterWitchcraft.com for more details!
