Calling all witches of conscience.

As the Witches’ New Year approaches, what would it mean to turn your magick towards justice?

Join award-winning witchcraft author and mentor Kelly-Ann Maddox and grassroots activist, educator and Activist Witch Alisha Ahmed (Ysha) for an energising afternoon exploring the intersection of witchcraft, activism, community and collective liberation.

This is a practical and inspiring exploration of how your deepest ethics can find a place within your sacred practice — from protecting marginalised communities and fundraising, to energy cleansing, community-building, blessing, shielding and spellwork for change.

Kelly-Ann and Ysha will explore how witches can bring their spiritual practices into the wider world, while building the confidence, boundaries, resilience and community needed to make meaningful change.

WE’LL EXPLORE

• Choosing and committing to the causes that matter to you
• Finding your sacred role and discovering how witchcraft can serve it
• Building confidence, boundaries and community
• Developing your own justice magick philosophy
• Using blessing, hexing, cord-cutting, shielding, shadow work, astral building and road-opening in activist practice
• Bringing consistency, vision and wellness to community work
• Finding your people, claiming your power and making things happen together
• Staying inspired and strengthened by witchcraft in the work towards collective liberation

The session will include a Q&A, along with a worksheet to help you process and develop your own ideas afterwards.

WITCHES’ NEW YEAR

Samhain marks a threshold — a time of endings, beginnings, reflection and renewal.

As we enter the spiritual year ahead, this gathering asks us to consider not only what we want to transform within ourselves, but what kind of world we want to help create.

Bring your convictions.
Bring your questions.
Bring your magick.

And point it towards justice.
