Goddess Crowns and Pagan God Circlets - Workshop

Headpieces of leaf, flower and herb are an ancient Pagan tradition most famous among the Greeks and Romans. Crowns mean glory and immortality, yet they also involve magical lore, for each plant is chosen for its particular power.  Hannah Sanders' engaging illustrated talk illuminates the codes of plant meanings, then leads a how-to session to make your own. There is much more to the floral and herbal circlets we see in classical art -- and folklore -- than we even could have imagined. Join in the tradition!
