Magic Teas and Syrup Workshop - for Happiness and Wellbeing

Making a tea is the simplest form of herbal magic one can do, and in this workshop Hannah Sanders will cover the preparation of syrups, which can be used with teas or as independent magical remedies. Participants will learn the basic elemental/planetary magical correspondences for choosing ingredients, picking charms, blending chants. There will be a guided meditation to meet the herbal spirit.  This class is a wonderful introduction to the basics of herbal magic, teaching method, measurement, dosage, herb lore and history.
