Witches’ Stags and Hares

Witches have long been associated with hares, and witches definitely have an affinity with antlered and horned animals – in England, they are often linked to stags, including figures such as Herne the Hunter. Rebecca Beattie leads participants through some historical sources which link witches to these two enigmatic creatures, and from there she turns to the ways participants can bring the hare and the stag into their own magical lives. There will be an illustrated talk followed by Q & A and a guided meditation.
