Storytime with Bookseller Monica
First Wednesdays at 1 PM 

Gather up your little readers and head down to Spiral for a monthly Storytime! Bookseller Monica will read aloud from a hand-picked children’s book full of magic and wonder. Selections will vary every month, but the chosen title will also be available for purchase just in case you fall in love. We kindly ask that children are with a guardian at all times in the shop. This event is free to attend!

Enchant Your World with Folk Magic
Saturday, March 18 at 3:30 PM

You might remember a time in your childhood where you found the world around you to be positively filled with magic. From your favorite tree in a park to making bread with your grandmother, everyday happenings and objects were infused with power, possibility, magic and enchantment. Just cuz you're no longer a kid doesn't mean you have to leave behind that sense of connection, possibility, and magic! This kind of magic is your birthright! Learn to return to this magic with folk witch and writer Lex Ritchie (they/them.) All you'll need is a pen and paper for notetaking (if you'd like!), water, snacks and a comfy place to sit. Any intuitive objects that assist you are welcome--candles, incense, etc! This workshop will take place virtually on Zoom.

In this workshop you'll learn:

- What folk magic is and who it is for

- How to discover the magic that is inside of you and all around you waiting for you to connect with it!

- The tools & practices of folk magic

- Guiding principles to help guide you in engaging with folk magic

- How to build your own folk magic practice

Tickets are $35 to join live or for recording access. A limited number of no-cost tickets are available with disabled, LGBTQIA and BIPOC community members in mind who may not have the funds, but would benefit greatly from this magical workshop. Visit Eventbrite to purchase tickets.
