Getting Your Hands Dirty: Justified Hexing

Featuring Amber Hallacy

Saturday, August 8

9:00 am

St Mary Salon 2 [map]

Full Schedule

Anyone who has ever been on a witchcraft forum or in a social media group on magic knows that the minute that the subject of hexes and curses are brought up, two different types of witches come crawling out of the woodwork. The responses run from “You should never do baneful magic! Harm none! Remember the 3-Fold Law” on over to the opposite end with witches bragging about death spells and cursing someone because they said something the witch didn't like. So when is casting a curse acceptable? This workshop will focus on:

  • Magical ethics
  • The difference between a binding, a jinx, a hex, and a curse
  • What makes a working justified
  • Different spells and workings that can be done
