UNDERWORLD: A Hades and Persephone Journey
Join Hades on the first day of Spring in his Underworld Feast Hall as he pays tribute to his beloved Persephone before she departs for the World Above! Come dressed in your best Greek garb and enjoy a Spring Ritual, dessert, and a Hades-themed gaming tournament. You are invited to bring flowers for the spring altar (these flowers will be then gifted to The Dead in the Cemetery before we leave that night.)
Create and bless your own talisman to take with you, visit one of our Seers for a reading, and gather around the fire to learn the Greek arts of Cledonomancy and Oomancy (egg reading), and speak with the Ancestors using the Gorgon's Knot Astragalomancy set.
Class and the tournament will be led by veteran Witchcraft mentor Tava Baird, who will guide you through a variety of experiences to help you celebrate and connect with your ancestors. Come and play your part in Hades' Hall to discover what Spring holds in store for you!!
Space is limited and your class fee covers all materials and a donation to Green Hill Cemetery.
This event is supported by the Mystical Musings Podcast and The Simple Life Metaphysical Shop in Frederick, MD.
