What we’re about
Magic awaits with the Malliway Bros!
Witches, wizards, sorcerers, warlocks, enchanters, and magic-makers of all kinds will find community and fun at the Witches' Conclave. We offer workshops and rituals focusing on various aspects of witchcraft with an emphasis on being operative and results-oriented. Practitioners of all skill levels are welcome to attend our meetings, whether you're a fresh witchling just starting off or have been working the weird ways of witchcraft for ages.
We provide inclusive rituals for the phases of the moon and open celebrations for the witch's sabbats. Our classes focus on a wide spectrum of traditional and operative magic, drawing inspiration from our time in the wilds of England's west country.
The Conclave often gathers at our witch shop, Malliway Bros, located at 1407 W Morse Avenue, in the bustling Roger's Park neighborhood of Chicago.
THE WITCHES' CONCLAVE CODE OF CONDUCT
No matter our paths, what spirits we work with, or what forces we conjure, at the Witches' Conclave let's gather in peace. We are here to learn and to spread our magic and in order to do this, there are a few guidelines to follow:

Spirit of the Witch
From ancient pagan fertility cults to modern Witchcraft, this workshop will explore the evolution of these traditions to showcase how the craft has evolved into what it is today. We will explore how early rites honoring nature, seasonal cycles, and ancestral spirits gave rise to powerful magical systems, and how these practices endured over the years. By tracing the transformation of witchcraft through historical, spiritual, and cultural lenses, this workshop will reveal how the craft has evolved into a multifaceted, living tradition, one that continues to thrive as a path of power.As always, there will be a ritual at the end of this workshop.

Additional Details
This meetup is intended for practicing solitary witches who are interested in exploring structured group work. Unlike other rituals offered through Malliway Bros, which cover a broad range of practical magical techniques, these gatherings focus specifically on helping practitioners integrate their personal, solitary practices into a collective setting. They also offer an opportunity for witches to deepen and refine their spiritual path as it relates to the Craft.This gathering, facilitated by Blake, is open to all who identify as witches, regardless of experience level. In working through these classes, participants will ideally have developed or further refined their personal spirituality as it relates to the practice of witchcraft. At the conclusion of our thirteen moons, it is my goal that you will have the skillset to either move forward to form your own circle or continue on to develop your own practice using the methods we’ve learned throughout the year.
Although this group will continue to build upon itself meeting after meeting, you’re welcome to join in at any time throughout the year.

See you there!The idea of reincarnation is a strong belief in many witchcraft traditions. There are plenty of mythologies and cultures that each give their own systems and mythologies for this phenomena. In this class we'll talk about our past lives, how these lives effect us today, and how some may dip into their spirit's pool to discover who these lives were. We will be working through a few of these methods throughout this class.
