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:

See you there!It's been long awaited but the day is finally here: the day we talk about DRAGONS! These favorites of the magical world, lords among legends, and symbols of wonder and magic alike have lore that expands along the entire world in one form or another. Their powers are as vast in our world as they are in our hearts and we are here to talk about it!
What is the dragon's role in our world and stories? Is it a real beast we can interact with? Where did they go? And what can a witch do with this force? We will talk about this and more so come with an itchy tongue and a curious mind as we discuss the legends of DRAGONS!!!
After our discussion, we'll be working a spell to taste test a sample of their power to call upon these magical creatures for the revelation of the most wonderous treasures that we each may have been seeking. - Fall Equinox RitualMalliway Bros. Spells, Charms, & Potions, Chicago, IL$10.00

See you there!Get your sweaters ready because Fall is here and we're diggin' some graves! When the seasons turn, we like to get together to work our compacts with the spirit world. In these rituals, we'll use our magic to aid the local spirits in what they might need during this time as they aid us in turn. This season's ritual is to lay the earth and its hard-working spirits to rest as a corpse, then in turn we may harvest from our accomplishments over the summer.

See you there!Join us in our autumn days as the veil thins and ghosts begin to make themselves known! We will gather at this time for a ritual that will aid us in perceiving the spirit world that now walks among us. This will allow us to better see their signs and hear their messages! Know before joining, however, that not all spirits wish to be seen, nor will what you see always be pleasant. But it's all part of the season!
As with all of our rituals, we will be asking for volunteers to help us cast the spell with some special rules. So be ready to raise your hand when the time comes! - Invocation to Baba YagaMalliway Bros. Spells, Charms, & Potions, Chicago, IL$14.00

See you there!Baba Yaga is the quintessential witch. From Slavic folklore, she embodies both the demonic hag as well as the cunning grandmother, though rarely both at the same time. The wonders of this witch have inspired fairy tales and legends for centuries. In this gathering, we will discuss some of the power behind Baba Yaga and the symbolism of her stories.
In our working, we will work to call this figure into our circle for a ritual of initiation. Be warned that if she chooses to join us, this will not be an easy magic. She is known to challenge those who meet her. In this spell of initiation, she will give you skill and power, but you must accept what trials she might make you face to accept it. And you may also be faced with the choice to lose something dear that holds you back.
