Enchanting Our Thresholds: Rituals to Bless and Protect

Doors are the boundaries of our homes. They are a means to let some things in and keep other out. A "welcome" mat tossed at the front door doesn't say much about what we actually want to welcome, or what we'd rather keep out of our homes, apartments, and rooms.

Wreaths, bells, talismans, charms, horseshoes, mezuzot, bundled herbs, and brooms. For generations, women have found ways to mark their doors, to bless and protect their homes.

We'll lean into the psychology of intentionality, "mind-magic" techniques of manifestation, and the ways ritual creates embodied experience.
I'm welcoming you across my own threshold, into my home, to learn about and create Threshold Charms to bless and protect your homes. Expect bountiful food and arrays of dried flowers, herbs, bells, and charms for making your hangings. I will talk about our associations with all the supplies…you know… “what do you think of when you think of lavender”? and use that identify what we do and don’t want to invite into our home. No glue guns here. We'll be binding, stitching, weaving, and tying our intentions for our homes into being.

Autumn is a threshold: light to dark, warmth to cold, growth to rest. It is most definitely the Season of the Witch. Join me for some Witchy Psychotherapy.
