Please join CTCW’s Otherworldly on Zoom this Wednesday, July 27th at 8 PM Eastern Time.
Magic is the bloodstream of the Universe. It’s time to see all aspects of our lives as magickal, not simply the times spent in circle!
Many people close off one approach to the mystery by insisting that the workaday world is mundane. By reimagining the enchantment inherent in the world, we claim our birthright as magical creatures in a land crafted in myth.
