A monthly community meetup for magical folks brought to you by The Magick Makers & Fullsteam Brewery.
Witches Brew
Connect with the local witch, pagan, and spiritual community.
Join us for an enchanting evening at Witches Brew! This in-person event is a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow witches, mystics, and craft-curious folks. Mark your calendars for the second Wednesday of every month from 6-8 PM at Fullsteam Brewery.
Whether you're a seasoned witch or just starting your magical journey, come out to share your knowledge, learn from others, and make lasting connections in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Special Edition for May
Witch Swap
Grab your gently used, homemade, or homegrown witchcraft supplies, tarot and oracle decks, books, crystals, and any other witchy accoutrements that are ready to find its way to its next home. You’ll be able to swap and trade with other witches. It’s a great way spring clean the broom closet, help another witch out, and keep things out of the landfills.
How does the swap work?
Arrival
Once you arrive at the swap, you’ll get yourself and your witchy goods setup at your table spot. The swap works like a silent auction, and there will be swap sheets (provided) that you’ll fill out and place with your goods. This is where people can “bid” for the items you have with you.
Perusing & Mingling
After everyone is setup (usually takes about 30 minutes), the fun begins! Everyone spends the next 30-60 minutes perusing all the magical items available, jots down what they’d be willing to swap on items their interested in, and chatting about all the fun things that are up for grabs.
Reviewing & Swapping
I’ll sound the call to head back to your table to review the bids, and then the swapping begins. This part can get a little chaotic which makes it all the more exciting. You may want to scoot over to the things you really want first swap offerings in hand. The best part about swaps is that it’s totally cool to say no without any hard feelings if you’re not interested in the swap offering.
Revel in Your Bounty
Enjoy all the fresh, new witchy supplies you get to go home with and the new witchy friends you made along the way. Load up your box with your treasures, and drop any leftover swap items that you don’t want into the donation box. I’ll donate any relevant books to the NC Women’s Prison Book Project and the rest will be taken to a non-affiliated donation center.
If you’d like to join the swap meet, register below to make sure we save a spot for you!
Registration is required if you’d like to participate. For this first swap, it’s limited to the first 10-15 people that register. You’ll receive an information email a few days before the swap that includes tips for a great swap and more about what to expect.
If you have any questions in the meantime, you can email me at hello@themagickmakers.com.
If you don’t want to participate in the swap but still want some of that good, good, witchy community, the regular meetup will happen alongside the swap meet.
