I dug out a pile of "witchy" fabrics left over from making Covid masks so I am making stock for The Witch Craft Fair at Macdonald Museum on October 24th. First up...bookmarks for your book of spells.
Spiders and witches share an ancient, mystical bond rooted in folklore, where these eight-legged creatures often serve as loyal familiars, omens, or ingredients in traditional potion-making. In magical practices, the spider's intricate web is viewed as a powerful symbol of fate, time, and manifestation, mirroring a witch’s ability to weave intentions into reality. European superstitions even warned that a spider falling into a lamp flame meant witches were gathering nearby. Rather than fearing them, many modern practitioners respect spiders as sacred guardians of the home, embodying patience, dark feminine energy, and the delicate balance between creation and destruction.
