Magical Online and London Events Over Lammas

Here's a list of weird, wonderful and witchy events over rthe next week or so, including Lammas celebrations at the start of August. Many activities are online, but an increasing number are outdoors or in-person. I generally list events in the UK, especially in or near London, but some are outside that time zone.

Notes: I am not responsible for the content of these events except my talks on poppets and Magic for the Month. Contact the organisers directly with questions. I generally list things in the UK, especially in or near London, but some are outside that time zone. Where a practitioner is offering information about magical wellbeing and healing, this is *not* medical advice. If you are attending an in-person event, make sure you are aware of regulations.
