Witches are our teachers, wise ones, brujx, mentors, herbalists, empaths, storytellers, and weavers of the world. Witches help us tap into our innate powers, and through community, they guide us closer to collective healing.  The Modern Witches Confluence community is creating a sacred container for those witch-curious, witch-identifying, and magically minded to authentically connect and learn. Our community includes seekers, astrologers, healers, shape-shifters, mystics, artists, activists, and more. What makes our community so radiant is the diversity of spiritual paths that are practiced and honored here, each with respect and reverence.    ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨⠀    Learn More About Our Community and The Modern Witches Organization via our website modernwitches.org and our Instagram @witchesconfluenceWhat is mystery? The unknown, the deep, the otherworld, the shrouded, beyond the veil... The great, the goddexx, the unknowable... mystery is spirit, in all of its many manifestations... For our 4th annual gathering, we turn to welcome mystery! In a world full of uncertainty and ripe with potential for transformation, how can honoring mystery support us in our daily lives and our liberatory work? Together we will celebrate the growing mystery in our lives, journey to the underworld, bow to the goddexx, and return with a potion to guide our collective healing.  GET YOUR TICKET FOR THE CONFLUENCE ⁠https://modernwitchesconfluence.regfox.com/modern-witches-confluence-2021-welcome-mystery ⁠CHECK OUT OUR SCHEDULE  ⁠https://modernwitches.org/2021-confluence
