THE SHADOW SOCIETY

Become the witch you once only dreamed of being.

You can read every witchcraft book on the shelf. But at some point, don’t you want to see what your own magic can actually do?

The Shadow Society is where we get our hands dirty with witchcraft. Every month, we take on a new corner of the occult, cast spells, and work directly with deities we’ve only read about. We get to find out what happens when we actually step into the mysteries ourselves.

We’ve got a whole society of witches experimenting, comparing notes, and seeing just how far we can take our magic. We’ve got the rituals ready and a whole lot of magic to try. You just get to jump in.

And this November? We’re going to meet the Ancestors.

enter THE SHADOW SOCIETY

November enrollment closes November 5th.

Here’s what we’re getting up to in November.

First up, we’re making contact with ancestors we’ve never even met.

We’re starting by making simple offerings (I usually give mine coffee!) and experimenting with communicating with our ancestors. We’ll see who comes through, what they have to say, and whether they might have a few things to teach us.

We’ll also be digging into the ancestral shadow. What if some of the things you’ve never quite understood about yourself actually run through generations of your family? And what if there are gifts in that ancestral line that you haven’t even begun to tap into?

Then, on November 12, we’re bringing that ancestral connection into a live spellworking ceremony. We’ll call on the power of our ancestral lines and use it to cast spells for something we each want to bring into our lives.

And we’ve also got a knot magic workshop, a guest lecture on homeopathic miasms with Kelly, and an ancestral harvest feast where we’ll gather over good food, swap family stories, and hopefully uncover some juicy family gossip.

JOIN US FOR NOVEMBER

November enrollment closes November 5th.

Your witchcraft calendar is about to get a lot more interesting.

  • A new kind of magic to get your hands into every month. Ever wanted to work with Lilith, Circe, or Baba Yaga? Experiment with glamour magic? Find out what happens when you call on your ancestors? Each month, we’ll spend four weeks getting to know a different kind of magic firsthand, through rituals and initiations. The more you actually do, the more you begin to discover what you’re capable of.
  • Live ceremonies & initiations. Come do some serious magic with us! I’ll guide you through journeys, initiations, and spellwork live, and afterward we get to compare notes on what everyone experienced.
  • Practice Hall. Think of it as a hands-on witchcraft workshop! We’ll learn a new technique, give it a try together, and see what we discover along the way.
  • Guest lecturers. Poisonous plants, graveyard magic, tea leaf reading, even homeopathy. Every month, we bring in a guest practitioner to teach us something fascinating about their specialty. And yes, you get to pick their brains!
  • A whole society of witches to hang out with. Come to our end-of-month gatherings for a Witch’s Night, an ancestral feast, or whatever we’ve got planned! And between gatherings, there’s always someone in the forum who wants to hear about your latest magical experiment (including the weird parts).

Follow the Core Path each month, and pick and choose from the extra workshops and gatherings whenever you like

Our November Mystery begins November 1, with live gatherings throughout the month.

Harvest Feast with Brittany

We’re closing out our month with an ancestral feast! Grab something delicious to eat or drink.

Turns out, witchcraft is even more fun with friends.

More people than ever are finding their way to witchcraft, and I think we’re living during a pretty exciting time.

And in the Society, we’re NOT waiting until we’ve mastered every occult text to get started. We’re jumping in, experimenting with our own magic, and sharing what happens along the way.

And I want to see just how good we can get together.

MEET THE WITCHES BEHIND THE MAGIC.

You’ll be seeing a lot of these three! We’re the ones dreaming up the Mysteries, guiding your rituals, and getting everyone together. Plus, we bring in guest practitioners throughout the year to share their own specialties (and introduce us to some wonderfully strange things).

Alex

Founder & Lead Instructor

I’m the founder of Tea & Rosemary, and I’ve been practicing witchcraft for nearly 15 years. I’ve spent a lot of that time exploring the deeper initiatory mysteries, but I’m just as likely to be making a spreadsheet to see which of my spells actually worked. I love a good magical experiment, and I’m a big believer in making witchcraft part of regular life rather than something we save for special occasions.

My own practice changed enormously when I started working directly with deities and exploring the mysteries for myself. That’s a big part of why I created The Shadow Society. I wanted other witches to have the chance to see what they could discover, too.

Brittany

Lead Facilitator

Brittany was a Shadow Society member before she became the witch hosting our gatherings! Her own practice is rooted in Celtic mythology and folk magic, and she has a particular soft spot for the stranger, darker bits of folklore. These days, she’s the one getting us all together for Witch’s Nights, ancestral feasts, and whatever else we’ve dreamed up for the month. Expect good conversation and probably a few stories you won’t hear at a normal dinner party.

Maredy

Resident Tutor

Maredy is a trained Wiccan priestess, herbalist, and language teacher who’s spent over 12 years working with medicinal plants, including six years working with patients in Mexico. She’s also got a fascination with astrology, plant spirits, and magical traditions from around the world. In Practice Hall, she’s the one showing us how to actually do some of this stuff. Come ready to get your hands dirty and add a few new tricks to your Craft.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Shadow Society isn’t an old occult school where you spend years studying before you’re allowed anywhere near the mysteries. If something here is calling to you, you can begin.

You don’t need to know how to work with a deity before you approach one (many of our students work with a deity for the first time in the Society), or master trance before you enter it. We’ll give you what you need, and then we’ll do the work.

You’ll try things, compare experiences with your fellow witches, and get better by actually practicing witchcraft!

Most of our live gatherings take place on weekday evenings, usually between 6–8 PM Eastern, although times occasionally vary depending on the event or visiting instructor.

All live gatherings are recorded and added to the Society afterward so you can watch the replay!

Most witches can complete the Core Path in about 1–2 hours a week. That’s the heart of each month’s Mystery, with the main lessons, rituals, and practices that guide you through the experience.

Then there’s Enrichment, which is all the extra fun stuff! Practice Hall workshops, guest lectures, and additional magical practices for when you’re curious to explore further.

You can have the full monthly experience just by following the Core Path. Everything else is there when you want more.

You’ll get immediate access to The Shadow Society and all archives.

You’ll also have access to the Society forum, where you can ask questions, share what you’re working through, and follow along with everyone else throughout the month.

The Mysteries begin November 1st, with our first official drop.

The Shadow Society is a monthly membership with no long-term commitment. You’re welcome to stay for as many Mysteries as you’d like, and you can cancel anytime before your next billing date.

Each month brings something entirely new to explore, so there’s always another adventure waiting around the corner!

THIS NOVEMBER, WE REMEMBER.

The Ancestral Mysteries begin November 1.
The dead have not forgotten us. Perhaps it’s time we remembered them.
