Moon Market at New Moon Rising is the ORIGINAL Knoxville Moon Market. Arts vendors, energy workers, food trucks, and just a great group of folks. Come for the vibe, leave with some magic. Every third Saturday (except Feb and March), noon-4 pm at New Moon Rising Gifts and Goods, 1520 N Central, Knoxville. You can expect to find tarot readings and folk magic curios at my booth.

Join us for an afternoon of magic, fun, and camaraderie. Discover the magic of candles in this one-hour workshop, with time for fellowship after the class. Learn how to set intentions, dress and charge a candle, and create your own simple ritual to take home. This workshop is very beginner friendly, but also appropriate for seasoned seekers.

In Defense of Witches by Mona Chollet, Part 1: The Witch as the Outsider. In this book club gathering, we will be discussing the Forward, the Introduction and the first two chapters of the book In Defense of Witches by Mona Chollet. We will explore:

• What the figure of the “witch” represents (both historically and symbolically)

• Women’s autonomy: historically feared or punished for living independently

• Childlessness as a personal choice vs. social expectation

• Modern parallels: how women today are still “on trial” for nonconformity

Part One is on Thursday, October 2nd at 7 pm, with Part Two being held on Thursday October 16th. Please register at blackcatfolkmagic.as.me so I can have a reliable headcount. This is a free event. Light refreshments provided. 18+, please.
