The Magic Common Room: A Meeting with Magical Objects
19.30, 20.30, 22.00
We all have ancestors who practised some form of 'magic'.
From home-made amulets, to the trappings of sorcery, the handiwork they've left behind is all around us. We just need to remember how to see it... Holly Brewer invites us to meet with some 'old friends' from the world of magical objects. Many of these pieces can be (respectfully) handled and examined by visitors. They come as ambassadors from magical traditions near & far, to remind us that our ancestral magic is still here,
it's all around us,
it's just sleeping...
