| Title Short | ASK A REAL LIFE WIZARD: Yep, Spells and Curses Work! Let's Talk About It! |
| Venue | Front Porch |
| Experience Description | Are you a practicing witch who loves magic but is wary of Jesus? Are you a Christian (or other Christ-haunted person) who wonders if you can love Jesus AND do magic? Do you have questions on where to go next with your practice? Are you still waiting on your letter from Hogwarts (or Brakebills)? If you answered yes to any of these, you most def don’t wanna miss this Q&A! As a professional practitioner, I’m well accustomed to questions like: ‘Is it ever right to curse?’ ‘Are love spells always wrong?’ ‘How do I tell if someone has used magic against me?’ ‘Is magic against my faith?’ ‘How do I start doing magic?’ We’ll dive into questions like these and more. Finally, we’ll end our time with a general blessing for all participants. |
