Deep Winter Magic: Witchy Arts and Crafts
with Mary Evans of Spirit Speak and Jeff Hinshaw of Cosmic Cousins
Go deep into the winter with Mary Evans and Jeff Hinshaw for three Saturday mornings of astrology, oracle cards, witchy arts & craft, and hands-on creative ritual.
We’re so excited to invite you to Deep Winter Magic, a three-class online series where we’ll make things with our hands and bring a little craft into the everyday. We’ll gather on three Saturday mornings, one each in Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Aquarius season. Saturdays are Saturn’s day, which is good for taking our time and giving our intentions a form we can hold.
Jeff Hinshaw will open each gathering with the astrology of the moment, focusing on what the Sun and Moon bring to the craft, as well as any other notable transits. Then, Mary Evans will pull an oracle card live for the group to help us tune into the deeper work we’re doing together. From there, we’ll get crafting.
Saturday, December 19, 2026 · Snow Globe Spell Bottle
For our first gathering, Mary will guide us through making a snow globe spell jar to honor a memory we want to keep close. We’ll gather just a few days before the Cancer Full Moon, a fitting time to honor the memories we carry. We’ll take a moment to look back on 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, through the lens of the Magician and the Wheel of Fortune cards. What did you bring into being this year? What took an unexpected turn? What’s one moment you’d love to step back into, even for a second?
Your memory can come from 2026 or any time in your life. Maybe it’s a place you visited, someone you miss, a labyrinth you walked, or an ordinary day you still think about. We’ll choose small objects that bring that memory to life and build a little world for it inside a snow globe, something you can shake up whenever you want to spend a moment there again.
Saturday, January 9, 2027 · Threshold Brooms
Gathering just a few days after the Capricorn New Moon, a great time for setting new intentions. Together we’ll make an earthy and personal item to honor the place we call home and the thresholds we cross each day. Inspired by Jeff’s exploration of their Celtic ancestral roots, we’ll decorate small brooms with natural materials chosen with intention, weaving together elements that hold personal meaning and symbolism.
Traditionally, brooms have been associated with clearing, protection, and welcoming new energy into the home. As we create, we’ll reflect on what we want to sweep away from 2026 and invite into our lives in 2027, and how we might bring a little more intention to the spaces we inhabit.
Once finished, our threshold brooms can be hung by the front door, on rearview mirrors, or another meaningful threshold, serving as a handmade reminder of the energy we wish to cultivate.
Saturday, January 23, 2027 · Pocket Altars & Trinket Portals
With the Sun in Aquarius and the Moon still in Leo just after the Full Moon, we’ll turn our phone cases into little altars we can carry with us. Using a technique borrowed from food prop styling, we’ll pipe faux icing onto the cases and nestle tiny objects into them, each chosen for what it means to us. We’ll reflect on the everyday trinkets we keep close, the symbols that remind us of who we are, and the small ways we can bring a little more magic and meaning into our daily routines. It feels very Aquarius to transform a piece of technology we reach for every day into something personal, creative, and entirely our own. By the end, we’ll each have a pocket-sized altar that travels with us wherever we go, offering a little reminder of what we want to keep close as we go out into the world.
All three classes begin at 9:30 a.m. Pacific / 10:30 a.m. Mountain / 11:30 a.m. Central / 12:30 p.m. Eastern. The series includes a package of craft supplies mailed to you, plus recordings and transcripts of all three gatherings so you can revisit the classes or make along on your own time.
We envision this as an intergenerational offering for ages 9–99. Whether you’re joining for yourself, crafting alongside your child, inviting an elder, or reconnecting with your own inner child, there’s a place for everyone in this creative gathering.
*Participants under 16 should have parental guidance and support throughout the crafting activities.
