The witch is a deeply important and appealing figure, and her story is more relevant than ever. Witches weren’t evil, and they certainly didn’t wear pointy black hats. Instead, society has long used the idea of the witch as a dumping ground for everything it fears or hates in women. Witches are old—too old to be sexy, too old to bear children—and even today, we stigmatise older women as “problematic” or “ugly”. Exploring the true history of witches reveals much about ourselves, how we got here, and how we can change. But who hunted witches? Surprisingly, it wasn’t mostly men. It was often younger women, pressured by patriarchal systems to blame older women in exchange for temporary favour—favour that disappeared as they aged. This history still echoes today, as generational divides between women persist and even worsen. Learning about witches reminds us of the importance of solidarity between generations—why we must stand together to break free from these old patterns. Doors open at 7 pm , talk starts at 7:30 pm - come down early to grab a good seat! Follow us on IG @seedtalks Diane Purkiss is Professor of English at the University of Oxford, and a fellow of Keble College. She has published on witchcraft, fairies, and also on the English Civil War, the occasion of England's biggest witchhunt. She has been in more than a dozen television documentaries; she even has an IMdb entry and a Wikipedia page… She has spoken to general audiences at numerous literary festivals and to many local history societies.

A one-day course giving participants; confidence in identifying key grasses when not in flower a good feel for grass groups of neutral and unimproved calcareous grassland and their use as indicator species a chance to learn memorable features, allowing grasses in any condition to be identified to species level Nearly every species of grass and most sedges have at least one key feature, which can be used to pinpoint them to genus and species level. This course aims to teach people to spot and memorise these characters for the majority of common species and some of the more specialised species found on unimproved grasslands. This training day will give participants the confidence to identify a wide range of grasses at a time of year when many of them are not flowering. Throughout the day several species will be repeatedly examined and candidates tested on these, leaving them able to confidently identify 20 species. The workshop will be carried out on 3 different grassland types, and also focus on using indicator grasses to assess habitat type and quality. About the tutor Dominic Price is a highly regarded botanical tutor and has been running courses for all levels of ecologists since 2007. He is director of The Species Recovery Trust and specialises in the conservation of endangered species.

Any problems on the day please call Dominic Price on 07968 786390. Please inform us of any relevant medical requirements/conditions we should be aware of prior to the course. Lifts available from/back to Salisbury station on request. Adverse weather This is an outdoor run course on an exposed site, and as such we request that participants bring suitable clothing including sunhats, sunblock, and full waterproofs & fleeces. As the climate breaks down, we do occasionally have severe weather where either it is very difficult to take notes due to prolonged heavy rain, or temperatures have reached a point where long exposure can be detrimental to health. In these instances, we will run a condensed version of the course, where we aim to see all the species before lunch but have less time to take notes on them. We will then give attendees free access to the corresponding online course for 24 hours, which means you can take notes and look at the species in more detail in the comfort of your home. We have built a corresponding online catalogue of courses for this purpose, and we therefore feel we can offer the same training experience while looking after attendees' welfare in the field. Therefore if you look at the forecast before the course and start panicking - don’t worry, we’ve got you! Course certificate This course can be used as part of your Continuing Professional Development (CPD). We invite attendees to download their own certificate and complete the numbers of hours spent on the course, as we are aware some attendees spend more time reading up about courses before the day, and writing their notes up and sitting the online course tests afterwards. The hours on your certificate should accurately reflect this time. Feedback from previous courses ‘I really enjoyed the course and found it much more useful than courses I have attended recently’ ‘Just wanted to say thank you for such an enjoyable and interesting day. Dominic is always such an excellent and relaxed tutor, who can even make learning grasses so enjoyable.’ ‘Dominic is a brilliant teacher, it's the quirks one remembers well, not keys.’ 'Relaxed atmosphere, so it didn't feel as though you were under pressure to get things right ' Information Source: The Species Recovery Trust | eventbrite

Read more here --- More about FRESH Thursdays... FRESH happens every Thursday during our open seasons. It is a platform to bring you fresh new music served up alongside a homecooked plant based meal, board games and candles. It can be hard to get people out to hear music that they don’t know yet & this is why we decided to offer dinner as an incentive to try something new, these gigs are cosy, communal nights and often you get to hear completely new music for the very first time. The music varies across multiple genres but it is usually fairly gentle listening type music & well suited to a relaxed Thursday night. The gigs are seated and during the sets the audience is very music focused & quiet with time to chat in between the sets and at the end when we keep the bar open. We cook the food from scratch usually and dinner is well suited to lover of vegetables and wholesome cooking, it's usually something like a dhal, veggie chilli, tacos, roast veg or similar, our base line is vegan sometimes with veggie options. We can cater for nut/gluten free meals, but nuts & gluten are used in the kitchen so if you have serious allergies please bear that in mind. Doors at 7pm, we aim to get dinner ready by 8pm and will bring it to you when its ready… music usually starts around 8pm, sometimes later if it’s a busy night for food (we are a tiny team) and we aim to have the music finished by 10-10.15 pm. We can only guarantee dinner with advance tickets and these days we cap dinner at 60 meals and the food tickets do often sell out. We hope/think it's obvious that quality music and dinner for £10 is all about culture & community and that these events cost us money… If you can afford to purchase a higher level ‘Cobalt supporters‘ ticket we appreciate the additional help towards costs very much.

Bundle together a range of natural materials to make a mini "Witches broom" or a hand brush, bound with colourful threads and ribbon, and personalised with charms and herbs. Beltane is the "May Day" festival, marking the start of Summer, traditionally celebrated midway between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. Some customs associated with Beltane, such as holding bonfires and making a "May Bush," are beautiful ways to connect at this time of year. Lynette will lead us in a short welcoming and cleansing ritual to create a safe space and help us to set our intentions. She will talk a little about Beltane, and about the use of brooms to set the scene. Lynette will guide us in setting intentions and share information about colours and symbols of the festival. Tamsin will support all creative aspects of the workshop and make sure that we all have everything we need for a companionable evening of crafting. We will bundle together natural Coir, a sustainable fibre used in brush making for centuries. We will chose from a bouquet of herbs and other plant material, coloured threads, charms and ribbons to personalise our brushes and brooms. Refreshments, materials and eventbrite fees are included in the ticket price.

Beltane is the May Day Festival and is synonymous with dancing around the May Pole and marks the beginning of Summer . It is one of the eight sabbats of the Wheel of the Year , which takes place at the beginning of May. This festival is named after the Celtic Sun God , Belinos (or Belenus). The name Beltane means ' fire of Bel '. It is often associated with fertility, new growth, and longer, warmer days . Fire is the center of most Beltane celebrations . People would dance around the fire for purification and fertility blessings . Couples would sometimes jump through a fire together to pledge themselves to each other. Traditionally, only the bonfire lit in honour of Bel would burn. After the celebration, members of the community would take a piece from the hearth fire and light the fire in their own homes . The May Pole is indicative of old English village celebrations . It is adorned with a ring of flowers on the top which represents the fertility Goddess.
