This class introduces magical body lore to the folk magician looking to  explore new areas of enchantment. We’ll look at the history and folklore  of the human body, including the uses of moles for divination, hair in  magical charms or funerary jewelry, or even the folk traditions  surrounding corpses. We’ll hear stories of witch marks and bleeding  toes, and of the magical destinies connected with birthmarks, cauls, and  more.
 
This is a 60-90 minute, intermediate level lecture.
