Witch Cakes & Poppets: The Folk Magic of Salem

In 1692, the Village of Salem feared witchcraft to the point of persecution and execution of their friends and neighbors. They believed that magic was only possible through the help of demons, and yet many members of the community still engaged with folk magic in their daily lives.

In this class, we will learn all about the folk magic that occurred in Salem during this era, including witch cakes, poppets, oomancy, and more. We'll explore the origins of these traditions, investigate how they came into play during the Salem Witch Trials, and practice a 17th-century form of divination together. Expect to hear a few connections between Maine and these infamous trials along the way.

Tickets are $30, $35, or $40—choose an option that is appropriate and works best for you.

With complementary light refreshments including beer and wine; come at 6:30 to socialize; lecture begins at 7:00 pm.

This free lecture is open to the public, and will be held in-person and on Zoom. Preregistration is required.

About Maya

Maya Rook, creator of Firefly Studio, has offered monthly Full Moon Gatherings in Midcoast Maine since the spring of 2022. She loves creating space for community to come together on these potent moments in the lunar cycle to explore the current energy arising. These sessions are informed by her experiences as a yoga and meditation instructor, practitioner of natural magic and Buddhism, and work as a cultural historian. Participants have described Maya’s approach to Full Moon Gatherings as welcoming, magical, creative, interdisciplinary, and grounding. After attending a gathering, you will walk away with a deeper connection to yourself and others, as well as fresh perspectives of how you view the world around you.
