On the next new moon, join Little Witch and her coven beneath the Elder.
It’s time to tell the bees.
Alongside Persephone and the Fairies, join Little Witch for high tea with the hive! As you and the bees sip honeyed potions, Madam Spider spins riddles and Little Witch describes a curious dream – one about a moonstruck hare, moving at your own pace, and the origin of fairy tales.
What does it mean to ‘tell the bees?’
Many moons ago, magick was part of everyday life. Bees brewed honey and pollinated flowers, but they also worked as household psychopomps, fuzzy messengers that carried our stories between worlds.
Back then, bees were not mere insects but divine couriers, and upon reaching important milestones, families toasted their good fortune with the hive. The buzzing might go on for days (the bees loved any excuse for a party), but once the hoopla died down, a team of pollinators would set out for lands unseen and deliver meaningful news to spirits long gone.
Today, the ritual of telling the bees appears in animistic and magickal communities, and according to Little Witch, a happy hive is a fruitful spell, sweetening the boundaries of heart and home.

This harvest season, join Little Witch, the fairies, and Madam Spider as they host their first Dumb Supper! If you’ve never heard of a Dumb Supper (a Celtic ritual to appease the spirits), Little Witch will show you the ropes. Together, you’ll gather seasonal flowers, bake soul cakes, and host a magical meal in honor of Great-Grandma Rose.
What is a ‘Dumb Supper?’
In parts of England, Ireland, and Scotland, families hosted Dumb Suppers to honor friendly spirits. These silent suppers were popular during harvest season and a simple way to honor ancestral ghosts. Since speaking, whispering, or making noise of any kind was forbidden while seated at the table, the living relied on tarot cards, psychic abilities, and a bit of magick to communicate in silence.

The daughters of Hecate are stargazers and sibyls. They are curious ghosts, consuming the night until their eyes sparkle and their words become moon-shaped. Hecate’s language is ancient, lunar and serpentine, yet her children are fluent in these mysteries. They weave Hecate’s hymns into their dreams, rituals, and creative quests, crafting a living altar for the Mother of Witches.
Upon Hecate’s altar, we place the voces magicae…
Starting on October 30th, join Pointy Hat Press co-founders Caitlyn Barone and Kristin Lisenby for a three-week art workshop and ritual in intuitive art-making and creative mediumship. Cloaked in the mysteries of the Samhain season, participants will gather around the virtual candle for a collective psychic experiment, using art as a doorway into the creative unconscious and crafting art altars for Hecate, the Mother of Witches.
This workshop explores mythical and occult symbolism, mediumistic art-making methods, and triplicity in magick and artistic composition. Over three weeks, our coven will create mixed-media triptychs (tri-formed altar pieces) informed by the Hecatean language shaping our personal lives and our collective experience together.
This series invites artists of all levels to divine with their unconscious material through collective and spontaneous art-making methods. No experience is needed, just a blank page, a curious heart, and a desire to venture beyond the physical veil.
