Coffee with Witches: Sunday, August 9th @ 11am in SE Portland
TOPIC: Magical Names & Personas

Have you noticed that some witches select a magical name, and cultivate a separate identity when practicing their witchcraft? Why do they do it? There are a multitude of reasons, both practical and highly esoteric. Join us for a deep and lively discussion, and share your insights. If this is new to you, come listen and learn from the ideas shared around the table. Hosted by Talasyn.

Coffee with Witches

June 16, 2026

Sunday, June 28th @ 11am in SE Portland
TOPIC: The Witch’s Familiar

Numerous historical accounts exist that describe witches building a special magical relationship with a familiar spirit. Sometimes the familiar takes the form of an animal, a plant, or a human. We’ll gather and discuss both some lore and actual modern experiences of encountering your familiar, and collaborating with them as magical guides and protectors when travelling between the worlds.
Note that in our discussion we will distinguish between living animal companions and spirits/familiars with whom the magic worker forms a working relationship. Our focus will be primarily on the latter.
This conversation will be co-hosted by Bonnie and Talasyn.

Thanks for stopping by. There will be more Summer 2026 gatherings posted in the coming weeks, so please check back.

With Solstice blessings,

Coffee with Witches: May 2026

May 6, 2026

Sunday, May 17th, 2026 @ 11am in SE Portland
TOPIC: Circles, Covens, & Solitaries

Many witches have strong opinions about group or solitary work, often out of a sense of independence, or a painful experience with a poorly run group. We’ll discuss the many flavors of group and solitary work, and consider the benefits and challenges of these different choices. For those who are curious (or experienced), we’ll share information about the kinds of work that tend to happen in group settings, and how to keep yourself safe and sane if you choose a group option. Finally, we’ll consider the power of having a strong personal practice, whatever your other choices in witchcraft might be.

Enjoy the sunshine, rain, and lengthening evenings,
