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,
-Talasyn

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.

For full details, and to sign up, please visit the Events page.

Enjoy the sunshine, rain, and lengthening evenings,

-Talasyn

Coffee with Witches in March!

March 9, 2026

Coffee with Witches: Saturday, March 22nd @ 11am in SE Portland
Topic: Spirits and Ghostly Visitations

Have you had encounters with spirits or ghosts, either unexpectedly, or through seeking them out? Many of us make this sort of work a part of our witchcraft practice, developing methods along the way that enhance our ability to understand and communicate with these entities.  For others, these encounters might feel terrifying, confusing, or unwelcome.  We’ll gather and share our visitation stories with one another, and share some techniques for building rapport between the realms.  All levels of experience are very welcome.
