Spell Bottle Workshop
Downtown Shops Activity Room 53 Main Street, Toms River, NJ, United StatesJoin Trinity for a night of meditation and creation! Detox, set your intention, and create your own spell bottle necklace! Spell bottles are spiritual tools that can help identify and pursue their innermost desires. They are based on old folk magick dating back to the 17th century - typically to ward off evil spirits - but now they hold a much broader appeal, and we have created ways to use them for just about any intention. Trinity is a modern day mystic, meditation & spiritual life coach, and interfaith minister. She specializes in astrology, aromatherapy, meditation, and spirit communication.
