What to expect
Join us at our first official meeting of the year, where we will go over some basics, do some arts and crafts, and get to know one another! This is a taster session, so we hope we can give you something to take home, as well as talk about what you want to see from the society this year.
The team will do their best to introduce you to the immense world of paganism and witchcraft with a short Powerpoint, pausing for lots of room for discussion and questions. You are welcome to our refreshments (Tea!!) and to have a look at some of our witchy items, as well show and tell if you have brought your own along.
By the end of the night, you will have created your very own flint talisman, which you will be able to draw symbols or runes upon, and then fashion into a necklace or keychain. If you are allergic to nail polish, we may be able to provide some Posca acrylic paint pens instead, so send us a DM if this affects you (we have the gel ones from primark) :>
Check out our page on SUBU, where you will find what the average year looks like with PAWS. Then, head over to the instagram @bu_aub_paws, and shoot us a DM to be added to the 2026/7 gc once you have a membership!
Attached are some helpful videos and documents that might inspire you for our talisman craft session.
We're looking forward to meeting you!

P.S.
If you are an AUB student and are struggling to purchase a ticket, you are more than welcome to come along. DM us first so we can keep an eye on numbers!
