The Veil is the barrier between this world and other non-physical planes- worlds of spirits, magical beasts, alternate realities.
The past year has brought on extremely negative, surreal, chaotic, and otherworldly experiences for many people. Many practitioners of the magic community attribute the events of the recent past to the 'thinning' or total collapsing of the Veil.The Goo-Witch seeks to provide a platform of communal power and unified identity through creating small spells via 'cord magic’.Cord magic is a very old form of magic that is often overlooked. In traditional cord magic, Cords are braided together while concentrating on a desired end. The Goo-Witch will continuously spin cord throughout the evening while focusing her intent on positive and radical change, inclusion, and feminine power. Viewers will be encouraged to add to the community cord that the Goo-Witch spins by choosing materials from the space that represent their own magical intent for the year to come and adding it into the spun wool.The spinning of the magical cord will be a continuous performance throughout the year- collecting as much positive and powerful energy from others to begin to patch the Veil and protect those who have felt the effects of it's thinning.Magical elements to add into the wool: Cascarilla: spiritual projection and shielding, invocation
