The Middle Ages is the crucible, where the idea about what is magic (and what isn't) is formed. The idea of harmful magic users goes far beyond the medieval world, far beyond Christianity even, but people who obtain power from malevolent forces is a major concern of the church. But how would you know a witch if you saw one? More importantly, how do you shield yourself from their wicked magic? In this class learn what makes a witch and what magic is before learning to write your own talisman.

In the Middle Ages, the unseen is just as real as the world you can see and touch. In a world inhabited by elves who cause you to lose your mind, unicorns that will kill anyone except a young maiden, strange creatures with no heads how do you protect yourself? In this class you learn about some of the many mystical beasts from the Middle Ages before making your own protective amulet to keep mischievous elves at bay.

If you fall ill in the Middle Ages there might be a simple cure, but what if malevolent forces are what is causing your dis-ease? In the Medieval world, magic and medicine are almost inseparable, meaning that those administering it need to make sure that they don't fall foul of the church! In this class discover strange cures and make your own potion to take home with you.
