Within many societies, witchcraft and spells have long been associated with all varieties of animals.

Get up close and personal with some of the animals that have featured in the most popular superstitions and omens – these fantastic creatures will be available in the Library for you to handle!

From frogs, beetles and owls these creatures have been said to have a range of magical properties; their ability to help predict the weather, the healing of sickness, and the attraction of good luck.

No need to book, just drop in! Animals provided by Animal Magic Parties.
