Healing List
An important element of the work of Witchcraft is healing. As a service to our community the Animal Ministry maintains a healing list of animals. The list is made up every new moon and the previous list will be replaced on the new moon of each month.
If you want to place your pet, a farm or a wild animal onto the healing list please email [email protected] with the animal’s name, species, age, and a picture (if you so choose). Healing lists will be renewed each month, please make your submissions by the full moon of the prior month.
