Grave earth. Human hair. Ashes. Mourning jewellery. Photographs of the dead. The things we leave behind rarely stop meaning something simply because we have died.\n\n**In this intimate, practical Death Witchcraft workshop, Toni invites you to encounter the material dead: the remains, possessions and fragments through which relationships with the dead are remembered, maintained and sometimes transformed.**\n\nWorking with objects from Toni’s own collection and practice, we will explore the magick and folklore surrounding bones and grave dirt, the strange intimacy of hair and ashes, memento mori and mourning jewellery, photographs as objects of connection, and the personal belongings that pass from the hands of the dead into those of the living.\n\nWhat makes an ordinary object become a relic? \n\nCan an object carry something of the person who once owned it? \n\nWhat does it mean to possess part of the dead? \n\nAnd where are the boundaries when we choose to work with what remains?\n\nWe will also venture into the ethics of material death work: taking from graveyards, collecting bones, handling remains, inherited objects, consent, reciprocity and our responsibilities towards both the dead and the places that hold them.\n\n**Create your own small reliquary, choosing and assembling materials with intention to form a vessel for memory, ancestral practice or your own relationship with death.**\n\n You can read [our ticket terms and conditions](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZSdrUX0V00eRRVd_brA3aKdIZYJ0307f5qk2icIuSdE/edit?tab=t.0) here. \n\n### **MEET YOUR GUIDE**\n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2026/09/22/13/34/23/78b82094-b611-40d2-bd22-87144d79a6f9/a8bab41b-ebeb-407e-af92-429309d5bf91.jpeg)\n\n \n\n### **TONI COE-BROOKER**\n\nToni is a death witch, sound ceremonialist, ancestral tarot reader and co-host of the Embracing Magick podcast. Her practice explores our relationships with death, ancestry, spirit and the material traces left behind by those who came before us.\n\nHer work encompasses graveyard magick, ancestral practice, spirit communication, death and mourning rituals, genealogy, bones, objects of memory, dreamwork and ecological death. \n\nThrough workshops and ceremony, Toni approaches death work as a way of deepening our relationship with both the dead and the living, while exploring the ethics, boundaries and responsibilities of working at that threshold.\n\n**Come explore what the dead leave behind—and discover how the things that remain can become vessels for memory, magick, and connection.**\n\n[**@waxandkohl**](https://www.instagram.com/waxandkohl/reels/)\n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2026/09/22/18/31/51/1d6a9fa4-bfed-4d71-9831-7533906b9109/96eb8ec6-48f8-4644-b1af-6b15f5864a08.jpeg)\n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2026/09/22/18/32/28/67c25807-5fab-4e99-a5e2-386681012332/01370760-baee-458e-b672-5dbb1a86dd32.jpeg)\n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2026/09/22/18/32/42/f04a59e3-2c9e-4d44-b92b-030807f5e2af/7f804c85-2e7e-480f-93b0-f23610dd6a1b.jpeg)",
