New Moon Circle
Join HereFriday, September 11 | 6–8 PM
A new moon. A new home. A new chapter waiting to be written. 🌑
Join us for our September New Moon Circle and our very first moon circle in the new Lumos Collective space.
The New Moon invites us into the quiet space of beginnings. It is a time to turn inward, listen closely, plant intentions, and decide what we are ready to begin creating as the next lunar cycle unfolds.
Together, we’ll slow down and step intentionally into this new cycle through reflection, ritual, tarot, spellwork, and community.
During our circle, we’ll explore the energy surrounding this New Moon, consider what it may be asking us to begin or nurture, and create space for intentions that feel rooted in where we actually are, rather than where we think we should be.
✨ Learn about the energy of the current New Moon
✨ Reflect with guided journal prompts
✨ Work with tarot or oracle
✨ Participate in intentional spellwork or ritual
✨ Set intentions for the lunar cycle ahead
✨ Connect with magical communityFriday, September 11
6:00–8:00 PM
📍 Lumos Collective | Old Town Alexandria
🎟️ $33 per personNo previous experience with lunar magic, tarot, or spellwork is necessary. Bring yourself, your curiosity, and a journal if you have one.
There feels like no better way to hold our first circle in our new home than beneath the energy of a beginning.
Come make a little New Moon magic with us. 🌑

FREE Book + Tarot Swap
Sunday, September 13 | 12–5 PM
Your shelves are overflowing. You have a tarot deck you haven’t touched in two years. That witchcraft book deserves someone who will actually read it.
Bring it to the swap. 😂
Join us at Lumos Collective for our Book + Tarot Swap, a cozy community day dedicated to giving your gently loved magical goodies a new home.
Bring along books, tarot decks, oracle decks, and other magical reading materials you’re ready to part with, then browse what everyone else has brought and take home something new-to-you.
You can bring things like:
✨ Witchcraft, magic, folklore, mythology, spirituality, astrology, tarot, and occult books
✨ Tarot decks
✨ Oracle decks
✨ Spiritual or magical reference books
✨ Other relevant gently used books and materialsEverything should be in good, usable condition and something you’d genuinely feel good about passing along to another person.
No money changes hands. This is a true community swap. Bring what you’re ready to release, find something that calls to you, and maybe meet a few magical humans while you’re here.
📚 Sunday, September 13
⏰ 12:00–5:00 PM
📍 Lumos Collective | Old Town Alexandria
🎟️ Free to attendYou do not need to bring something in order to participate. If you’re brand-new to tarot or witchcraft and don’t have anything to swap yet, you’re still welcome to come browse and join us.
Because sometimes the book collecting dust on your shelf is exactly the book someone else has been looking for.

Tea & Tarot Talk
Join Us HereFriday, September 25 | 6–8 PM
Pour a cup, pull a card, and come talk tarot with us. 🫖
Tea + Tarot is our monthly gathering for people who want to deepen their relationship with the cards without sitting through a stuffy lecture or feeling like they need to memorize an entire guidebook.
Each month, we gather around the table with tea, tarot decks, and plenty of conversation to explore a different piece of the tarot together.
We’ll learn, pull cards, practice reading, ask questions, compare interpretations, and actually use the cards as we go.
Whether you’re brand-new to tarot, have been reading for years, or fall somewhere in the wonderfully messy middle, you’re welcome at the table.
✨ Explore our monthly tarot focus
✨ Practice reading cards in a supportive environment
✨ Strengthen your intuitive reading skills
✨ Ask questions and learn from one another
✨ Drink tea and talk entirely too much about tarot
✨ Meet other tarot-loving humans🫖 Friday, September 25
⏰ 6:00–8:00 PM
📍 Lumos Collective | Old Town Alexandria🔮 A Note About Registration
Tea + Tarot is now part of The Reading Room, our tarot membership and ongoing learning community.
Reading Room members receive first access to Tea + Tarot spots each month. Once member registration has closed, any remaining seats will be opened to the general public.
That means public spots may be limited, so if you’ve been wanting to join us, grab yours when they become available!
Bring your favorite tarot deck if you have one. If you don’t, we’ll have decks available to work with.
Come for the cards. Stay for the tea, conversation, and inevitable “OH MY GOD, THAT CARD” moments. 🔮

Full Moon Circle
Join HereSaturday, September 26 | 3–5 PM
Come gather beneath the Full Moon. 🌕
Our monthly Full Moon Circle is a space to step away from the noise of everyday life, reconnect with yourself, and make a little magic in community.
The Full Moon illuminates. It asks us to notice what has grown, what has changed, what is asking to be celebrated, and what we may finally be ready to release.
Together, we’ll explore the energy of the current Full Moon and work with it through ritual, reflection, tarot, spellwork, and community practice.
No two Full Moon Circles are exactly the same. Our practices shift alongside the astrology and energy of each lunation, giving us an opportunity to continually explore different forms of magical practice.
During our time together, you can expect:
✨ A discussion of the current Full Moon and its themes
✨ Guided reflection and journal prompts
✨ Tarot or oracle work
✨ Spellwork or ritual connected to the lunation
✨ Space for release, intention, and integration
✨ Time to connect with magical community🌕 Saturday, September 26
⏰ 3:00–5:00 PM
📍 Lumos Collective | Old Town Alexandria
🎟️ $33 per personYou do not need any previous experience with witchcraft, lunar magic, tarot, or ritual to join us. Come exactly as you are.
Bring a journal and your favorite tarot or oracle deck if you have one. We’ll take care of the rest.
Come sit in circle, make some magic, and see what the Full Moon is illuminating for you. 🌕
