ANNOUNCING SAMHAIN 19
This year’s family-friendly free Witch rite will be held on Halloween proper, Thursday October 31st from 7 to 10 pm. By popular demand, we're returning to French Broad River Park in West Asheville.
Theme: Witches Gone Wilde! will welcome roaming folk dressed as Elementals, Deities, fairies, and creature-types.
Honor your Ancestors in the flicker of torchlight with Coven Oldenwilde and the Spirits of river and forest! Features include (volunteers needed for each!):
-
Kidz Zone: Revel worry-free as your kids enjoy autumn games, spooky storytelling, and a musical tyke parade!
-
Web-weaving Area: Meet folk of like mind, single-mingle, or speed-date here. (Last year a couple that met here got Handfasted shortly thereafter!)
-
Musicians’ Row: Play along the winding path as folks jump in and out at will, stomp-dancing to your tune!
-
Diviner’s Realm: Fashion a decorative fortune-telling setup, erect it in this area, and give fortune-telling readings like “Pull-pot” (small items in a bowl of sand that querents dig out, the symbol’s message in their life then explained). Only know Tarot? E-mail Lady Passion for an easy, cool method you’ll love!
Ritual circle at 9 pm with traditional Spiral Dance finale!
Wear: Witch garb, costumes, masks, or special effects galore!
Bring: Musical instrument to play.
Got none? Make a homemade rattle: Remove label from empty plastic aspirin bottle. Decorate outside using colorful Sharpie markers. Put pebbles, buttons, or raw rice inside, cap and shake!
Needed: Volunteer helpers, musicians, glow sticks (lots!), tall tiki torches, torch fuel, and enabling donations. (Helping out gets you invited to the Afterparty!)
Reverent participants of any age may attend this free rite -- but please, no pets.
