Doors open at 6:00 pm; Ritual starts at 6:30 pm
Ritual Intention: Traveling the witches’ road with our ancestors and descendants, we find our way to each other.
Ritual Description: Together we will travel the witches’ road and visit several places along the journey: the crossroads in the wilderness, the starry sky above, the world below, the home of the ancestors, and the place of the descendants. Returning together at the end of the journey, we will gather with the messages sent and received and raise energy to bless and strengthen ourselves and our community.
About Baltimore Reclaiming:
Baltimore Reclaiming is a radically inclusive community of witches who use our magic to bring transformation, justice and healing to ourselves, Baltimore and the world. We are also artists, pagans, healers, activists, priestesses, anarchists, theater geeks, feminists, and other good humans. We see our work as teaching and making magic: the art of empowering ourselves and each other. In our classes, workshops, and public rituals, we train our voices, bodies, energy, intuition, and minds. We use the skills we learn to deepen our strength, both as individuals and as community, to voice our concerns about the world in which we live, and bring to birth a vision of a new culture. We gather, mostly on the Sabbats, to work magic, often for personal healing and also for the healing of our society and planet. We believe that the work we do together in our sacred circles really can change the world.
What is Samhain?
Samhain is celebrated by modern Witches as a festival of the Dead. At this time of year we honor, celebrate, and communicate with our ancestors. It is a celebration of the end of the harvest, and the start of the coldest half of the year. Samhain's origins are in ancient Europe as one of the main Celtic seasonal festivals.
