WHY DO WE DO WHAT WE DO?
What is a Witches' Ball all about? This community event offers fun and fellowship in a safe space. Not everyone present is a witch, or even pagan. Many loving and supportive souls from all or no faith practices have come together over the years to create something special.
However, a Witches' Ball is the common name of a very particular modern observance. Many pagans, though they frolic in the fun of modern Halloween scares and candy, still hold this time of the year sacred. As worshipers of nature, pagans are very much in tune with the cycles, seasons, and significant points on the wheel of the year.
Now is a time to prepare in practical ways for the dark half of the year with it's upcoming cold and hardships. But more than that, pagans remember and honor their ancestors, as the veil between the worlds of the living and dead grows thinner. It is at this most auspicious and appropriate time pagans receive messages from their beloved dead. One needs only to listen.
CEREMONIES/RITUALS:
Feel free to actively participate, just observe from a distance, or even step away into the next room. We do ask you refrain from filming or photography, and to be respectful throughout the entire ritual.
ANSWERING QUESTIONS
If you are interested in connecting to local groups, or just curious about what you are seeing, please feel free to ask. We always welcome questions. Please introduce yourself to the staff at the door and they will be happy to help you find your answers.
PLEASE NOTE: this is a Pan-Pagan event. Moreover, this is an all inclusive event welcoming folks of any or no religion or spirituality. All loving hearts are welcome regardless of religious/spiritual belief or affiliation.
Blessings to all! We look forward to seeing you there soon!
