Event Description

SAMHAIN Celebration!

OPEN TO ALL :)

October turns to November, thousands of Witches, Wiccans, Druids, and other Pagans across America, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere observe the sacred time of Samhain. Samhain is a festival of the Dead. Meaning "Summer's End" and pronounced saah-win or saa-ween, Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest and the start of the coldest half of the year. For many practitioners, myself included, Samhain also is the beginning of the spiritual new year.

Seasonal Imagery to help decorate. Bring Samhain seasonal symbols and the colors of orange and black. Pumpkins, apples, ghosts, monsters, vampires, leaves, etc.

Feast of the Dead. (Dumb Supper) - Bring a favorite food. A favorite of your beloved dead, if you can.

Ancestors Altar. Bring photographs, heirlooms, and other mementos of deceased family, friends, and companion creatures.

Ancestor Ritual

Divination 

Reflections Ritual. This is a time to reflect on you and your life over the past year.

Singing and Dancing. 

Spooky Arts and Crafts 

Chocolate!!!

Wear a mask and your finest witcheries, and Halloween Candy, of course!

The Order of the Black Hat is an international eclectic order of witches celebrating the wheel of the year. All members are eligible to participate in face to face meetings. Female members will be able to join us in week-end gatherings and retreats.

We take our spiritual path very seriously, yet strive not to take our egos too seriously. We consider that each of us has a responsibility to grow in the wisdom, love and power of the God/dess, and continually learn, heal, and become stronger. We also have a responsibility to share our skills and insights with others, and to serve within our community and beyond it.

Your path does not matter....if you are a witch and you've been known to wear a "black hat" you are welcome to join us!

1. Feel free to arrange and decorate the space before your event, and make sure before you go to leave it as you found it.

Hope you get my reservation this time.  Changed my S&S password and sent it directly, now.  Hope more folks show up.  Would love to spend the night if there's still room.  Until then... Leslie
