Annual Witches Dance!
The Pagan holiday of Samhain is one of the most important of the year. It is the time when the Goddess enters into her Calleach stage as the God becomes The Lord of the Hunt in the Underworld. It is a time of veils thinning between this and the Otherworld. It is a time to work with the ancestors. Since 2016, I have been hosting a Halloween Witches Dance where we dress up in our witchiest finery and dance under the full moon together. This event is often done by the water, where we are able to send out prayers to the Earth for her healing.
For so long, women have been persecuted for their wisdom, learning, and healing. The women burned as witches during the Grand Inquisition has left a terrible scar on the psyches of women. In reclaiming this archetype, we dance for those grandmothers lost, we dance for what was stifled deep inside of us, and we welcome the gifts of our own magic back into our body temples.
