  This is the time of year to celebrate the new honor the past and remember those that have passed. This is the Witches New Year. It is the beginning and the end to the wheel of the year. The word Samhain comes from Celtic tradition for this time of the year, but there are as many names as there are faiths and histories. Ossa Dei Morti, is Italian for Bones of the Dead or, Dia de los Muertos, the Spanish Day of the Dead. There are hundreds of celebrations among Pagans for honoring of the dead and the recognition of this night when the veil between the worlds is thinnest and we have the opportunity to commune with those which have gone before.
  We will have an opening blessing, and an ancestors altar where you can bring photo's of love ones, ashes, we honor all are departed love ones, scales, shells, fur, and feather. We will have people from all walks of life attending the Witches Ball, from all faiths & practices, even those who are agnostic & atheist. This a safe and inclusive event, LGBTQIA+ welcomed. This an open event. We will have a full blown ritual at Midnight, if you do not feel like joining the circle that is fine, nobody is required to take part in the ritual.
