Shadows of the Past: Worldwide Witch Executions and Memorial Ritual
Join High Priestess, Reverend Karyn Williams on March 1st for a powerful and thought-provoking workshop as we honor the memory of those accused, tortured, and executed during witch trials across the world. Timed to coincide with the Salem Witch Trials Memorial, this event will explore the dark history of witch hunts and the strange, often cruel methods used against those accused of practicing witchcraft.
Together, we will delve into stories from Salem, Europe, and beyond, shining a light on the fear, ignorance, and oppression that shaped these tragic events. Through discussion, we’ll honor the resilience of those who suffered and reflect on the lessons these histories offer us today.
To conclude, we will hold a ritual and memorial circle to pay tribute to their spirits, heal collective wounds, and reaffirm our commitment to a world where spiritual freedom is cherished.
Event Highlights:
**Memorial Candle Lighting: Each attendee will have the opportunity to light a personal memorial candle before our ritual prayer. This candle is yours to take home, allowing you to continue the remembrance and reflection in your own space.
**Book Raffle: All participants will be entered into a complimentary raffle for the chance to win a copy of "Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials" by Marion Gibson. This thought-provoking book offers a global perspective on witch trials, exploring thirteen distinct cases across history.
**Proceeds with Purpose: We are proud to share that all proceeds from our "Shadows of the Past: Worldwide Witch Executions and Memorial Ritual" workshop will support our "Paws for Cause" fundraising efforts. By participating in this event, you'll not only engage in a meaningful exploration of history but also contribute to our mission of rescuing and rehabilitating local animals in need. Your involvement helps provide essential care, medical treatment, and loving homes for these deserving creatures.
