A Walk of Remembrance Between the Worlds

SAT NIGHT OCT 31, 2026
4:45-10pm
Presented by Priestesses:
Sea Crow, Lea, Tess, Mandella, Aquaria,

1) OUR THEME: "Through the Veils and Back Again"
This Samhain, in an eclectic nod to Dia de los Muertos and other multicultural traditions, join us as we journey “Through the Veils and Back Again” to remember our ancestors and beloveds on the other side.
-
On this journey we will learn how different cultures around the world honor and celebrate their ancestors and which Goddesses come out to play this time of year!
-
We’ll collage small “Ancestor/Spirit” memory boxes for our Beloveds* and charge them with offerings.
-
Then we will venture through the veil in a ceremonial processional past the Pool of Reflection and Fire of Forgiveness, receive the wisdom from multicultural Deities of the day, and enshrine our boxes together upon a community Dia de los Muertos “Offrenda”!
Come, our witchy sisters, and celebrate with us while we walk between the worlds– Reflecting, Remembering, Reuniting and Returning—as we honor our Beloveds Beyond the Veil.
*(All “beloveds” are welcomed to be honored–friends, family, pets, or any spirit mentor you'd like to respect. Bring a photo(s) of your beloved to be collaged onto the 6x4” lid of the box; and any little tokens special to their memory. We will supply other goodies, stickers and items and offerings too.)
Don your best witchy apparel and we’ll see you witches and hags around the bonfire! RSVP SOON! Woohahahaaa!
2) OUR CRAFT: WHAT WE WILL BE DOING:
“Collaging Ancestor/Spirit Memory Boxes”
We will be decorating small 6x4” altar boxes (provided) to honor our loved ones and we'll be offering gifts to them later in the ceremony. You can choose how you decorate it using the supplies provided (paper, embellishments, stickers, etc), and/or bring any special tokens/photos as well. Plan for photos etc to fit within 6"x4" rectangle, 2"deep (either horizontal or vertical orientation.)
3) REGARDING FOOD: Evening TREATS will be provided by the Goddess Studio! (So eat an early dinner before ya come!) No Potluck this time!
4) THINGS TO EXPECT: sharing lore, meditation, crafting, ceremony, sisterhood, fire circle and cavorting with witches!
5) WEAR: Come in your Witchy costume, or in whatever guise you desire to be! Bring a jacket as we will be outside most of the night!
6) TIME: 4:45 - 10:00 pm. Please arrive by 4:30 to give yourself enough time to settle in and take pictures! Circle will start at 5:00. This is a progressive event, please be on time. Also, Gate closes at 5:30, see (9) below.

8) PLEASE RSVP:
IMPORTANT: PLEASE RSVP "Yes" if you can commit to coming! An RSVP is a must to reserve your space, and most importantly to secure your craft materials, and to receive the final "Delightful Details and Directions" email which will be sent to you a few days before the event. PLEASE rsvp on the MeetUp site OR email Amalya! Thank you! (AmalyaGoddess@aol.com)
Your RSVP is taken very seriously. These events mean alot to us and we devote significant time, energy and money to producing these high quality and meaningful gatherings eight times a year. Unfortunately, due to the rising number of people who RSVP "yes" and then don't show, we have been overbuying supplies and not able to cover our costs. "No shows" are very hard on us, not only financially, but emotionally and energetically as well. If you cannot come after you have rsvp'd "yes", then please simply change your rsvp to "NO" as soon as possible. Also, if you are bringing a guest, please let us know their names too! Thank you for honoring your commitment with integrity, your Goddess Mamas really appreciate it.
