It's that time of the year when things get tight for many folks, especially this year. Our Donation page to the Northampton Survival Center is still active, and they would be happy to take your donation on behalf of WMPPD. You could even make it a small recurring donation so you don't have to think about it.
Make a Samhain donation today if you can!

Joining us this year, on September 27 (10-6) are the Southern New England Witch Dancers Troupe.
We hope to see you there!

The Southern New England Witch Dancers Troupe was founded in August, 2022, by artistic director Bernie Courtney. They began as a “chapter” of the Wolfshager Hexenbruts of Germany, teaching and performing the original choreography of the now globally recognized “Witches Dance.” This troupe currently has more than a dozen dances in their repertory, and they were the first Witch Dance group in New England to reconstruct the Hexenbruts choreography for Atemlos as well as “Diese kalte Nacht,” by Faun. The SNE Witch Dancers have performed at TempleFest, CWPN’s Harvest Gathering, RIPP, and they will be bringing some of their unique Pagan dances to WMPPD.
