CELEBRATE SAMHAIN
As windows and front lawns all over town are bedecked with images of ghosts, graves, pumpkins, and scarecrows; as leaves tinged with frost now are strewn across paths; as young trick-or-treaters excitedly plan their spooky disguises, Earth-honoring people in New Hampshire and beyond look forward to celebrating the season of harvest in a special way. For the fourth year this October, the quaint town of Peterborough, New Hampshire, becomes the gathering point for Witches, Pagans, and curious folk from across New England and beyond to rekindle the "Old Ways" and celebrate the holiday of Samhain in a festive manner.
Celebrate Samhain is an all-ages, celebration of the Final Harvest and ancestors past – filled with magic, music, crafts, and merriment. This year’s event will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Peterborough, NH on October 24th from 10am-6pm.
Open to the public, attendees can enjoy the entrancing music of a gypsy troupe; browse the wares of mystical vendors; learn something new in a variety of free workshops; make and take home magical crafts; enlist a reading by a gifted intuitive; feast on delectable harvest-tide fare and beverages to warm the body and spirit; and observe the Celtic holiday of Samhain in a traditional, Earth-centered ceremony that honors those who have gone on before.
Last year Celebrate Samhain drew attendees from every state in New England, New York, New Jersey, and from as far off as Maryland. The event raised several hundred dollars for the New Hampshire chapter of SpiralScouts, a co-ed, Earth-centered non-profit youth scouting organization as well as donations for the local food bank and Unitarian Universalist Church’s clothing drive.
Confirmed speakers and presenters include New Hampshire’s own celebrated Witch and award-winning author, Christopher Penczak; featured musical recording artists, The Gypsy Nomads from New Paltz, NY; author, spiritual coach, intuitive and healer, Dr. Kevin Ross Emery from Portland, ME; recording artist and WitchTalk radio host, Karagan from Salem, MA; Spiritual medium and author, Jimahl di Fiosa from Salem, MA; and noted Kitchen Witch and owner of Cucina Aurora, Dawn Hunt from Long
Island, NY.
Vendors from near and far will offer handcrafts, books, jewelry, clothing, ritual items, artwork, herbal and body care products, intuitive readings, Reiki services, and all feather of unique and special gifts. A Children’s Craft Room will keep little hands busy with supervised instruction creating "Day of the Dead" sugar skulls, bean runes, and feather masks. A raffle will feature unique and handmade gifts, autographed books, services, gift certificates, and more.
Celebrate Samhain culminates with a traditional Wiccan Samhain ceremony to honor those who have passed on before us. Led by High Priestess, Lady Lyrion Ap Tower and High Priest, Lord Raven Ap Tower, of the Granite Tower in Wilton, New Hampshire – everyone, regardless of spiritual path, is invited to partake in this especially moving ritual.
Admission to the all-day event is $2 per person (children under 10 free) with a requested donation of either a nonperishable food item or an item of new winter clothing (mittens, hats, scarves, socks, etc.) to be donated to the Peterborough Town Hall Food Bank and the Peterborough UU Church’s Mitten Tree project, respectively. Admission sans donation is $4.
Celebrate Samhain is an indoor event and will be held rain or shine. The Peterborough UU Church is a handicapped-accessible venue (ramps and elevators are available) and is a Welcoming Congregation.
