'New Years Around the World' Series Examines Wicca In Time For Halloween
Author: Jodi Lee Reifer Source: Staten Island Live (silive.com, NY)
Title: 'NEW YEARS AROUND THE WORLD' SERIES EXAMINES WICCA IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN
Gory ghouls and fang-bearing vampires may bang the doors for candy or heave toilet paper into trees in your neighborhood come Halloween.
But the season takes on a more spiritual tone in at least one spot this year.
The Council on the Arts and Humanities for Staten Island hosts an in-depth presentation of Halloween as Samhain, the witches’ high holiday, Oct. 29.
The event is part of COAHSI Folk Life’s series, "New Years Around the World."
"It’s just a chance to reflect on what’s passed and what’s to come," says the program’s officiator Mark Eadicicco of Westerleigh, who describes himself as a Wiccan witch. Wicca is an earth-honoring, polytheistic religion. It is a mixture of reconstructed ancient Pagan beliefs and modern magic practices.
