Tickets are available ONLY on The Green Man Store website, and must be purchased NO LATER THAN 5PM THE DAY OF THE EVENT. This event is the biggest and most popular of the year and tickets are limited, so please secure your ticket early!
Tickets are $35.

This is an Old World Traditional Witchcraft working for the dead. Be advised it is not an appropriate event for children. This gathering is not a Halloween party; this is a real witchcraft working. We do work for the passing of loved ones but also, we call upon the Wild Hunt, calling in the lost souls and aiding them across the Veil. This working gets intense with power and high energy. Be prepared for such participation and bring desserts and drinks to add to the potluck for after the ritual, as grounding after the ritual will be necessary!

You are invited to bring photos and/or items* of loved ones that have passed, whom you would like to honor or work with, and light a candle, on our Hallowed Ancestral Altar. Please keep this within reason as space on the altar is limited. You are also welcome to bring your Ancestral Bone/Skull fetish to be worked on the Ancestral Altar. Again, please keep this within reason. The Altar will be made available from 7:00pm on.

*This has become an increasingly popular event and is very well attended–there are often 200 people in attendance, not to mention the horde of spirits that usually attends. Please keep this in mind when choosing what to bring to place on the altar. There should be space enough for everyone to honor their loved ones if we all are considerate and strive to keep our skulls, photos, and mementos small and few.

Please remove all belongings after the event as items left will be discarded.

The Ritual will start at 9 pm sharp. We will not wait past 9, and once the ritual starts no one will be allowed in, so please be there well before that!

Following the Ritual, stay to celebrate the season socially spending an evening catching up with old friends from both sides of the veil! Remember to please bring a dessert and/or drinks to share with friends and with the ancestors.

This year: Leaning into the Cunning Arts of the Cunning Folk to make a world we can live with, not just exist with but solutions we can thrive with!

This is a popular yearly Series where we explore the deeper, more advanced, personal initiate type work of Traditional Witchcraft. The premise being that within the Witch is a born predisposition, what in the old world was called ‘The Gifts’. These are the nature born qualities that has made witches a target by mainstream religion and society throughout history. As these ‘gifts’ lend us the liberty of seeing the world outside the box, so to speak. We are by nature Artists of Spirit, and armed with such an Art of Witchery we can be co-creative in our cosmos, shaping reality where needed. This is what is known as the Witch-blood, which in most old world religions was recognized as those of part spirit, part human lineage.

Although born into this heretical state of questioning everything, many of us unfortunately are forced into compliance by society or even family members. Ending with us denying our gifts and nature so we can better fit in with what is deemed ‘normal’ folks! Then as adults, finding that the normal world left us feeling like something was missing within us, some find their way to the Craft and so begins the process of awakening the Witch-Blood to it’s full potential! Something that takes many years and without the help of others, not an easy path to follow.

Each year we look at our inherent gifts with a focus of how to lean into them and strengthen them, as tools to deal with the crazy world we have to deal with around us. Making the Craft and our ‘gifts’ practical tools to apply towards solving the problems of our immediate world. A different angle and focus each year, as witches tend to take this series year after year. This year we are truly leaning into the Witch-blood ‘gifts’ as we take on some of the reservations man of us struggle with that truly are born of the profane world we find ourselves having to navigate. To be a Cunning Woman or Man, the Cunning Folk, was an old world term for Witches, that has picked up some negative baggage. Alas as is so often the case, we feel the pressure to white wash and walk away from the more potent aspects of our old ways, because mainstream finds them threatening or unpalatable. This year we are exploring this area of the Craft, because enough it enough, and we are done with waiting for the world to get over itself! It’s time to clear out the clutter between our ears and take a fresh look at who we are and what we hold, when we are not trying to fit in with the so called normal world!

This Series will work with terminology and Witchcraft Traditional forms that students have been exposed to in earlier classes. This is not for beginners. If you think you can hang without prior classes, reach out and make your case to Carrie. She will steer you true. No one wants you to spend hard earned dollars on a series you may not be able to get much from. We do many other series you can check out and swing back around next year. We have been doing this series every year for over ten years. We are not going anywhere!

Please note: class will skip on 11/3/26 for Election Day.

***This series includes a Vision Quest each week. Whether on Zoom or in person, please come prepared to be comfortable for that. Also, this is the one series each year where grounding snacks may be necessary. Please bring snacks to share.***

Class fees: $33 for single class, $235 for the series purchased in advance.
