Witchcraft, Faith-Healing, & Pow-Wow in Pennsylvania
Interested in charms, enchantments, occult history and lore that have been found all over the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania? According to the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, "Pennsylvania is a national leader in religious diversity and expression." This cultural heritage beginning with Pennsylvania's founder, William Penn, has continued to this day. Because of this, you can see why Pennsylvania has been the home of such a wide variety of views, from the most free-thinking to the most conservative. The magic found within this land has influenced and been influential in spiritual & occult expressions all over the world, from Appalachian folk practices, to the Hoodoo Candle Shop magic, to the Obeah of the Caribbean, and many other places where those with a penchant for all things hidden (occult) can be found. We'll be starting from the early 1800s and work our way through to our modern times. Out instructor is Matt D, who loves midnight bonfires with friends, the folklore of herbs and plants, and nature walks in the woods.
