RETRO in neon letters, the O is flickering

30 years ago, when Coven Oldenwilde called Pagans & Witches to emerge from their broom closet & work magic downtown in front of the Courthouse, Jail, & City Hall, we didn’t imagine that babes at breast would now be bringing their own kids — & a’times their grandkids — to our yearly rite. This year marks the 30-year Saturn Return astrological cycle completion of our annual public Samhain Sabbat.

Therefore, we invite you to:

  • What: Coven Oldenwilde’s 30th annual free public Witch Samhain Sabbat Thursday Oct. 31st (Halloween) 7 PM UNTIL
  • Where: The Covenstead at 113 Clinton Ave., Asheville, NC 28806 (park across Clinton on curb or in school parking lot)
       Parents are encouraged to secure a babysitter in order to return after trick-or-treating to participate in magic beginning around 8 or 9 PM.
  • Theme: RETRO — from hippie to hoodoo, medieval, Renaissance …
  • Garb ideas: Loincloth; toga; Witch cape; Ren Faire; leather; lace—any time or culture!
  • Ritual features: Spiral Dance; lavish Cakes & Wine; fire-pit camaraderie
  • Surprises as always! Gifts for all!
  • Anti-Omicron face masks MANDATORY: We’ll provide free if ya’ got none or forget
  • Please confirm your participation
  • No pets, to prevent Covid transmission & attendee allergies.
  • Bring-to-share seasonal meat finger-foods & hard cider, or DRY wine, ale, &c.
