PHOTO TOUR:Asheville's 14th Annual Free Public Witch Ritual
... continued ...
 |
Since our saving Asheville’s downtown magnolia tree from a developer’s chainsaw had been a Coven project all year, we designated a tree in the center of the circling field to be our ritual dance focus. |  |
| Tree bedecked with beads, Quarter altars, tombstones, luminaries, and skeletal decor. View larger. | View of whole tree, surrounded
by four altars in the four directions. View larger. |
| To fashion each of our four altars we used four milk crates under a plywood rectangle, and adorned it with drapes and accoutrements (recycled from previous years’ Samhain decor) corresponding to that Quarter. | ||
