Main Ritual - La Danse Macabre

Hearthfire Coven & Friends

Samhain is the time when the Veil is the thinnest, when we celebrate the death of one year’s cycle and the beginning of the next. This Samhain, take a voyage across the Veil through the magick of music and dance. Join in the journey of a newly formed spirit as she enters the unknown, faces her fear of death, and through the help of her ancestors and the sovereigns of the Underworld, she embraces the next stage of her metamorphosis.
