Thank you to all of you who attended our 1st Annual Masquerade Witches Ball, Masque of the Witching Hour 2008, and helped to make it the blessed event that it turned out to be. How wonderful it was to see all of you decked out in your witchy finery. It appears that we have some very fine seamstresses and tailors among the pagan community—as well as the secular—as some of the costumes and masks were more than outstanding in creativity and craftsmanship. Even those who didn’t make their own attire were quite imaginative in their conception.

Congratulations goes out to Ric, (with a “c”), McKenzie, on winning the grand prize of the Bahamas Cruise. What an extraordinary wizard you made, and your handmade staff was exquisite. Please remember to take lots of pictures and let us know when you’ve returned and will upload them to the site so we may all enjoy your trip vicariously.

A very close runner-up congratulations goes to Michelle Poor who enticed the judges attention as an enchanting scarlet witch. Hope you enjoy your Wicked books.

Lots of pictures were taken, and as soon as we receive them we’ll post them on the SJUP site.

This year’s ritual focused on our ancestors, honoring the dark essence of Samhain and the true persona of a witch—both now and historically. If you missed this year’s event, I hope you’ll consider joining all of us at Sacred Journey~Untamed Path next year, as once again, we will lift the veil and enjoy the bridging of our pagan community and other religious followers through this joyous gathering of spiritual bonding.

Again, I thank all of our wonderful sponsors and those individuals who helped with the ball.

Autumn Blessings~
