If the Broom Fits...Halloween and the History of Witches

Join us on Wednesday, October 26, at 7PM for a presentation on "If the Broom Fits...Halloween and the History of Witches"...brought to you by the mother/daughter duo of Grounded Goodwife.

Have you ever wondered, especially on Halloween, why witches are depicted as riding on brooms through the nighttime sky?  (It's a story you may find difficult explaining to the kids!)  How did the benevolent image of a wise woman transform into the malevolent figure of the witch we know today?  Join us and find out!  You're never going to look at sweeping the same way again...

Velya Jancz-Urban and Ehris Urban are the mother/daughter duo of Grounded Goodwife.  Velya’s gregarious personality and Ehris’ serene energy enable this mother/daughter duo to connect with audiences through their green witch workshops, herstory unsanitized presentations, and books.  Funny and frank, Velya and Ehris share their respect for Mother Nature, enthusiasm for all things green, and belief that history (and life!) should never be boring.
