It’s better as a coven

A story by admin on .

It’s better participating in the walk as a coven. This year, the supreme witches suggest you walk in small groups. We will call these small groups your coven. Your coven will choose the path to the final destination.

Each coven should have a head witch. This head witch will lead your coven on the magical journey. We ask head witches to:

  • gather your coven near the Rev’d Barclay monument in Skeleton Park.
  • listen to announcements from the supreme witches.
  • share announcements with their coven.
  • reminds the coven to stick to pedestrian paths and rules of the road – like using sidewalks, mindful of crosswalks (this is not a parade using the streets of Kingston).
  • have ample space between your coven and other covens. Try to avoid bottlenecking. It’s not a race, it’s a walk.
  • lead your coven on your chosen path to Confederation Park for 8PM. This path could include stopping at a local haunt for photos, having a quick witches’ brew coffee stop, buying that last minute flying broom, or arriving early to watch all the other witches.

If you are a solo-practitioner – think about joining a coven. Arrive early to find other solo-practitioners to join in and start your own coven.

The Walk – our main event

A story by admin on .

Hello Witches, Wizards, and all others to our main event – the Kingston Witches’ Walk. This is your time to dress in your witch or wizard attire and join others in a walk in downtown Kingston. Plus, this is a time to donate to our chosen charity – The Elizabeth Fry Society of Kingston – a wickedly wonderful charity empowering women.

A few witchy notes:

  • Please bring cash money for donations. Our supreme witches will be accepting cash donations for the Elizabeth Fry Society of Kingston.
  • This is an all ages event. We do anticipate little witches, maiden witches, mother witches, and crone witches. Even wizards and sorcerers of all ages.
  • This is a non-religious event. Although witches of any and all faiths are welcome.
  • The event is predominantly for women; however, it is inclusive of all witches, warlocks, sorcerers, and sorceresses of all genders.

The gathering will begin after sundown in Skeleton Park – rain or moonlight (rain or shine). The walk will begin making its way down to Confederation Park. In Confederation Park, we’ll have a message from our chosen charity – the Elizabeth Fry Society of Kingston. Afterward, we welcome our sister witches – The Cauldron Sisters – to give a dance performance for our enjoyment.

The wickedly wonderful plan

  • Gather after sundown in Skeleton Park (around 6:30PM near) around the old Rev’d Barclay monument (the obelisk on the north side close to Balaclava St.).
  • Announcements by the supreme witches
  • Begin your wickedly wonderful walk (7:00PM). We ask you to please:
    • walk in smaller coven groups using pedestrian sidewalks and crosswalks.
    • choose your own magical route, stop for photos, cast a few spells, stop at your local haunts and confuse a few muggles.
    • remember this is a casual walk. Take your time. Enjoy!
  • Meet at Confederation Park in front of City Hall
  • Announcements by supreme witches in Confederation Park (8:00PM)
  • Message by the Elizabeth Fry Society of Kingston
  • The Cauldron Sisters performance (around 8:30PM)! This should be a magical moment!
  • The walk comes to a close by 9PM.

After the walk – is it time for a drink?
