The wheel turns towards summer, witches! And with the warming of the weather here in the USA comes the start of festival season 2025! Ah what could be better than the sound of drums in the distance, the scent of incense and fire smoke in the air, and the gathering of magickal souls under open skies and cozy tents!?!?! Spend the summer with other witchy souls setting up your altar in a forest clearing, dancing barefoot at sunset, and hopefully hugging those online witch friends in real life! Mark your calendars and pack your cloaks, because the witches are wandering, and the magick of festival season is calling!
