A Pagan & Witchy Space that welcomes you as you are
Deep gratitude to everyone who put on their faery best and joined us for a night of revelry with the Spring Court!We are still buzzing from the energy of The Magicians Masquerade & Pagan Pride Day Fundraiser Ball. This is how we fund our 2024 NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival.
It takes a village, and we'd like to shout out some of the many hands that made last night happen: Melanie M Konnick, our Decoration Co-ordinator, whose vision and direction transformed our little church into a magickal night of moons, stars and enchanted forest. Mandy Van Brunt from Thrifti Pics Photography. We can't wait to see all your Pagan Prom photos! Cypress Haberkern and Michael Williams for their amazing Charcuterie spread. Everything was absolutely delicious!! And our of course our amazing Vendors, Woodsy Witch and New Earth Essentials, LLC, who made the Spring Faerie Market such a shopping extravaganza! Your displays were fantastically beautiful!! Most of all, we'd like to thank our volunteers. For many of us, the Masquerade is a 4 PM to 1 AM affair. It's amazing, but it's a TON of work, and takes a group of about 20 volunteers to put on successfully. From clearing the spaces to hanging decorations to setting up stage lights to working the door to monitoring the bathrooms to cleaning up spills to the *biggest* lift of the night (returning everything to normal afterwards), our volunteers are the heartbeat and backbone of the Masquerade. This event is not possible for a single individual to put on - it takes a team. And our team is absolutely incredible. Hail the Do-ers! We can't wait to dance with you again next year! If you have photos you'd be willing to let us add to this album, send them over to us at wyomingvalleycuups@gmail.com

ANOTHER NOTE: One of the primary ways to get to the church is closed due to construction - Attendees Join the Wyoming Valley CUUPs chapter today at 6PM as we dive into a different dark God, Goddess or other Spiritual Power each month around the Dark Moon
These rituals may include a degree of shadow work and self-reflection. Dark Deities, Gods and Goddesses of the Underworlds, chaos, shadow and destruction, are sometimes thought of as bad in a binary good vs evil light. These Deities may not hide their shadow side and may make some of us feel uncomfortable, but through that shadow we often find deep introspection, shadow work, self-improvement, devotion and even love. This Dark Moon, we are honoring Lilith. After the ritual, there is a space for divination shares and tea The Wheel of the Year is turning its gaze toward the spring and the ever-increasing daylight reminds us that no winter lasts forever. Unfortunately, winter is also the season where we can find the cooler temperatures and lack of daylight challenging. At this time, cultivating connection to like minds and hearts is more important than ever. February is kicking off with some wonderful gatherings and spaces for connection. Lots of ways to lean into your Witchy and Pagan selves and be you. Rituals, Devotionals, Meditations, and so much more! Our April Masquerade is approaching fast! Come party with us while supporting our largest festival of the year! We are so excited to announce our Summer Solstice Pride Gathering and our NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival!With Love, the Wyoming Valley CUUPs Crows
