A Pagan & Witchy Space that welcomes you as you are
Hail the Doers! What a magical night in the Court of the Fae! We’re still glowing from the enchantment of our masquerade ball and NEPA Pagan Pride Day Festival fundraiser, and we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped bring this vision to life. It takes a village to create a night in our Court of Faerie, and we’re so grateful to the incredible team of volunteers and staff who poured their time, energy, and love into every detail of the evening. Your dedication made this event possible and your magick made it such memorable time. There are sooo many to tag and thanks for this. Special thanks go to Ben Dugas of LB Entertainment for the stunning lighting and sound that transformed the space into something truly otherworldly. To the mesmerizing performers of Rebecca Drew and the performers from the Wild Vines Aerial Team—thank you for weaving beauty and wonder into the night. Your performance was mesmorizing!! We’re also deeply grateful to our amazing vendors: Woodsy Witch, Witchletoe, and Connected Fungirl Wellness , for adding charm and creativity to our Vendor Village. We deeply appreciate you so much Thank you to Cypress Haberkern with Bewitched Boards for the delicious and thoughtfully arranged spread of food that kept us nourished while we danced and delighted. A very special shoutout goes to Melanie M Konnick, who took the lead on planning décor and setup—your vision and artistry helped us step into Faerie from the moment we arrived. And of course, thank you to Marjorie Carney, our talented photographer, for capturing the spirit of the evening in what we’ve affectionately dubbed our “Pagan Prom Photos.” We’ll be sharing some of the other images she took soon (will add them to this post). We would love to see the night through your eyes as well—please share or tag us in any photos you took! It was such a gift to see so many new faces and reconnect with old friends. Whether you danced, served, laughed, or simply witnessed—it was your presence that made the night so powerful. Thank you for dreaming this into being with us Photo Credits: Erin Walton, Mandy Van Brunt with Thrifti Pics Photography. (Again more photos and credits coming soon). For those new to us! Welcome!!!!! We have a lot of events and gatherings we offer that you can learn about on our Events Listing. We hope to see you soon!!

Hello Beloved Community,
Unfortunately, due to the current Winter Weather Advisory and the hazardous travel conditions expected this evening, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel tonight’s Full Moon Labyrinth Walk. We were holding out hope for a change in the weather, but with the forecast predicting significant snow, sleet, and icy conditions, safety must come first. We apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause. Stay safe and warm through the storm, and we look forward to gathering with you again soon. Our next Full Moon labyrinth walk is on Saturday, March 15th at 7PM Thank you for your understanding and continued support. WVCUUPS Management As the wheel turns and we move toward Imbolc, we find ourselves at the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox—a time of rekindling light, nurturing hope, and preparing for the seasons ahead. While winter still holds us in its embrace, Imbolc reminds us that beneath the surface, life is stirring.
Tonight, we gather for our in-person Imbolc Ritual, honoring Brigid, the goddess of poetry, smithcraft, and healing. This sacred time invites us to reflect, dream, and set intentions for the months ahead. As part of the ritual, participants will have the opportunity to bless their ceremonial tools, divination implements, or creative instruments, infusing them with renewed purpose for the path forward. If you’re joining us, be sure to arrive between 3:45-4:00 PM, as the ritual will begin promptly at 4:10 PM. We’ll conclude the evening with a potluck, so please bring a dish to share (with ingredients listed for those with dietary needs). In community news, we’re excited to announce that Eric Peisel is our new Wyoming Valley CUUPs Manager for 2025! We look forward to his leadership and the continued growth of our circle. We are also accepting applications for WVCUUPS Officers—if you feel called to serve and help shape our inclusive and magickal haven, we encourage you to apply. As we navigate the deep winter months, connection is more vital than ever. We are thrilled to share that our WVCUUPS Discord server is thriving! If you haven’t joined yet, this space offers wonderful opportunities for conversation, resource-sharing, and deepening our community bonds. You will need to agree to the rules to see and interact with the full server. This year, more than ever, we need the power of diversity, inclusion, and shared wisdom. Whether through ritual, leadership, or everyday moments of kindness, each of us plays a role in fostering a safe, vibrant space for Pagans, witches, and earth-centered spiritual paths. May the returning light bring warmth to your heart and clarity to your path. We look forward to celebrating, growing, and creating magick together in the months ahead!
