So much gratitude for the Community

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 [email protected]
