Sun 6/26 @ 5:30-7:30PM
Coven, the Lakewood boutique which caters to the “modern witch” community with candles, crystals, botanicals, tarot decks and other magical items, is celebrating Pride month with an events called “Coming Out of the Broom Closet.”
They’re inviting “all who identify as witches … all styles and star signs, all genders and genres,” to come to the event dressed as their favorite “culturally iconic witch” and bring a book, DVD or picture that “illustrates your abracadabra moment — that sweeping, shining, sensational second when you knew that you were a witch!”
At the event, people will share their personal stories through poems, song and spells, crafting community calling cards, chanting, dancing and in general celebrating the power of witchcraft. The event is hosted by Coven regular Donna (Blue Cobweb), who describes herself as a “proud feminist activist, writer, dog mum,” who came out as a witch in 2019 and whose preferred method of spell-casting involves candles and herbs.
Admission is $25, with $20 going to The Trevor Project, which focuses on suicide prevention among LGBTQ+ teens. Get tickets here.
