News Economy hexes Atlanta Witch's Ball
Posted by Ken Edelstein on Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Is nothing sacred? We received a press release last month for the Atlanta Witch's Ball, which was to be held Oct. 25 at The Atrium on Memorial Drive. But Joeff Davis saw this today on the ball's website:
Due to the turn the economy has taken recently, the 2008 Atlanta Witch’s Ball will not be held. This year has been a rough year economically for many of our community. The recent hurricanes and resulting increase in prices on everything from food to gas to utilities has hurt our community tremendously.
The ball is described on the site as a night of "magick and enchantment" sponsored by the North Georgia Solitaries, a networking group for solitary practitioners of paganism and witchcraft (Hey, wait a second: Why do solitary practitioners have a networking group?)
An FAQ website also says: "As always, we will offer a midnight Samhain ritual for Pagans who wish to participate and non-Pagans are welcome to watch."
Except "as always" doesn't include 2008. Thanks a lot, Mr. Credit Crisis.
