Sick on the Sabbat

January 10, 2018 By Annwyn Avalon

For witches and pagan, Sabbats and other various holy days pertaining to particular paths are often the most important days of the year for us.

Almost as soon as I started to learn belly dance I became interested in the sacred aspect of movement. Over the years I studied many different forms of dance, mostly focusing around Middle Eastern culture. I studied Ballet and Folk dances as well. Only a few years after I began dancing I attended a sacred dance workshop and not too long after that I began to study different forms of sacred dance. I was invited to observe and partake in an Umbanda ritual and from then on I knew that Dancing was part of my magical path. Read more
