Blessed Be and welcome to the African American Wiccan Support Group. It is my belief that there are many African Americans like myself, who are interested in the structure of the Wiccan philosophy, but have no support system, as there are with others religions such as Kemetic, Egyptian, Shango, Voodum and etc. Please join us and have a drink of warm wine. You have found a home to discuss the theory of Wicca, swap knowledge and spells, and share your experiences. This belief system is new to many of us, but please leave all negative energy outside of the door. It is my wish that this group helps people of color to ease into this earth based system, learn about African deities, learn to commune with the Ancestral Spirits and pay honor to the Mother-Goddess and Her Consort.



Samhain: October 31 (Considered Witches' New Year). An ancient festival of the old Western-World tradition. Samhain marks the third and final harvest, and the storage of provisions for the cold, which celebrates the beginning of winter. The veil between the worlds of the living and dead is the thinnest during this time making communications easier. Souls of the dead (Ancestors) can come into the land of the living. Samhain is a time for eliminating weaknesses, when Pagans once slaughtered weak animals that were thought not to be able to survive the winter. This custom resulted in the modern practice by some who wanted to get rid of their weaknesses by writing them on a piece of paper and dropping them into a fire. People of ancestor worship call upon them to help them eliminate bad habits and weaknesses. We say Goodbye to the Great Lord and Greet the Great Crone. Samhain was Christianized into All Hallow’s Eve or Halloween.
