We are calling all Shamans, Healers, Priestess, Witches, of color.
Come join us October 20-22, 2017, for the second annual Black Witch Convention in Baltimore, MD!
The time has come to make sure our voices are heard. The time has come to step out of the back room. The time has come for us to connect, grow, learn, heal, and share our knowledge and sisterhood energy.
Sisters across the globe are reconnecting to nature and indigenous healing and are looking to reach out to other sisters of like minds and like energy. We are planning for the Dawtas of the Moon: Black Witch Convention to be the largest coven gathering for women of color!!!!
