Inside an Upstate NY Witch Camp
Last weekend, at OlioHouse—an unassuming Victorian-style home in Wassaic—a sizable group of 20- and 30-somethings attended Witch Camp. There were no spells cast at the upstate New York location, but there were art classes, sage-burning, a Halloween-themed party and lectures on the witch trials of the 16th and 17th centuries. While witches today don’t face the same horrific repercussions as those in history, Tara Kenny (an Olio attendee and court advocate for incarcerated youth) says, “Fear of women organizing and the power of women is kind of connected to things happening in politics today.” Read more about the camp at the New York Times.
