Witchy Con

I am happy and proud to announce that hubby and I will be going to Witchy Con this year. It is only in its second year (I think) but is becoming more popular. It is being held in Wantage and the price for entry is £10 - and this will get you free coffee and tea during the day, free entrance to all workshops and talks and that leaves you extra money to spend on the trading hall. You also get a goodie bag with magazines, book chapters and who knows what else she can rustle up!?

Witchy Con is the brainchild of Judith Lewis ... oh blah, let me just copy and paste the blurb from her website:

WitchyCon is the brainchild of Judith Lewis, a lightly seasoned conrunner (even better in a white wine sauce) and David Row, an overseasoned conrunner. Both have extensive experience creating and running a variety of conventions across different subject matters close to their heart. Having already worked on or with Fantasy, Science Fiction and Anima conventions, one interest was left unconventioned - Paganism, Witchcraft and Magick.

Having experienced a variety of conferences and constantly muttered about how they should have been done differently, the pair have put their money where their mouthes are (and feet and copious amounts of Malteesers) and organized WitchyCon. This convention brings to the pagan market all the things each liked from their respective conrunning experiences.

WitchyCon is meant to be an experience. You do not need to know a single thing about paganism or anything witchy as the whole purpose is to educate in a fun way. Each talk touches upon a different aspect from the world of paganism and presents a great opportunity to learn without needing to know anything before hand. New friends are made, old ones revisited and fun is the theme of the day.
