If the Broom Fits: Halloween & the History of Witches – Livestreamed Event

10/17/22 @ 6:30pm – 10/17/22 @ 8:00pm Atwater Library Community Room Atwater Memorial Library Registration is required.

Grounded Goodwives Series #1

By popular demand, Ehris Urban & Velya Jancz-Urban, the mother/daughter duo known as the Grounded Goodwives, return to Atwater Memorial Library! (Virtually!)

How did the benevolent image of a wise woman transform into the malevolent figure of the witch we know today?

Have you ever wondered, especially on Halloween, why witches are depicted as riding on brooms through the nighttime sky? (It’s a story you may find difficult to explain to the kids!)

You’re never going to look at sweeping the same way again…

Registration Required! View the Zoom Livestream from home, or, view the livestream in the Atwater Memorial Library’s Community Room.
