The astronomical magic hollyhock is a rare and enchanting flower that captivates the imagination. With its vibrant colors and unique characteristics, it stands out amongst other flowers in the garden. This celestial beauty is a symbol of divine energy and cosmic connection. One of the most mesmerizing aspects of the astronomical magic hollyhock is its ability to change colors depending on the position of the stars and planets. When the night sky is filled with twinkling stars, the petals of the hollyhock take on a deep indigo hue, reflecting the vastness of the universe. On nights when the moon is full, the petals transform into a shimmering silver, reminiscent of moonlit beauty.

The witches are back and taking over the streets of Saratoga Springs, NY, for this year's Annual Witch Walk and Dance Animal Benefit.

The 2023 Witch Walk & Dance is planned for its 2nd year in downtown Saratoga Springs, NY on Saturday, October 21st 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The Witch Walk & Dance is a fundraiser/benefit to raise donations to support animal organizations. The event has brought over 500 participants and thousands of dollars in donations for animal charities and revenue to the local businesses by encouraging folks to put together their most imaginative “witchy attire” and decorate the streets with their beautiful hats, brooms, and costumes all for an amazing cause.

It's that time of year when the witches' dress in their finest, pull out their brooms and dance through the streets "shaking their bacon." Spread the word & get ready to "Shake your bacon" all for a great cause on Saturday, October 21st, 2023! Dances originate from the Wolfshager Hexenbrut Witches of Germany and add an element of joy and fun to the event throughout the afternoon and evening. The Witch Way Wanderers Dancers dance the event away from 12:30 p.m. at the Saratoga Library, 1:30 in the new City Center Park on High Rock Avenue during registration and then again on Caroline Street to kick off the event at 2:30/3:00pm. Registration will take place between 2:00-4:00 p.m. at 37 High Rock Avenue at the City Center Parking Garage lower level.

For 17 years (originally the Ballston Spa Witch Walk) this event has quickly grown to bring in more donations and participants in turn making the event more colorful, inclusive, and creative along the way. We offer the opportunity to dance fun, flash mob-like dances to lively music throughout the evening in various locations that welcome us for the 5-15 minutes of dances. Historically, including teaching a few spectators or fellow “witches” along the way.

Final Dance Practice/ Dress Rehearsal is scheduled for Wednesday, October 18th at 5:30pm at the City Center Park 37 High Rock Ave in Saratoga Springs.

The “witchy” participants patronize local businesses, explore the town, participate in the witch dances, and enjoy an evening out with friends making new friends along the way.

The “Witches” add an element of fall, Halloween, and everything October is meant to be when they come to town and “Wander” the streets for the evening!

PLEASE NOTE: Every year we get messages and comments asking if participating in The Dance and Walk, are wristbands required? So the answer is yes, the $25/$30 DONATION ($35 @ Door) is accepted, appreciated, and required to participate (and to claim you participate) in the events. We do The Walk for the "cause" if you want to just dress up and head to bars please do so on Halloween. This "dance and pub crawl" benefits rescue and animal organizations and charities. There is overhead but the volunteers have “donated” time, money, and supplies for 16 years without ever considering "what we get out of it. "Witch Walk SOSA and our dance troupe The Witch Way Wanderers offer the Witch Dance practices as another avenue to bring in donations for those that want to participate but may not want to do the "crawl." To address "what do I get for the $25?" You get the satisfaction that you have made a donation to benefit those furry critters that have no voice. The "donation/ wristband" fee goes to charities aside from a small amount to advertising, wristbands, insurance, and the annual enamel pin. Since 2006 those that participate can do so knowing it is for a great cause. You would not run in an Alzheimer's or Breast Cancer marathon or walk without donating. This is the same type of event but for animals. Thanks for your understanding and support. Know that even if you "purchase” a wristband and can not attend, that your "donation" is going directly to the animals.

Reviews for "The Astronomical Magic Hollyhock and the Cosmos: Exploring the Cosmic Energy Field"

1. Emily - 2/5 - I was really excited to read "Astronomical Magic Hollyhock" as I'm a fan of fantasy novels, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The world-building was confusing and the magic system was poorly explained. Halfway through the book, I still didn't understand how the characters were able to perform their magical abilities. The plot was also slow-paced and lacked any sense of urgency. I had a hard time staying engaged and eventually gave up on finishing it.

2. Mark - 1/5 - I couldn't stand "Astronomical Magic Hollyhock". The writing was clumsy and filled with clichés. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth. I couldn't connect with any of them and found myself not caring about their fates. The romance in the book was also forced and unrealistic. It felt like the author was just ticking off boxes of popular fantasy tropes without putting any effort into making them feel original or authentic. Overall, I found the book to be a huge disappointment.

3. Sarah - 2/5 - I found "Astronomical Magic Hollyhock" to be a predictable and unoriginal fantasy novel. The plot was full of clichés and followed the same formula as countless other books in the genre. The characters, while likable at times, were also quite bland and lacked any real development. The pacing was slow and the action scenes were poorly executed. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied with this book. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh and unique fantasy read.
