Books are like magic mugs. When you open a book, it's like taking a sip from a special mug that makes you feel warm and satisfied. Books have this incredible power to transport you to different worlds, introduce you to new characters, and spark your imagination. Just like a magic mug can hold any hot beverage you desire, books can hold any story you want to explore. Whether you want to dive into a fantasy realm with dragons and wizards, travel through time to historical events, or explore the depths of human emotions in a literary classic, books have the power to fulfill your every reading desire. Similar to how a magic mug can help you relax and unwind after a long day, books can offer comfort and escape from the stresses of everyday life.

The Witch Dance: What It Is And Where You Can See It Live

Every year, women and men get together to celebrate the seasons, host gatherings, dance, and have a good time.

But at the end of April, the women of Wolfshäger Hexenbrut (in English: The Wolf Hunter's Coven), located in Wolfshagen im Harz, Germany, do something a little different.

They get together to celebrate Walpurgis, a holiday celebrating fertility, celebrations including lots of dancing, foods, and drinking, which usually occurs every year on April 30th.

However, in 2016, their celebrations included a choreographed dance to Schüttel deinen Speck, in English: Shake Your Bacon, by German Reggae-Pop artist, Peter Fox, in 2008.

The dance went viral once posted to YouTube -

See their dance video here:

After their video took off, it made waves all around the world.

Their 'Witch Dance' was then picked up by various different covens, pagan groups and Halloween celebrations all over the world, becoming particularly popular with US-based groups.

The ladies posted a thank you note for the response they received that first year.

The choreography was later released to English by American choreographer Kelli Derengowski in North Carolina.

Since then, groups from all over the world have taken up the dance, and many groups have performed the witch dance live.

In America, the dances seem to have been scheduled not in honor of Walpurgis, but rather, for Samhain, also known as Halloween.

After these dance videos started popping up in cities all over the world from 2016-2017. This seems to have thereby turning Peter Fox's Schüttel deinen Speck into a now sort of universal anthem for female power.

Pop-Up Halloween Parade Witch Dancing Flash Mob Community Opportunity

Oh my goddess y’all! This is breaking news I wanna share with you NOW so maybe you can find a witch crew in your neck of the woods and together put out some light energy in these bonkers times!

Hi! I’m Bevin! I want to be a good influence on you! Community care really is the way we are going to create the world of our dreams and I want to help you get networked to folks you align with! This is a cool opportunity!

My local bestie Alexis (she’s a Port Townsend expert and has helped me understand this gorgeous neck of the Olympic Peninsula soooo much) slid into my texts inviting me to a pop-up witch flash mob practice session.

The “Witch Dance” is a choreographed dance, first performed in 2016 by the women of Wolfshager Hexenbrut (in English; The Wolf Hunter’s Coven), located in Wolfshagen in Harz, Germany. *Seen in above video. It is always performed to Peter Fox’s song “Schuttel dienen Speck,” which translates to “shake Your Bacon.”

Our local group is known as the Dancing Witches of the Olympic Peninsula and I only just met them at the dance class yesterday! I picked it up in one hour, and will likely need a couple more hours of practice at home and with the group to know it in my body. I think one of many reasons that make me a great aerobics instructor is that I don’t necessarily feel like a natural on the dance floor, I just show up and do it anyway. And I dedicate myself to the pursuit. Gives me good empathy for folks who also feel awkward on the dance floor!

I consider myself a “deliberate dancer” and it doesn’t matter if I’m “good” or not.

During our witch dance practice yesterday I was thinking about how these pop-up dance classes and performances are such a great way for folks who are witch identified to go out and meet potential new friends and community locally!

Community requires you keep showing up. “If you WANT community, you have to BE community.”–Myleik Teele

We are organized by a volunteer teacher (who has the greatest witch cackle I’ve ever heard in person) and a couple of volunteer wranglers and a facebook group for central information distribution.

I have volunteered so many hours in service to creating community in my life. Community care is the way we are going to get through these uncertain times. Bringing people together is sacred alchemy, and has been primarily “women’s work” for millenia. I have intense gratitude for everyone who serves to create community.

How do you find out your local witch pop-up group? Creative googling! Search the comments of videos of these pop-up performances on the world wide web! Start one yourself, the song and the video instructions are available online! It’s a brief time period and not a big time commitment!

Show up and remember nobody ever died of awkward. The first few times I am in new community I feel all the social anxiety and terror. It’s easier for me with a bestie!

Who is a witch? I think it’s self identified! I love the definitions “A woman who is not afraid of her own power” and “Woman In Total Control of Herself” while also recognizing there’s no gatekeeping for womanhood, or requirement that one be a woman in order to be a witch. If you feel it and resonnate with it, own it! Show up! The divine feminine is in each of us, as well as the divine masculine.

My mom has a pretty great witch cackle, too, but it kind of scares me. Here’s me at 9 years old bein’ a baby witch!

Some folks (I’m looking at anyone with strong Cancer placements) feel left out before they even show up. I can’t fix that for you. But I can encourage you to give folks the benefit of the doubt! And remind you of the work of Doctor Brene Brown (a Scorpio) who teaches that vulnerability is the only way to create connection.

You gotta put yourself out there in order to have the intimacy you crave with community or friendships or relationships. And a pop-up witch dance is such a low stakes way to experience folks you might have FUN with and life is supposed to be FUN and NOT TOIL.

I am considering my costume ideas and how to make a cute witch broom for our performances. We have two! The local Halloween parade! AND there’s a “witch walk” in Port Townsend at 2PM on Saturday October 14, which is something you can look up in your local municipality as it is designed to support small businesses.

Witches for sure support small businesses because we know that every bit of our energy is currency!

Oooh, and if you’re doing the witch dance, I would encourage you at the end with the “snake arms” to envision light energy coming out of your hands. Hands are an extension of our hearts and sending our light energy out is needed now more than ever.

**Insert witchy cackle!**

Similar to how a magic mug can help you relax and unwind after a long day, books can offer comfort and escape from the stresses of everyday life. They provide a form of solace and therapy, allowing you to disconnect from reality for a while and immerse yourself in a different world. Additionally, just like a magic mug can surprise you with a hidden design or message when you pour a hot beverage into it, books often have hidden depths and messages that can unveil themselves to you as you read.

Reviews for "Connect with Fellow Book Lovers Through our Books are Magic Mug"

- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to get the "Books are magic mug" as a gift for my friend who loves reading. However, when it arrived, I was disappointed to see that the print on the mug was blurry and poorly done. It looked cheap and not at all like the picture online. I was embarrassed to give it to my friend and ended up returning it.

- Mike - 1 star - The "Books are magic mug" was a huge disappointment. The size of the mug was much smaller than I expected, and the handle felt very flimsy. Additionally, the colors of the print were not as vibrant as they appeared online. I definitely wouldn't recommend this mug to anyone.

- Lisa - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the "Books are magic mug" since I love both books and mugs, but unfortunately, this one didn't make the cut. The quality of the mug was subpar, with visible imperfections and rough edges. The print was also not centered properly, and you could tell it was a rush job. Overall, I was disappointed with this purchase.
