My heart is full after another beautiful All Hallows Lee 🕯️🖤🍁 Thank you to everyone who bundled up, wandered through Downtown Lee, supported our vendors and local businesses, enjoyed the music and performances, and helped fill the day with so much wonder, fun, and whimsy. Each year, this celebration grows a little more… and that is only possible because our community continues to believe in it.

All Hallows Lee is a grassroots, donation-supported happening built through many helping hands. It could not exist without the artists, makers, musicians, performers, practitioners, businesses, sponsors, volunteers, and neighbors who share their time, talents, resources, and hearts.

I have endless gratitude and admiration for my co-organizer, @Dr.KerryMcGinn of @YogaLeeStudio, and for our team: @iamSarahBrianna of Sarah Brianna Coaching, Lauren of @xtwii, and Brother Andrew Christos of @MorningStar.Collective. Thank you to The Enchanted Altar team… Erin, Ashley @ashiepoe, Paula, and Andrea… and to our extended practitioners, Caitlyn of @QueenFlowerTherapy and Avalon of @GoodHeavensTattoos. Each of you carried an important piece of this celebration, and I am so grateful to walk beside you 🫶🏻

As an artist and maker, supporting and showcasing local artisans is deeply personal to me. As a ritualist and animist, creating spaces where we can gather throughout the year, mark the passage of time, honor the cycles, and truly witness one another is paramount to the personal oath I have taken to live a life of service and devotion to my neighbors, both near and far.

May we all step more fully into the roles we are meant to carry 🙌🏻 and thrive within them. May we learn from our past, integrating its lessons and experiences into the knowledge, wisdom, compassion, and grace we carry forward. And as we cross the threshold into the dark months, may we continue tending the light for one another.

Thank you for helping us conjure the magic ✨

It was such an honor to welcome author and practicing witch Judy Ann Nock to Lee for a special All Hallows Lee meet-and-greet and book signing at @Bliss.CrumbsandCoffee. After months of planning and correspondence, finally meeting Judy in person was an absolute pleasure. Her warmth, generosity, and willingness to share her wisdom brought another layer of magic to an already unforgettable day 📖✨📚

Judy is an international bestselling author whose books have been translated into multiple languages and enjoyed by readers around the world. Beyond the written word, she is also a musician, metalsmith, mother, and practicing witch known for bringing modern witchcraft into both popular culture and spaces such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Met Cloisters.

If you missed the signing… or met Judy and are ready to explore more of her work… we have four of her beautiful books available at The Enchanted Altar:

💎 The Modern Witchcraft Book of Crystal Magick | A comprehensive guide to working with crystals in spellcraft and ritual, featuring 50 stones and gems alongside practices for building a meaningful collection.

ᚱ The Modern Witchcraft Guide to Runes | Explore the history, interpretation, and divinatory power of runes, with guidance for incorporating them into readings, spellwork, and personal practice.

🌿 The Modern Witchcraft Guide to Magickal Herbs | A beautiful resource for bringing herbs into spells, rituals, and divination… with herbal correspondences and guidance for creating bundles, potions, sprays, and more.

🌙 The Modern Witchcraft Book of Natural Magick | Reconnect with the living world through earth-centered practices honoring plants, crystals, water, the elements, the sun, the moon, and the cycles of nature.

Published by @adams_media, an imprint of @simonandschuster, these books are approachable enough for the curious beginner while offering plenty of inspiration for established practitioners.

Thank you, @TranceSister, for sharing your time, wisdom, and magic with our community. We are so grateful you joined us… and I hope this is only the beginning. ✨

Aug 28: @Showbrain_ switched the highly-anticipated @Fender @DinosaurJr Aug 29 free show at Maria Hernandez Park (which was canceled due to oversize crowd concerns) to a surprise Friday afternoon show at Tompkins Square Park, but encountered similar concerns from the NYC Parks department, so after Dinosaur Jr. played a short set without announcement and fanfare, NYC punky garage rock band @Native_Sun became the headliner and made the most of it.

Led by @This_Is_Gomez 🎤 🎸, with @Faustinct on bass/🎤, @Steaming_Manhole 🎸, & @NicoEP_drums 🥁 🎤, Native Sun played a 6-song set of songs from 2025 @ToDo.Records debut LP Concrete Language that mixed Velvet Underground & Britpop vibes, ending with a raucous performance of "Adam" (included here in an extended clip) that had Gomez drop his guitar to join the slam dancing scrum he had inspired.
