Learn About Witches at USU's Museum of Anthropology

Halloween is approaching, and in its continuation of the new Saturday activity series and as part of month-long activities relating to Halloween, the Utah State University Museum of Anthropology offers information about witches and witchcraft throughout the world.

Activities take place Saturday, Oct. 20. Guests will learn about witches and witchcraft found in various cultures throughout history. Afternoon guests will also be treated to a special discussion about Wicca by a special guest and follower of Wicca, Daneen Deuel. Deuel will host discussions on her religion and the myths associated with it at 1, 2 and 3 p.m.

 

“There’s more to being a Wiccan than being a witch,” said Deuel. “A Wiccan has a deep love of nature, a desire to improve yourself and a good will toward the universe.”

 

Wicca is a nature-based religion found in various countries throughout the world.

 

USU students and members of the public can drop in any time during the museum’s new 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday hours.

 

The Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, room 252. Free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building.
