Witches Walk

Celebrating exceptional women; the music video

The Fourth Annual Witches Walk was a tremendous success. Thank you to Joyce Held as chief organizer, and to all the folks who came out to celebrate Margaret Krieger and all exceptional women. Local lore says Margaret was accused of witchcraft in the 18th century here in Pownal, VT, and was thrown into the Hoosic River. The tale (here starting on p. 213) says she was pulled out when authorities realized she was innocent. We celebrate Krieger not as a witch, but as an example of a strong women, many of whom have been demonized through history. Here is songwriter and performer Phil Henry’s music video celebration of Widow Krieger.
