Are you a Wiccan hippie goddess-worshipper? Do you have purple bumper stickers on your mode of transportation? If yes, go directly to the 29th Annual Spiral Dance. The event is a huge witchy ritual, honoring the beloved dead and the newly born, because as you know, at this time of year the veil between the worlds is thin. If no, understand this: Tonight's Pagan New Year celebration involves poetry, music, and hundreds of people holding hands in giant interlocking circles. Everyone attending participates in the dance, no one drinks or does drugs, and children are welcome. It's Burner-friendly, and there may be a little fire dancing or glowy hula hooping, but Black Rockers, keep in mind you're in the sacred space of a religious group, not at a rave. New arrivals to the Bay Area: If you've been waiting your whole life to be among the truly free-spirited, among those who not only hold but create those famous San Francisco values -- welcome home.
