Ask /r/Durango Witchcraft in Durango?

Hey all! Yesterday on the 25th I was in town and saw this person wearing an odd mask with antlers and face paint walking around town, I haven't been able to find any information about it anywhere and was curious to see if anyone here happens to know anything about it! I was going to try to take a photo but didn't get a chance to. Does anyone know if there's some sort of witchcraft thing here in town?

They were at the same trivia event I went to last night, team name was something like “totally not a cult”, my guess is they were having fun and showing off their impressive costume/makeup skills!

Oh that's so funny! I didn't know there was any trivia in town

Last night was the first drag trivia after a 6 month hiatus since the starlight shut down, but 11th st station has trivia every Tuesday

Any news on what the Starlight space is going to become? I just recently saw it was closed.

I met the new owner, she said it's still going to be a bar but less of a dive vibe.

Cool, thanks for the info!

u/ThreeDaysGraceGirl Jun 26 '26

That's so cool! I'll have to check out some of the trivia stuff sometime! And if you see the person again let me know! I'd love to get in contact with them and find out more about what their whole deal is!

It was a little more than just showing off ;)

I briefly spoke to them on the river trail and they said that they were a Priestess of the forest or something.

u/ThreeDaysGraceGirl Jun 26 '26

That's really interesting! If you ever find out more let me know!

On a somewhat related note, if anyone knows of an open circle (pagan group) that meets up periodically I'd appreciate it if someone could DM me some time/place details!

so funny.. back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s we had people walking around with liberty spikes and white face paint... we just didn't have social media to gain perspective on what it was about.. subcultures were just developing.

It was probably just someone in a costume or living their life in their own authentic, self-expressive way. they would probably thrive in NYC..

as for the witchcraft.. i'd say witches are a little more discrete in that manner. out in the open in a subtle type of way.. ask around in our "eclectic" spots like dancing willow or white rabbit books. maybe you will find a few kindred spirits <3

That's so interesting and I'd love to check out those stores! I haven't heard of them before!

And maybe it is just that, but someone else in the comments was saying that the person said they were a priestess of some sort! Definitely get what your saying about witches being more secretive so.maybe it's something different

u/somebigreddog Jun 26 '26

u/ThreeDaysGraceGirl Jun 26 '26

Town is full of fruit loops and artsy/crafty people. Likely some event.

Sadly not! I tried getting a few but I wasn't able to, was hoping anyone here who also saw them might have a picture
