CAFÉ WITCH

Introducing our patron saint for the upcoming spring edition:

St. HILDEGARD VON BINGEN

Hildegard (1098-1179) was an abbess, composer, mystic, preacher, healer, herbalist, cosmologist, monastic mandala painter, and writer in Bingen am Rhein (current day Germany) during the Middle Ages. Hildegard wrote books as well as music, preached, rebelled against the constricting Roman church order, founded her own monastery for women and became somewhat of a beloved celebrity in the Roman empire. Throughout her life, she had countless mystical experiences, visions and encounters with the divine realms, and she was convinced that playing and singing music is of utmost importance for a person to maintain their health and vitality. Her story is fascinating and vast to say the least, and we are excited to bring her memory to life during Café Witch this spring.
