Tonight Mama Donna will be leading the famous Greenwich Village Halloween Parade with blessings. Joining her in this honorable endeavor is her marvelous Blessing Band of wonderful individuals who are deeply earnest in their desire to extend blessings of peace and positive community spirit to New York City.

They will be walking ahead of the parade for the entire route, blessing as they go. They will be dressed all in white an silver to emphasize the purity of their intentions. Since this is not a performance, but a real ritual, they will not be wearing masks or elaborate face paint, as they want their eyes and facial expressions to convey the sincerity of their mission.

Their blessings will be with smudge, or holy smoke, as well as bells, bubbles, glitter and spirited chanting. They will share blessings of peace, blessings of good will, blessings of community, blessings of safety, blessings of protection, and blessings of love.

Please join them wherever you are in sending out blessings to the two million people who will be in attendance, to all your loved ones, to our cities, to our country, to our world community, and to our precious planet.
