The witches of Grailwood Coven follow the movements of earth, moon, sun and stars amidst the steel towers of our huge stone city of New York.

But it is our understanding of the grail quest to seek the truth about the mysterious connection between us and all the Cosmos: to understand b …

I noticed that while there are a ton of groups in Manhattan for small dog owners to get together with and without their pets, there aren't any for us big dog owners. I live on the UWS, am single, and have the world's most playful 6 year old chocolate lab.... I'd love to meet likeminded people also with big dogs for playgroups and fun. Perhaps we can meet on Saturday or Sunday mornings in Central Park, or organize fun runs, or just generally mix and mingle with our awesome dogs.... So, if you hav …
