Cha-Ching
Courtesy of the artistThere is a good possibility that the ancient Chinese divination method I Ching is something most might be unfamiliar with. The age-old text, also referred to as Book of Changes, has served as a source of inspiration for more than 2,000 years, influencing everything from religion to art. However, the art showing focuses on the latter and the impact that the revered writings have had on local artist Denise Weaver Ross, who has opened a solo show titled 64 Hexagrams at Tortuga Gallery. The show opened Oct. 5 and continues on consecutive Saturdays before it closes on Oct. 27. The scheduled exhibit features more than 100 new paintings inspired by the art of the I Ching and the aforementioned hexagrams to create a combination of trigrams related to heaven, earth, thunder, water, mountain, wind and fire. The artistry stems from Weaver Ross' personal interest in the subject and is sure to provide the audience a one-of-a-kind glimpse of her stunning rendition. (Shane Farias)

Are You a Good Witch or a Bad Witch?
Courtesy of WickedLong before this question was asked in the Land of Oz an unexpected friendship was developing between two girls from opposite sides of the tracks. Once again in the land of Burque the Broadway sensation Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz graces the stage of Popejoy Hall. Let this wildly electrifying tale carry you away to a land where the impossible becomes a reality, and your reality is magically transformed. This bewitching performance can only be experienced Wednesday, Oct. 17 through Sunday, Oct. 28. Tickets start at a modest $42 so even the most thrifty of witches can enjoy this breathtaking performance that captivates audiences year after year. (Ramona Beezus)

Silk and Lights and Everything Nice

And guess what! This year has all new, handcrafted lantern sculptures to marvel at. The artists from Zigong, China, have brought out their vast creativity to bring their exquisite culture to the renamed fest. Kicking off on Friday, Oct. 5 and running Tuesdays through Sundays until Dec. 2 at Expo New Mexico, see the wonders of the orient including demos in inner-bottle painting, traditional Chinese calligraphy and crystal engraving. If that's not enough, check out revolving performances in face changing, contortion and Chinese Yo-Yo as well as food choices for all in American munchies and Asian delicacies from Asian Home Cooking. The festival runs each night from 6 to 10pm and tickets range in cost from $0 to $18 with a separate charge for parking. This event is open to all ages. (Mayo Lua de Frenchie)

Dragon's House of HorrorImage via PixabayWelcome to your nightmare! If you're not a horror fan, the more than 1.25 mile horror house may not be the ideal evening stroll. But for others, the Guinness World Record holders of the world's longest indoor horror house is a terrifying and entertaining way to spend an evening. Dragon's House of Horrors comes back to Expo New Mexico for another chilling year. All ages are welcome to experience the thrills for $25, and add a suspenseful escape room adventure for just $5 more. Receive a text when your turn comes up so there's no waiting in line. With food vendors, booths to purchase wares and live entertainment, waiting for the text won't feel like waiting at all. The house opened its doors on Oct. 4 and runs Tuesday through Saturday until Oct. 26. After that it is open 7 days a week from Oct. 28 to Nov. 4 from 7pm to midnight. Bring extra cash for Expo parking fees. (Mayo Lua de Frenchie)

City on the EdgeCity on the Edge is a breezy, smart podcast looking at the stories from Albuquerque history that have often been overlooked. Each episode takes a deep dive into a topic like the 1955 crash of TWA flight 260, Sandia Man or the 1918 quarantine. Worthwhile listening that will spur your curiosity about things you didn’t even know about in the city where you live. It’s free and available wherever you get your podcasts. (Clarke Condé)
