As shown in the video above, and in this article on the Bangor Daily News website, a prosperity hex sign by hexenmeister Jj Starwalker was chosen by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to represent that state on the White House Christmas Tree. The tree will be decorate with ornaments representing each of the 50 states and will stand in the Blue Room during the holiday season. Signs are available for inside or outside display in the online store and at the Maine Craft Association holiday store in the Bangor, Maine, mall through the end of the holiday season.

The Hexenmeister (hex master) is the painter of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch (actually Deutsch or German) hex signs, commonly found at the peaks of barns in Pennsylvania and the surrounding area. These circular hex signs have much mystery, myth and confusion surrounding them. I was taught that they were "painted prayers," invocations and petitions made visible, asking God for the blessing of protection for home and farm, good fortune, abundance and prosperity or inviting guests to be welcome.

Like many folk arts, their roots are not clear. This site is devoted to the art, magik and practice of designing and painting these symbols of my Pennsylvania "Dutch" heritage, the tradition in which I was taught and the directions in which I have taken it.
